David Lane Paints the JSM German Prisoner 1917

David has painted the German Prisoner bust. The subtle application of dirt and weathering on uniform and helmet is particularly well balanced with the sadness and fatigue expressed in this soldier’s face.

David Youngquist’s JSM Trench Conversion

20150909 23MXD New VersionDavid Youngquist from Last Cavalry www.lastcavalry.com has built and converted some JSM figures and set into a trench diorama with MG08 stand. Only the left hand corner of trench is from the original kit, the rest he has scratch-built. I really love Dave’s models, especially the groundwork and I have to admit, that it looks like the real thing! The painting of the wooden posts and planks, with the different stages of exposure to the elements is excellent.

These model rodents are intended to enhance any dioramas or modelling scenes, historical or otherwise, but particularly models of the Great War period. As these creatures varied in sizes, the differences between the smaller scales of 1:32nd & 1:35th is virtually unnoticeable.

Some of the pictures above are a design feature of the 3D programs, which are now used by me to partly create the master models. These are then cast in the usual grey resin common to the JSM models. Some objects are also shown transparent – this is to help display hidden parts of the model.

Dan Moore’s Mauser T Gunner Vignette

Dan Moore from Australia builds the JSM Mauser T Gunner Vignette. Part of Dan’s own text to this figure and painting – the pictures speak for themselves:

20161127-20tg-2 Dan MooreThe figure is based on an officer of the 27th Prussian Reserve Infantry Regiment who participated in a defensive action during the Beaucamp-Cambrai offensive of September 1918. The figure was base-coated in Tamiya acrylics via airbrush, with oils used for blending, shadows & highlights. The head was finished in various Vallejo shades. All weapons and field equipment were slightly enhanced where required & painted using Tamiya shades. The basic plaster Vignette base was used, with pigments and foliage added. The poppies were fabricated from stretched sprue & crepe paper. The stakes & barbed wire were also scratch made.
