Hi there!
After a long time, I have the time to post some of my work here.
This time, I made a little vignette using two figures from the rather old US Modern Infantry set, which I got at as a real bargain some months ago.
I tried to depict two infantry soldiers during the Desert Storm campaing in 1991. This is my first time at modern figures, so I am sure many thing should be improved.
As usual, all your feedback will be much appreciated.
Enjoy, and thanks for watching!
Pablo









Cheers, mates!

even though i think it turned out quite well. my 2 things on this one, one of which can be fixed pretty easily, is applying a filter or maybe at least some pigments to tone down the bright earth brown camouflage color. it sticks out quite a bit.. the other thing, which is probably not a big deal, but entrenching tools (shovels) wouldnt normally be worn on the utility belt like it is on the back soldier. a buttpouch would be in its place as it is on the foremost solder.

Hi there!
Thanks for your comments. Regarding the bright tones, it's all due to my poor skills with the camera. The figures has been coated with a generous layer of Testor's dullcote, however the camera flash makes them look shiny.
About the entrenching tool, thanks for your information. Tamiya instructions then are waaayyy off.
I will see if I correct it without damaging the paint job.
Thanks mate!
