first time painting up a figure. I used acrylic craft paint. and the help of some posts on this site and finscale site
these guys are for my tamiya M48A3 Patton and are from the kit

Im a car builder mainly but need a change of pace lol so be easy on me!

James, nice job so far.

Robert

Good job with the first guy.

heres the other dude

Nothing like testing your patience. I struggle with figures as well. Looks like you are on the right track. Good job on the shading.

hello james
nice first attemp , i dont think my car engines would come out as nice as your figures! cant wait to see how you handle the faces

hi there ,
good first figures ,, let me first say mine were no where near as good . you have a good base colour and the shading looks good ,, at this point could i just offer a little advice that may help you , once you get the hang of it ,,, dry brush your high lights , this helps blend the colours ,,,and i would also install mike booms on the crew helmets , hope this helps ,, but keep up the fantastic work and you will soon be producing master peices ,,,keep sharing ,

going against what Ian says ( just a different opinion)
i wouldnt dry brush the highlights, unless your lookign for a quick fix, head to this website for a great tutorial

head to the model colour page, it has a good insught about shading

thanks for the feedback!

I added some shades and a mike boom. also touched up the uniform a bit

let me know what you guys think

Great work James!

The skin tones and faces especially are very good.
The only small feedback I would have would be to try and tone down the extreme highlight on the second figures fatigues. Right now its a bit stark. You could always blend this in with a light wash of the base colour watered down heavily. It should tone down the highlights a bit and blend the colours more evenly for you.

Really spot on though, especially for a first attempt! I wish my first figures were this good!

yeah really looking good ,, keep it up mate

You've done a very good job with those figures, the soft detail must make highlighting quite hard. Skin tone on the face looks quite effective too.
