PetrOs Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Hello The planned diorama will contain a large number of figures and some vehicles, and this thread will show you the figures. Vehicle thread will appear when I will build any While the cockpit assembly and the fuselage of the Ju are drying, I went on painting one of the figures. It was a white metal pilot figure from airwaves - AW33 Luftwaffe WW2 Airman, Standing, Peaked Cap. The guy is the first of the Junkers' 3-men crew, other 2 will be the ones from CMK. After unpacking, the figure looked so: (Plastic piece attached as a provisional stand for painting) After some cleanup (there was a small but visible seam on the figures' sides, scrapped with scalpel and smoothed by a bit of CA glue) and priming with Gunze's Mr.Metal Primer I have hand painted the figure using model master and revell nitros, tamiya, gunze and vallejo acrylics, just grabbing the right color from my shelf. After the basic color application I painted the details and then used the spanish method for the shadows instead of washing. So here is the result Edited July 21, 2008 by PetrOs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrOs Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Nice work But I have to ask (honestly), spanish method? Can you explain for a novice like me please? cheers Bob Spanish method - instead of making the shadows using a wash and highlights with drybrushing, you paint the shadows using a darker shade and highlights with a lighter shade of the main color.

PetrOs Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hello While waiting for the C.R. 42 motor to dry, I painted the next figure. It is a CMK resin one, and a very fine one! As always, I employed a number of different techniques, giving the life jacket a wash but doing the spanish way on all other surfaces and folds Here he is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
