New Monthly Figure Column in Fine Scale

Joe, I model mainly construction , agricultural and comercial vehicles and tend to place them in dioramas. That means modern civilian figures usually as drivers and equipment operators. most of my figures only get a basic paint job. But I`m alwas trying to glean info from any source.  70mm figures may prove to be feed stock for future drivers.

Thanks

I am so excited thats going to be added, fegurie is that one area that seems to draw people into every direction. So i do have one, i recently got 35 scale civil war feguires there plastic is not the same as say tamiya ones?. Everyting are premolded, everything on them. What kind of paint would you recommend?, its the ones. That each feguire comes with there own bases. 

It is good to see coverage of figures.  I enjoyed you article. I build a lot of 1/25th scale dioramas. there is not much to choose from in the way of figures and most need to undergo orthopedic surgery to be of any use. It would be nice to see some coverage of 1/24 & 1/25th scale figures as well as all the others.

Thanks

Carl

I enjoyed the first two article. I build a lot of 35th diorama's and have always struggled with figures, and i have recently gotten into larger scale busts. Any help and advice is most welcome. I'll be looking forward to your next article.

No reason why you can't use both, actually. I use enamels mainly for blocking, but I blend acrylics for smoother transitions. Layering or wet method, there is a lot to discuss here.

Looking forward to lending my knowlege to this new addition!

Lots to learn and teach!  From figure assembly, blocking, detail painting, washes, etc. The list is extensive. This will be a welcome addition to my time here at FSM! :D

I read the article, Joe, and found it to be very informative. I will be looking forward to this now in every issue. I haven’t painted many figures, but, in the future I will be using more figures in Diorama’s.

I do have one question, from what I have read, most figures are painted with acrylics. Are acrylics better to paint figures, or are enamels a good choice too?
