Neil's Tamiya 1/16th Luftwaffe Pilot

That is a good likeness to Galland, Neil. You won't need much with paint to carry it further.

Cheers,
Richard
 
Had a lovely read through Neil. Very impressed with the changes you have made. Looking forward to seeing the wet stuff

thanks for looking

Mr. Galland is looking swell. I built his aircraft a couple of years ago, a Japanese company did a 1/48 figure of him, but this looks much much better! Looking forward to see the paint mate.

Well, I finally got the brushes out.
It's a bit different from 1/35 scale, that's for sure!
Contrary to my usual practice of leaving the face till last I decided to do it first and work downwards, to avoid handling the painted areas too much as I go along.
Not up to the standards of the other painters on here by any means, but it's a start.

That's quite enough for one day!
Thanks for looking in

That's Galland alright Neil, toning and blending will be fun with such a large canvas to play with.

Cheers,
Richard

Great Job... the jaunty angled cap and the cigars are a nice touch... full of character!

Cheers Jason, the cigar turned out better than I could have hoped, considering the little amount of effort I put into it

Thank you Richard, the toning and blending is the really scary part :flushed:
 
Watching with interest as I am doing the same kit. Just need a smidge of filler around the arms and he will be ready for the primer. This will be my first figure so will be looking for tips.:smiling:

Not much to report with Dolfo ,unfortunately.
I discovered the need for more filler on his shoulders where the two parts of the Schwimmweste meet, so I decided to address that before going any further. I had to put a paper bag over his head though to protect the make-up ;)
