Just been catching up with this one Alan, the jeeps look nice mate and the figures don't look to big in my mind, it was quite a snug vehicle really. Did you brush paint these Alan? What's your process?


Cheers

Cheers Phil I'm glad you like it


Yes it's brush painted , my proccess is a simple one , paint the base coat , oil wash dry brush again in base coat if needed then dry brush in a dark grey along edges to give the impression of ware and tear then use an using a thin brush and put a small amount of oil paint on and dry brush that into corners and around detail and fade it out with a clean dry brush, then a couple of coats of matt clear varnish and it's done


It sounds like a lot of work but once you get the hang of it which isn't long you'll fly through it , just one thing when you add the oil paint make sure your base coats are completely dry of it can remove your base coats :)


I've now painted the Jerry cansView attachment 113949

I haven't been able to do much on this lately but I have managed to finish my first stand alone figure


I don't know if I want him siting on a tank or sat leaning on something


He looks a bit rough in the closups but he is much better on set as it were View attachment 125848View attachment 125849

They all look a bit rough in close ups, but once "set in scene" and given a bit of distance from the camera they will "blend" nicely. ;) Very few of us can build 1/35 figures that can stand "close up" scrutiny, I certainly know I'm NOT in that group:oops:....................Jim:)

I agree Jim , figures are an enigma for me , I just get the acrylic and wash version good and then someone comes along with oil paints so I have to learn all over again lol

I've got myself in a real pickle with my "Eye Deep In Hell" dio. 8 figures plus have to make at least a couple of "casualties" from scrap box:oops: Guess I better start getting good at them, I really want to go all out with the detail and weathering with this one so it will be a drawn out affair for sure. But you can always keep up with progress in the under construction forum...........Jim:)

I've been keeping an eye on that Jim , have you thought of having them sunk in the mud to mask them , I've seen it done and it can hide a lot :)
 
nice work on the figure,


they will always be tricky little guys to get right,and a pic,seems to show any little floor with them,


no matter how good they look from a little off,:rolleyes:

Best thing is I have unlimited "mud" can always dab more about where needed so should be no trouble to have them positioned realistically, just wanted to get tanks in early stage as they are integral part of the landscape;)
