Pretty much what everybody else has said. Top shelf material, really looks convincing

Rich

Thank you guys, very chuffed with your comments. I'll try and get some decent photos up this weekend and get them posted.

Have a great weekend

Dan

Glad to see your maintaining your usual high standards Dan.

Keep it up

Thanks Kev, good to see you here buddy

Anyway, a brief update,

I've been working on the crew, taken its time as I've been busy with work and life.
I've cobbled this little red fella up from spares, cutting elbows and things to try and get a natural pose.
He's made up from the ICM Soviet tank crew set and some Tamiya US Army figures. with a resin head.
I quite like him

Still has a lot of work to tidy up the limbs and blend them in, he's really still in the roughing out stage.










Cheers

Dan

Looking Good mate !

That little fella is going to be the icing on the cake matey.

Keep it up.

Rich

That looks awesome!! Wow , all the extra's !! Have fun!!

Thanks guys, keeo the kind words coming

I've managed to tidy up figure now and I'm waiting for the Green stuff to dry before I prime. Added the headset lead and I've settled on the resin head.

Last pictures before primer and paint.









Regards

Dan

Glad you settled on that head mate, the other one you've shown looked like a sub captain that was lost.

I think his hand may be a little large, but some of that could be forced perspective, only you can tell.

Rich

Nice conversion. I looks natural.

Got to agree with Richard the hand does look big! Could be yr poor photographic skills

That's the problem when only the best will do.

Keep it up

Regards to you all, it's been a while since my last update,
I've managed a few hours at the bench so here's the latest
few photo's of my attempt at a figure, I'm not that good but
I'm trying













Cheers

Dan

"not good" doesn't fit. Maybe, "learning". The figure looks great!

Looking good !!
Love the flesh tones, did you use acrylic or oils?

Hi Kev, All vallejo Acrylics used on this one, four basic colours and a wash, I've had to use a drying retarder as we are having a bit of a heatwave for the UK and the paint drys almost on contact with the brush, Still getting used to them but I can see the attraction over oils.

Cheers

Dan

The face looks pretty good to me, and I agree with Kev, nice flesh tones.

Rich

Excellent work on the figure Dan, you've brought him to life expertly.

Cheers chaps for the kind words

The next set of photo's, A few people have asked me about the paints I used for the flesh tones, so here is a quick picture of what I used.




And to some wagon shots, not 100% happy with the figure but I'm not going to mess anymore.











I'm going to take a break on this build for while and practice some figure painting before I settle on the other two crew.

Thanks for watching so far guys.


Dan
