Dean Whiston Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Relatively new member been posting my latest build in aircraft, which is a subject i've only recently returned to after a 12 year break, but have been dabbeling with figures on and off for a while so thought I’d post some of my recent (ish) completed builds. Masterbox 1/32 French Hussar Airfix 1/32 French Infantryman Masterbox 1/35 "Die Skatspieler" 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Figure modellers astound me, there's a lot more to getting figures looking right than there is to getting an aircraft look right, cracking job there Dean, I'm impressed! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Lovely work, I especially like your Airfix French Infantryman. A kit I made a number of times and never got anything near to the standard of yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Outstanding figures! I don't have first hand experience with Airfix figures - don't you love Masterbox ones, though? Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love .......... probably like is closer - they do some interesting subjects ( I have quite a few in the stash) but I find they can be a bit hit and miss on quality of sculpting, even in the same set (the panzer troops are an example 2 are top notch the others average and need some effort to bring them up to scratch) - you also need your green stuff handy without fail to fill / resculpt the gaps 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Not saying they are perfect, but a great value for the money, and lots of subjects You did a great job with that set, anyway Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Beema Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Great work but I especially love the 9th Hussar. Lovely bit of work. I might get get a couple of these myself and have a crack, won’t be up to your standard though.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Newsome Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Very nice indeed. It just goes to show that good results can be achieved with injection plastic kits. The braiding on the hussar is especially good. What type of paint did you use Dean? Roger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Various brands of acrylics i have lying around - I think they are mainly Army Painter and Vallejo with a few Citadel (mainly on the horse) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Newsome Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 On the rare occasion I've painted horses I've found Citadel inks are pretty useful for shading. Chestnut wash is one that springs to mind. Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Those are really good, I've been wanting to get that Hussar model. Airfix always surprises me with the quality of their old figure kits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a bad kit for masterbox and comes with loads of options covering different weapons and uniforms (I got mine off a well know auction site for £8 inc postage 😁) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
