About product

A British commander in the field, 1940, 1:35 scale

The second of the command figures of the British 1940 line from Dynamo-Models, 1:35 scale. The figure is captured in an alert stance, as if it were just taking a report or giving an order, and against the calm number one of the same line it brings tension into a scene.

The situation the figure belongs in

For British units in France the spring of 1940 meant above all movement along roads, short halts in villages and improvised command posts over maps spread on the hood of a vehicle. That is exactly where the figure finds its place. It is not a figure for an attack but for a moment of decision. A command figure also gives a scene direction: a viewer instinctively follows where it is looking.

What to watch when painting

The face takes the most work, because on a command figure it is the first thing the eye falls on. Work in thin steps from a mid flesh tone toward brightened areas on the forehead, the nose and the cheekbones. The tie and the shirt are small areas that give a scene away if you miss the shade. The peaked cap deserves a sharp transition between the crown and the peak; that small detail decides the overall impression. Unify the boots and the straps at the end with light dust, so the figure does not look polished in the middle of a field scene.

For which modelers

  • For a diorama of French roads and villages in the spring of 1940
  • For a command group at a single table with a map spread out
  • For modelers of British hardware whose scene lacks a human dimension
  • For figure painters practicing faces in the usual military scale

FAQ

Best of all by a map, a vehicle or an improvised post, where it acts as the center of the action.

Yes, both poses are designed so that they form a single tableau together.

It is not. The figure is supplied without a finish and needs assembly and paints to complete.

On the face and on the small areas of the shirt and the tie, because it is exactly those that decide the impression a command figure makes.
