Another interesting figure.

You are seriously searching the way to be a master of figures

I'm sure you will do a great work like the others

Nice looking kit John.

Bit of history which you might already know......

The Mohican haircut was worn by some American Paratroopers as a 'tribute' to the Canadians who lost their lives during the allied raid on the French port of Dieppe in August 1942.....Of the 6000 odd soldiers who landed, 60% were either killed, wounded or taken prisoner....all within 10 hours of landing.

Cheers,

Moni, it's neither, I think you'll find its war paint...allegedly to scare the enemy. A north American Indian tradition.

John, yet again I'll be watching this one...

as Ron said The Mohican haircut, and as you said its war paint ,but i like to think of it as blood ,lol

[john i am]

Cheers lads,nice info Ron and if I'm honest I didn't know until you told me so thanks. Monica sorry no more blood lol My gladiator took a beating for you and it is only war paint on his face but he won't be getting any of that neither I think he looks crazy enough to be honest not the kind to meet on a dark night . Here he is ready for primer [ATTACH]79838.IPB[/ATTACH]

By eck yer banging these figures out. How about putting some intermediate pictures up in stead of a before and finished. It would be great to see how you progress

BTW sorry to be pedantic but his hair cut is a Mohawk not a Mohican, a mohican has hair at the sides but shorter than the top, a mohawk has no hair at the sides

[Guest]

Looks nice!

Can I ask, if you have any kind of trouble to sand or join the pieces?

They seems be a good figures...

[monica]

oh John your no fun :P lol,

he is scarey with his Mohawk anyways dose Sean to got together well and a good start

i do like Paul suggestion with some more showing the stagers i think it would be a great help to alot off us, only if you have the time

think we could lean alot from your great painting stills

Ok thanks everyone I will post more pictures this is my second dragon figure and I have to say that my 1st one went together very well [ATTACH]79844.IPB[/ATTACH]

This second one had a couple of small issues one of them being he didn't want to hold his gun but a needle file and abit of super glue sorted that little problem plus there were a couple of small gaps but overhaul nothing to really shout about and having now built products from mini art dragon and tamiya I would say they are all on par with each other for quality and value for your money around the £10 mark with tamiya being slightly more expensive in some cases depending on the model. I have found so far figure modelling and painting to be very rewarding and relaxing as the more you practice like with most things the better you become and I still have my 1st figure from a while ago and if I compare with my latest figure then it looks like it's been painted by two different people.the nice thing is I know there is still room for improvement in my figures and with all the help and advice given from everyone on the forum past and present then hopefully I will progress so big thank you to everyone regards John
