Thanks Bull! Actually, nagpalit lang ako nang service, I used the default one. Bale magkapantay lang yon with regards to posting. Check out forum help. There is an info regarding sa mga kapantay ng isang rank. To change yours, go to "my account" then settings. At the lowest one nandoon yung option to change your service.

So what was your former service? I mean 1500+ posts and still a sergeant? I did choose the default service since I had no idea about the others. Anyway, the stars look good man!

Kakaiba nga eh. Nung binasa ko doon sa info nila, sa enlisted ones ang pinakamataas mo lang makukuha = Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, Sergeant Major of the Army, Sergeant Major of the Army etc... sad to say, pero hanggang sarhento lang so the default one looks better (Lt. General :-) Yeah!).

Fritz, I've followed exactly what you've said about washing the fig with the exception of drybrushing it. Please check if I did it correctly.

Yup you did it right! Once you drybrush the details will just pop up like mushrooms!.

Thanks master!!


What Master?

P.S. Your figure looks quite glossy (Well, it happens to all of us, remember the figures on the flatbed of my Famo?). I guess a matt coat could take care of this.

BTW, which brake fluid do you use? Baka kasi minsan may brands na harmful sa plastics eh (kung meron man)

Just my luck! Brake fluid didn't work for brushed-on enamels. Sayang tuloy yung Prestone brake fluid ng dad ko Oh well, back to the thinner technique.
