Hello Everyone! I am not new to model kits exactly I have built many Gundam model kits but have never done a traditional one but after seeing these amazing diorama's I have decided to give it a try. Currently I am trying to paint 1:35 American Infantry from Tamiya but am having a hard time with the faces but I am trying. Anyways Hello and hope I can get Dio up on here soon.

Welcome aboard. I feel your pain. I have struggled for years getting faces right, but as I also build Dio's, figures are rather important. But finally I think I have grasped it, so stick with it, thanks in large part to people on here. My biggest problem was getting the skin tones right and the eyes. Stick with it,it will come in time.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard!

Welcome to the club. Lots of us have been down that road with faces. I'm still a couple of miles back and around the bend. I'll get there one of these days.
