hello guy

i really like him a lot.i think that the skin tones and wood are some of the best i've seen in 1/35.
i have just bought some alpine minitures for the first time and i'm looking forward to getting started on them............
whats next ?
neil.

Hey Neil, thank you for the compliments, I'm glad you like this little man (sculpted by Taesung, he's the real artist here !). This was the most detailed and finest figure I've painted so far. A great pleasure to paint, thanks to the realism of it.
My next project is finishing the diorama "My Sweet Sixteen", desert diorama with Stuart M3A1. After that, i'm planning to build an AFV's "Scheinwerfer 36 with trailer", and a Tristar's "Flak 38 with Waffen SS crew". But the figures will be Alpine (If I can find suitable ones in their range.

Guy-- marvelous build log. How did you like using that Tamiya Liquid Primer?
DJ

Hello DJ, thank you, I can always count on many fine reactions, good advice and tips.
That's why I like posting here on big A, people show true interest !

About Tamya's primer : I needs to be thinned down in my opinion, for it's too thick to use right from the bottle. It's a good primer but please NEVER use it on a plastic figure, I did this and it softened my figure (it felt sticky, even after 5 days of drying and hardening). I could even press a fingernail in the poor plastic thing. But used on resin, just great !

On Historicus Forma, people gave me some advice about the painting of hands and face. So I will post new pics of my figure soon. G.

Hello Guy,

Very nice figure ! I really like the details on the figures - especially the "US" stamp on the holster Looking forward to the new pics

Cheers
Alan
