discussion Tamiya 1/16 scale Luftwaffe officer

[Alan 45]

This is my first large scale figure and I think I've done ok with him , I've shown him without his life jacket so you can see the detail and I'll update this once I've completed that View attachment 84350

Great stuff Al, nice work indeed. Love the last picture of the Hurry pilot climbing into his plane...it's like: "Uh-oh...landed at the wrong airfield."

Cheers mate but I think I've just ruined him , I put some clear mate on him to dull down the uniform and it's all fogged up

I'll see if it drys out and take a look then

Yeah that's a good effort Alan, very well done

and the boots are fantastic with the shades of brown with the black ,top job,

and great work on the uniform, with the dark's,and lite, +++ from me

i agree ,but very well painted jacket,could you have him molding it behind his back if possible,,as all the work on the uniform is hidden,

or you will just have to do one more without it lol,

 

[Alan 45]

Thank you moni I appreciate that , I would have loved to have done that and I could of but the straps for the jacket are Moulded onto the back of the figure so it would have looked odd

My next figure in this scale will be better as it's a Wehrmacht officer so that will be better with nothing getting in the way of the detail

You've done an excellent job on him Alan, although I still think that particular kit looks like Ron Mael of Sparks!

 

[Alan 45]

Sparks lol I like it

Thanks guys I appreciate that it is a nicely detailed kit it would have been good to have the option of doing one or the other but the kit only allows you to build the one with all the detail covered up sadly
