KV-2 crew, opinion on figures
Posted by T-rex on Friday, December 26, 2008 11:38 PM

Just want to know what you think of these figures since this would be the best place to ask. I'm not much into them but there has to be some humain element in a dio or with a armor.

Overall view.

Tank commander, added a cigarette later.

 

Loader coming out to see, the other one is still inside.

 

And the driver also wants to see, he is standing on his seat.

 

I'm still practising on figuresm, infact these are the first to be detail and wash, I just want some advise. thanks!

I think the figures look great, especially since they're your first to do a wash on. You might want to do a slight dry brushing over them for some highlights/ a crackled look (maybe a dark brownish-grey) but they look good with the tank maybe open that top hatch all they way (if its not glued down.) Nice build.

It's hard to tell much of anything about the figures. Your lighting source is coming form behind them, placing what you see of them in shadow. Have the light shine on the faces.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

You might want to put a matt coat on the figures. They look a little shiny. (Be sure to dust them down with a pait brush or something, you don't want dust sealed on them Smile [:)])

I did added a gloss on the cheks, forehead, bridge of the nose and chin, but it does show much, and I forgot to add a light coat of buff to make them look dirty. But I'm really glad of the wash, makes the highlight, details and eye really show up, and I don't eye on 1/35 figures.

Thanks.
