what scale is the 1918 Rambo?

 

[Guest]

Thanks Fernando, he's. 200mm in resin.

So my slow boat from China arrived today, so my build will be this fella. It's a 120mm resin German infantryman with a maxim. It's a recast me thinks as no box etc. So here's the parts. Don't expect anything in the way of Mr Day/Gilson etc, standard. This is way off track for me.. off on holiday now for three weeks so could be slow on posts. cheers

Well it looks like a smashing figure.
Thinking I’d be a tad dubious about painting a large figure too:surprised:
....I can barely manage 1:35, and even then mine look like the kids got hold of it:smiling5:.
I’m sure you’ll do a fine job:thumb2:

 

[Guest]

Thanks Si, I can't do 1/35 either,.. all for the love of the hobby.. Lol

A wonderful figure and a great choice. I have a picture of the completed figure taken at a model show if you are interested in colours. final look etc. It was all done in oils.

 

[Guest]

Steve , yes please, that would be of great help, thanks.:thumb2::thumb2:

Nice progress Brad.
I hope your version will be more realistic and have some mud on his boots etc. Not like that squeeky clean dude our good buddy Steve posted!

 

[Guest]

Aww more stuff to try and do, lol, ok muddy it might be...maybe... Not... Dunno... Don't panic... Help...

 

[Guest]

Ignore everyone Brad.
Steve will insist on the helmet having camo and Ron will want that mud and half a pizza base for the base. :smiling3::smiling3::smiling3:
Crack on, just enjoy, and panic later.
John.
