I joined a junior modeling club about a year and a half ago, and since then, have been dabbling more and more with figs. My first serious fig (not some crap bang-up job on an extra tamiya dude) was a 200mm Erich Hartmann bust that got 1st in Junior figs, 09 IPMS nationals. Some may have remember me posting it forever ago. (I have not been around for soooooooo long...) In march, I tried my hand at sculpting my own figure, and the product is the bust.
The paint and sculpt is a bit crude, I have since improved both techniques but I am rather happy with it for a first attempt. Then I had this 30mm roman guy from andrea. Not too bad either.
Lastly, this was going to be at phoenix for IPMS nats, but our leader who was going to enter it in proxy was really busy. The base is rather rushed, and I simply used a wash instead of shading techniques to pop out the wrinkles. But without further talk... 120mm Tamiya fig....
Can I have comments and advice from you more experienced fig painters? And I apologize for the pics, the camera is good, but my skills with lighting my subject is not. It kinda washed out the shading I did on the Afrika Korp's guy's face. I also should have gotten a few side shots... dang. Oh well, may get some more later.
