Here's another attemp in working with figures:





This is DML's 101st Airborne Division

I kinda goofed up the face. Don't worry, will work on it. Tell me what you think about the straps? Special thanks to WeWillHold for that technique



The rifleman looks much better than the BARman IMO.

BTW, after this figure, I'll do the one in kneeling position. Can anyone give me the color of the uniform for the one in kneeling position?

Hit there shonnen! Getting better there man. Maybe someday I might interest you in building larger figures.

With 1/35 faces I dont use brushes larger than #1.An I try to imagine somebody like Michelle Pfeiffer when doing the face. Para ka lang kasi nag-apply ng make-up sa babae. (Ay, bumigay!)

With regards to the shadows of the uniforms try looking at this:

See the guys cloak. This is all Khaki Drill (Humbrol #72) the shadows was done with Tamiya Smoke Acrylic and the highlights with #72+White.

Well yes, I do have some share of large scale figures. But they are all female anime figs :-) Nagpapractice lang ako sa 1/35 so I can work hard on the 1/6 and my 1/9th anime figs.

Ahh yes... I've been to that site. Badtrip nga, I've used a wrong color match for the Wool Melton Overcoat. It should be 1 part khaki + 1 part flat earth and not khaki drab. That's why it doesn't look like the one in the box :-)

I'm off this weekend to buy meself some oils for the face
