Thanks all!

And thanks Psstoff995.. your words about the uniform warmed my heart :)

 

Well, I just ordered the Vallejo skin tone set so we'll see if I do make any changes.. I say he do look good as is... I just had to get used to the look :)

 

I'll add an Einfield to him sooner or later... Pictures to come!

As far as removing the flesh tone goes, that depends on what kind of paint you used. If it were oil or an enamel base, I'd use small amounts of whatever brush thinner you would normally use, and "paint" the brush thinner on to the flesh tone. If it's an acrylic, you might be able to get away with thinning it with water and kind of "scrubbing" at the paint with a wet brush. But I would also advise being quick with a paper towel or a cloth of some kind to wipe the thinned paint, if it does come off, quickly to keep it from running down to the uniform you painted. Which does look excellent.

Actually as stated already, for 1/48 the whole figure looks great! My 1/35 guys look about the same... Confused [%-)] haha so well done and good luck getting him to look like you want!

hey huxy, i suggest Vallejopaints for skin tones. They work well but you need a primer. Hope this helps.

For 1/48th scale he dosen't look that bad better than I could do 1/48th to small for figures for me bit I like the vehicals and prefer 1/35th figures bt those vehicals are to expensive

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but my skinpainting is just getting worse and worse.. while the rest of this figure came out as my best.. if I only could do the skin better... Any suggestions on how to remove the paint from the fleshareas?

And yes, the left hand came out horrible...

 







And how he will more or less be in the diorama:
