You did a nice job on the bust. I like that you took the time for the detail in the hand.

Amazing piece of work.  I have seen many figures done, or should I say over painted with some type of orange coloring that it just didn't look natural, just ugly and overdone

I am in awe that is simply fantastic! One thing though the pour le merit around his neck should be blue with the lettering spelling Pour Le Merit. That being said though it is fantastic and miles ahead of my experience!

Now that is a great piece. Excellent work on the face and especially the hand. That put it over the top.

Next day in my lunch time I started to work the red color in the hat and uniform. Then a retouch during the night.

testing and testing fitting and how its looks the face with the hat.Visor painted with Tamiya gloss black. Pictures are great to detect error in the painting.

1/6 Baron Manfred Von Richthofen - " Red Baron"
Posted by catdude01 on Monday, March 28, 2016 12:35 PM

Hi guys! Here I share with you my first attempt with a 1/6 bust that I grab from Last Cavalry at Ipms Nationals (thanks Dave!) its the Baron Manfred Von Richthofen, or the Red Baron!

I started cleaning the figure with soap to remove all the molding grease, then after dry, a coat of tamiya thin primer was given.

From there I use Vallejo colors for the base color. A few weeks later I decided to stop ignoring it and try to paint a face!, 1 and half hour later the result. (Still missing eyebrows, eyelashes omitted by mistake. :smiley24: ) eyes are not wonderful, but for a first time I guess they are ok.
