Tamiya 36306 WW2 German Machine Gunner (Greatcoat) 1:16


Recommended Posts

My first figure was this Tamiya greatcoat figure as part of a kit swap at my local IPMS group.

Pretty pleased with the outcome all things considered and it has helped me with a few techniques and brush control that will transfer readily into my armour and plane modelling that I normally do. 

 

The greatcoat itself was painted using the ammo field grey set, with the res of the model being painted in citadel acrylics.

Definitely recommend this model as a first one for anyone thinking of getting into painting figures due to the lack of skin tone to try and get to grips with.

That’s a nice job, as Hairtrigger says realistic face but am I the only one who it reminds of Rodney Trotter?!

Haha, yes Richard now that you mention it! By this time next week Rodney...

A very young Nicholas Lyndhurst was in an episode of the 1970's  children sci-fi  programme, The Tomorrow People "Hitler's Last Secret"  as a teenage SS member...
