discussion Andrew's completed 1/72 Revell Pak 40 crews x2 (plus guns)

[Gavalaar1980]

Exceptional, flawless figure painting. The smaller scale figures look mega tricky. Tamiya do a similar model to this; what do you think of their figure range?

Thanks Gavin, very much appreciated.
I'm really pleased with how they turned out considering they're the first figures I've had a proper stab at. The were pretty tricky in places but are very nicely moulded and so that made them easier to read as I painted them.......having an optivisor with a x1.8 magnification lens also helped!!!!
The only Tamiya figures I've had a good at are 50 years old but they're not too bad all things considered.
There is a website called Plastic Soldier Review that does a review of every day of figures anyone has done in a set but I think they're mainly 1/72.
Thanks again for the support.

Well done on this Andrew....I'd be thrilled if I could get this kind of results in 1/87 scale! :thumb2: Rick H.

Rick, thanks very much indeed. Having see your work I appreciate the support! I couldn't imagine trying this as 1/87; 1/72 was hard enough.

Thanks very much. I'm not sure about steady but certainly I feel like I'm getting the hang of it at last.

Thanks as always for the support.
