well I thought I try to post some pictures here of my first dio...first time using a digi cam and it shows well I think that 72nd dio looks better live than in the pics and it'll look even better after it's finished..please post some comments good or bad it doesnt matter, what matters is that I learn some thing

Thanx in advance







Of course it's not painted yet just primed in black and those figures need some paint

Good working with the cam! On the second and third pic, the light "flushes" out the detail. Try using a much less light.

Your machine gunner is in a very precarious position under a large piece of concrete in a damaged buuilding that has no suppport. I'd suggest knocking that off before it falls on him and makes it a very bad day for him.

looks pretty good so far. i think some more small rubble would look good. what did you use for a base? keep up the good work.

Looking pretty good so far.
Watch the seam lines on the figures. I've done some 1/72 work and know how hard it can be to get rid of them. I use a brand new #11 blade and carefully scarpe them off.

thanx a lot for the tips, I was expecting some more errors pointed out well the figures I'm gonna use are not those.. believe me I know how it's dificult to remove flash, specially in 72nd and being the first time to do so...the base is a coffee jar lid these are the figures I'm painting, I'm using the ones in the pictures above and the one of the guy standing on his knee (that I'm gonna put in the corner).





they were primed with acrylic german grey and given a bit of a flesh mix in the propper areas..I have to get some more paint brushes...mine are way past their life limit
