Excellent job on the paratrooper!

 ...turned out really nice. Good job on cleaning up the resin figure. I just started working with some resin too, not always easy!

    AJ is right, the transfer option for the unit and nationality markings are the best. 10 out of 10 for having a go at painting though!!

  Boomer..

#1. I've heard alot of weird things about the vacu-formed building kits. But I'd LOVE to give it a try once...

#2. Cool.

#3. Ok.

#4. Growl..... Now I see it.. haha.. but a little exposed.. Place him better!

#5. Another box? No thanks, I pass. I got too many...

And I do aswell looking forward for the tankers! But my photobucket account is exceded with bandwidt... Not open until the 9th. Bah.. Think I have to upgrade.. but it has the same price as a kit! Woo..  

#1  I'll look into the Minart building, I love their 1/16 figures, so why not?

#2   Read my mind. that's exactly what i'm gonna do.

#3  I've changed the wounded guy, so he'll either be resting on the ground, or propped against something.  Though, if i can't find something to do with him, he'll go back to being carried

#4  He's actually throwing a grenade, but he is a little exposed ain't he? lol.  he'll find somewhere where he's less likely to get shot!

#5  The thing's almost built, and the tracks are in nightmareish conditions.  I'll ship you the box if you'd like.  but only if you pay shipping

lookin forward to seeing some pictures of your german tanker!

As said, I'm awaiting more figures in the mail tomorrow..  German tankers from Tamiya. I'll take one and slap on my Panzer I. Pictures to come

Now for Dio...

#1. Get some bigger base, as said. May I suggest anything from Miniart?

#2. Have that "crouching" Nemrod American behind a wall, at the end of the wall, as he is preparing to run.

#3. Have that guy helping the wounded guy in the Verlinden set to be already partially in cover, runnning for better cover.

#4. Have the guy pointing in the Verlinden kit anywhere else than that place.

#5. Ship me the Panzer IV.

Good luck! Hope it helped!

And dio-ideas? Give us a picture of the box arts and we can help you better.  Never give up. It's a journey with no end. The learning is everything.

ain't that the truth!  Never give up huxy! you're an award winning figure painter after all! Placing is no joke my friend.  I'm still impressed by the face on your german.  I guess i should have provided pictures in the first place lol. here they are.

the kits i'm workin with.

The house that I've detailed with popsicle sticks and styrene bits

the cast of characters (minus one as he isn't built yet).  Yes, I know my painting is completely sporadic, oh well, LOL.

I would STRONGLY suggest you replace the flag and 82nd patches with Archer Fine Transfers. The US flag is nearly impossible to paint in 1/35, even by the best painters. The AA patch will look much better as a transfer as well.

If you don't want to spend anything, find them online and download them. Resize as you would clipart and print in color on white paper at the highest resolution. Attach with thinned white glue.
