Thanks everyone for the nice comments.
Yeah, I don't usually get into too much stowage......but I think it really helps out here.
The figs did come out descent in the pictures. But like I said in the sherman group build - looking right at them - they need some work. The commander looks like Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm str. - in need of some serious plastic surgery !
zokissima - the dusting effect I got was from a couple short blasts of buff from the airbrush. I don't know - I think it might have looked better before - not sure
Sherm - the ultracast figs were great.
Very clean, crisp, nice deep detail, and no sink holes ... nothing ! They come in tan colored resin - ( a little easier for that base coat of flesh color ). It came with one 3/4 body, two 1/2 bodies and extra heads to choose from.
Buff - just sprayed the whole thing with a rattle can of testors flat black. It sticks like crazy and covers well. Works out good for rubber on the road wheels too
