I can't believe there isn't one readily available in 1-32 scale from a major manufacturer

It's a travesty. I think the various Fly kits are the only ones readily available, which is why they now charge about £50 for kits not really worth that kind of money (I've built a couple). PCM used to do one, but I think they are long defunct now.

So sorry I missed this one Neil. For a 1/32 scale figure, you have done wonders to bring it life. How on earth did you manage to paint the eyes so well??? The last pic definitely tells a good story and highlights your great figure painting skills Sir!!!

wow ,thanks Allen.
I have so many 1/32 figures in my stash that I daren't get used to larger scales in case I can't go back!
As for the eyes, I don't try too hard... the main thing is that the pupils are not too small, and they are both pointing the same way! I don't bother with a lower eyelash, just a thin line of dark flesh shading .
I feel unworthy even writing this- there are other more expert people to ask about painting, I just wing it and hope for the best!

I know what you mean about the scale you are painting in......every thing else looks gigantic to me as well. A beautiful result on this one Neil. Thanks for sharing it. Rick H.
