Nice job, hemble. Those AB Figures models are some of the nicest military miniatures I've ever seen in any scale.

Check them out here:

Example:


I mostly paint 15mm and 1/76 scale figurines, so from my perspective, painting 1/35th scale figures is like painting GI Joes! Laugh [(-D]

Hi Guys

jaysun- I gave a quick run down on the painting the camo on the 1/72 Schwerer Plattformwagen section.

spector822002- the figures are actually very easy to paint I've painted 1/35, 1/16 and 1/6 figures and 1/72 are far the easiest, I've only started painting 1/72 figures in the last 2months.
With the bigger figures you really have to add alot of detail to give them there own look and feel.
But with 1/72 don't get me wrong you still have to add detail but no where as much and the effect is the same.

Wow great Dio. How do you paint those Camo Schemes on the tiny 1/72 scale figs?
I love the smell of super glue in the morning. Smells like...victory.

The figures are all AB miniatures the 88mm is from Hasegawa and built straight out of
the box the fence is from an Aussie company called KERROBY MODELS the trees and grass are from Woodland Scenics.
