Geo1966 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Don't think you will regret the resin figure Rob. Appreciate they are expensive, but i think they are worth the money and seem to make painting easier somehow. George 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ummed and ahhed a few times on various kits but this one is just perfect.... hope I can do it justice.... and if I do, I am thinking my super Pershing (when I build it) may get some crew too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeff Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Now thats looking like a tank! I'd be tempted to put the figure on the deck ... just to be different .... and to show it off! Keith  Edited February 20 by Keeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Build done. Still not sure 9n figure but have added a support in the turret so he at least stands up now.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoxx77 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Looking good so far Rob. I like the figure standing in the command hatch. It gives it a bit more of a 'captured in the moment' look to the whole model. Edited February 23 by Maddoxx77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 A lot of priming but it had gone black.... Going to be a while until I move on to OD 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 No spray time the last few weeks but did get time to do some work on the figure.... White dry brushing and then thin coats of colour, am fairly happy with him actually, no doubt the face will ruin it.... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Ooh, nowhere to hide with that upturned face I wonder what he's looking at. Maybe he needs a splodge of bird poo down the front of his jacket - it would explain his angry expression! Looking forward to the tiger stripes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddoxx77 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Looking greatso far Rob. As for the figure's face. Just take your time. Adding a bit of retarder to your paint helps alot. I usually work with 3 colors. Base of cavalery brown, highlights with flesh, cheeks with a very diluted redbrown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
