[scottie3158]

Thank you Paul appreciate it.

 

[scottie3158]

Pete, very kind of you.

 

[scottie3158]

Neil, thanks a lot mate I just wish I had your figure skills so I could make the bod on the back.

 

[scottie3158]

John, of course 18tpi and tensioned correctly : )

 

[Jim R]

That is a superb example of modelling at it's very best. You should be very proud of what you have achieved. A joy to follow the build.

 

[scottie3158]

Jim, thank you mate that really is high praise indeed.

 

[Nicko]

Another cracking build Scottie. What a fantastic result!

I have decided to have a go and do a figure as seen in the picture. Hats off to all the figure people out there this is not easy and is a first for me. Using various body parts and cutting and shutting I have come up with something that looks roughly right. When the filler has hardened off I will try and hopefully make him look less like Frankenstein's creation. Once that is done if I can it will be blending all the parts in to one uniform.



cheers

Oh yes, bring it on boy!

Looks good to me.

Superb work Paul

This is figure Mk2. I realised that I had made him all wrong. The guy in the picture has his right leg raised and not his left leg. So I tried again.
I have added pockets and a collar. This is a first for me. If he paints up well I may use him if not then it was a good experience, and I may have another go.

Does anyone know where I can get lots of body bits in 1/35. I did look on evil bay but I couldn't find anything.


I need to change that left hand It's huge.
cheers
Scottie

Try the bay of evil and just buy some old 1:35 soldier packs and then use arms, legs, heads as required?

 

[scottie3158]

Thats not a bad idea.

 

[scottie3158]

I have placed in on a simple base. I think I will loose the figure I'm really not happy with it.





cheers
Scottie

I agree Paul, the jeep and its accessories are so good that the figure just detracts from it.
Pete

 

[scottie3158]

I thought so as well it looks like he has a full pamper from the back he has now been removed.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Fantastic job Paul. I agree that the figure spoils the composition but that's because of the base, not the figure.
Don't give up on the figure conversion stuff, for a first attempt he shows great promise.
