Here is the last of the 442nd figure for the scene. I had a 5th figure- a Dragon figure in an overcoat- almost finished. However, I think I'm gonna lose him... the soft-detail sculpt of the Dragon styrene figure just ain't doin' it for me, standing next to the resin figures. I really wanted that overcoat in the scene, tho. I do have a Mantis Ardennes figure in an overcoat coming to me, from a Russian distributor, and a Hornet Asian head painted and ready, but I think I'm just gonna move on.
The folds in his right forearm sleeve bug me, so I'll throw that out there first. Yes, I'm the one who added the folds. Can't really remember why I did it... must have been an ugly Warrior seam.
Crap, I hate that sleeve:
Here he is with the B.A.R. gunner; they'll be covering the entryway of the bombed out structure:
And finally, all 4 figures:
4 styles of US combat boots in as many figures! COOL!
Some of the color tones are lighter that I would normally go. On this project, I have made the concerted effort to try and "brighten up" my figures a bit. The tones can look OK under Optivisors, and you can always lighten them up in an image. Yet, when they sit in real life, mine always appear too dark. I want them to "pop" a bit more than they usually do.
Anyways, thanks for looking. Feel free to leave comments, critique, it's all good. They ain't sealed up yet.
