This is my first real effort at 1:35 scale plastic figures. It is ICM's German early war tank crew. I plan to post them with a Pz-38t. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of these figures. I do not claim to be a master figure painter, but this is my best effort.

Chuckster,
Your figures are lookin' good for a 1st attempt! You did a very nice job with the detail painting on the uniforms.....especially the officer with his hands behind his back in the 2nd photo. In the future though, be sure to remove the mold seams from your figures. You missed a pretty big one on the hand of the squatting dude in the 1st picture.

Hey man. Good first attempt at 1-35 figures. A suggestion for your next attempt is do a light dry brush on the uniforms to bring out the creases and other details. This is an easy process that will really improve the look of your figures and will prepare you for the next step of blending highlights and shadows.
Keep up the good work.

Chuckster,
If that was your 1st attempt then you are well on your way to getting better. I agree about the figure prep suggestion. For your next figures that you do try to remove the mold seams. You did well with the piping and the eagles on their chests, etc.
