I doubt anyone here will be mean Smith M. One thing I can pretty much say for most of these guys. Is they can be constructive without being mean.
Pretty ambitious paint scheme first time out.
They look good for this being the first time.
A few things that might help.....
1) Seam lines. Still alot of flash on them. This detracts from the fig and under some light conditions can really stand out. If you use a wash on the figure or drybrush, they will really stand out, so take some time and prep the figure before painting. Clean up flash or seam lines. Fill any gaps in the arms and assemblies. This includes any equipment.
2) Mix your paint thin. Better result with a couple of thin coats than 1 heavy coat.
3) Sometimes washes can add detail in the face that you would have problem painting in. An umber wash or brown wash on the face, especialy on 1/35 will do most of your detail work for you. Then a quick drybrush with a lighter flesh will give you highlights that will make the face look better. It should take you a couple of applications for the drybrushing to show up. Don't rush it. Later when you feel more comfortable painting faces...I highly reccomend oils. But that's another discussion.
4) Shading and highlights. Even camo has folds that have shadows and highlights. A wash and drybrushing will do wonders here.
5) Outlining. Use a dark color and a really fine brush to outline things like seams, pockets, flaps, support straps, belts, etc. Will make a big difference.
6) weathering. Boots get dirty, knees, seat and elbows wear or get dirty faster than other parts. Weather or show more wear in these areas.
7) Spend the same amount of attention to detailing gear as you do the figure. A quick and dirty on this stuff will detract from a well done figure.
8) You can get into things like hollowing out sleeves and reattaching hands as well as some figure conversions later. But for now concentrate on just doing really good OOB figures. As hard as it may be to resist, start off doing simple uniforms first to get the feel of the above tips. The results will show better and help you learn and improve or see mistakes. Practice makes perfect and you'll never be at a level where you stop learning, but you'll paint an army of guys getting there. Thats the fun. Keep it fun and never get so wrapped up in perfection that you make this more of a job than a hobby. You should be just as happy with these first figs as you are with the thousandth figure you do.
Good luck and keep up the good work.
Lets see more, whats next?
