Hi Ciro. I wanted to share some more in progress on my figure and show you the goggle strap decal that I found... Microscale 70051 in white... Thank you for looking!





The goggle band "TRACK" logo repeats, so more to do still.

When I get this other arm on, a good dullcoat spray will take the shine off. The knife handle mounted in the vest is the hardest part of the assembly. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Hey Great job on this one!!I like very much all yours details,the knife handle is great!!Also the "track" works are great!!!!

I bet that the difficult part is the head...it's a very small area to paint it correctly!right?
The only negative side to me is the AK....but it's not your fault...
I hope to get a result like yours with mine!!Thank you again to be so gentle!and...of course,for your considerations and help!!

Cheers

Thank you for the kind words Ciro. Yes, I agree that something could be done with the rifle. Perhaps just cut and replace the forward muzzle section with Live Resin, Tahk, or even the Dragon aftermarket part? I am going to try the figure petting the dog next. Enjoy!

I've on the way all the 4 soldiers....I only miss the new set with the two soldier in the Gaz Tiger(driver&gunner)....Hope to receive them soon!!
And please!!Post some photos of your next figure!!I really want see how you will approach to the next one!

Ps
I've also ordered a VSS vintorez from Masterclub,due to nature and composition of the weapon it should be better reproduced than the AK and also it should be more simple to paint!I'll post pics!

Cheers

Really nice work on that figure amoz- the uniform colors are spot-on as are the various details. The decals for the goggle straps are a particularly nice touch.

Thank you Karl. Much fun! I really enjoy these figures as the resin casting is first rate! Think with the next figure I will tone down that "TRACK" logo on the goggle strap with more grey over wash. Looking forward to seeing more of everyone's photos especially when folks are considering adding the aftermarket weapons stuff! All the best
