    German officers in winter uniforms 1/72 scale.

    Hi all, Here are my first ever 28mm figures. These were a wonderful challenge to paint, especially the faces and highlights/shadows on the uniform creases in the arms. Hope you enjoy the photos! Kind regards, Gavin.

    Full Metal Jacket

    Hi all, This is random but I really find the movie Full Metal Jacket excellent (for the first half only, the second half is mediocre in my opinion but it's a classic war film nonetheless). I really think R.Lee Ermey should have won an Oscar for his acting; it's actually a scandal that he wasn't...

    Bravely attempting a set of 28mm figures....

    This will be my last update until this project is complete folks. The faces took every bit of precision skill I had in me; was harder than surface grinding 2 plates of steel down to within microns (one of my tricky engineering tasks I used to encounter)!

    Managed to get an iron cross on the uniform! Not the best photo but it does resemble an ultra fine cross up close.....

    Bravely attempting a set of 28mm figures....

    Hi folks, As the thread title says:- I'm having a go at 28mm figures, set of 4 German officers! I am considering modifying a brush, cutting down to a very few bristles for the ultra fine detail required.... Figures all primed and ready to start colour blocking! G

    Need inspiration for next project!

    Hi all, Just asking for some advice about figure projects besides the Tamiya 1/16 scale range (I've done 3 but none of the others in the range really interest me). There are some excellent looking resin models on Ebay/Amazon in the same scale; are these desirable to build and paint or a pain in...

    German Elite Infantry 1/16 scale featuring pea camouflage pattern.

    Hi again folks, Another completed build from the Tamiya 1/16 scale figure series. This was a wonderful challenge to build and paint and am very pleased with the end result. Will hopefully add some more photos soon in natural light because artificial light doesn't do the figure justice, but just...

    Hi fellow figure aficionados, This is my completed face (smock not yet painted) for the aforementioned figure. Quite chuffed with the outcome actually, much improved on the wooden looking first attempt (see critique corner). Used Vallejo paints for this except for the eyes, which I used Tamiya...

    First attempt at figure building/painting.

    Hi all, Firstly I'm not a regular poster on here because I don't get the time due to a busy working and home life. On average I only get time to build 2 models a year! This is my first ever figure build and paint job. It's a Tamiya 1/16 scale German ww2 machine gunner. I did the painting...
