Hi everybody!
Here are some pictures of my first 1/16 figure (I know that this forum is mostly 1/35 figures focused, but this is tank ace figure, so it fits best here in Armorama). For my first figure I've chosen Dragon 1609 kit (most probably Michael Wittmann's figure ).
I'd really appreciate comments - if you see that I've missed something or done something wrong - please tell me. I'm still learning to paint figures and any commets will help me to improve my skills.

I hope you like this one.

Hi , Andrzej!

For a first time, your figure looks great! Although it's monotone (by that, I don't think it's boring, but only one tone/shade of color:)) you've picked a really difficult color (black) to paint.

Michael Wittmann was wearing dark blue mechanics' overalls (with sewn on collar patches) below his black leather jacket, so if it is possible, you could try to repaint the trousers and visible details using paint references you have in the figure box.

Also, you could try to show contrast on your figure by adding some more shadows and highlights.

Best regards,

Thanks Nemanja,
Good point - I'll work with this as soon as I find more time. It's great thing to have some place where you can ask somebody for opinion and get one that helps.

Hammonds rule!
