Burn'n Through the Reichbuster's Pledge
Stop...Hammer-Time
Next completion is one of the German science experiments, the Ubersoldaten. This guy is an Ogre-sized figure, wielding a giant hammer. The spike on the hammer pommel isn’t original. At some point the pommel broke off during my painting, so I replaced it with a spear point from an old GW spear tip.
I’ve gotten questions on how to paint the metal. It was GW leadbelcher, washed with nuln oil and agrax earthshade to give it a dark, oiled look. Then edge highlighted with a bright silver, if you want it to look more weathered and old, you can add successive layers of washes and bight highlights/dings/scrapes. This makes some edges/scrapes seem newer and others older.

Nice work!
