LankyPanky Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 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. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard S Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 That’s a nice job, as Hairtrigger says realistic face but am I the only one who it reminds of Rodney Trotter?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
