Step-by-step – Painting Palmenmuster (palm tree) camouflage in Autumn colors
Here we go with the first part of the long awaited series on how to paint German WW2 camouflage patterns. We’ll start with the Palmenmuster (palm tree) camo pattern for Autumn, so predominantly in brown and orange colors. I am not claiming that my way of painting camo patterns is the best way or the most […]
Painting Liudmylla… step-by-step
As this miniature was started as part of a painting jam with a few friends in my basement, I didn’t take any pictures of the first steps, except the first one below. At this stage I had painted most of the face already and I had applied a thin layer of Russian Green for the […]

Step-by-step…. painting US Officer Drumpf

Krupp L3H – For a truck full of Germans (WIP Part #2)
Previously on Stoessi’s Heroes: WIPs part #1 for the Krupp truck To intensify the dusting, I applied various mixes of pigment with a dry brush.

Krupp L3H – For a truck full of Germans (WIP #1)
After painting quite a bit of German infantry in the past few months, I decided that it’s time to give them some wheels. Yes, I know… a regular truck is not the most impressive vehicle that the Wehrmacht had to offer, but I really like the model and it had been sitting around fully assembled […]
