Figure painting ... a work in progress 4 new pictures
Hi guys : )
This is my humble first real attempt at paintinig a figure. He is a 120 mm
Sherman commander that came with the kit I built a couple of years ago.
He is pretty good, but not the quality of moulding you would find in a nice resin figure.
I also looked up what clothes he had on to make sure they were correct and they are.
He is painted completely in Model Master and Vallejo acrylics. Both are excellent and can be mixed with each other to tint to taste.
He is a W.I.P. ... A testbed of sorts so nothing is written in stone. I have all ready stripped him twice with brake fluid . I may strip him again... I don't know yet.... I just wanted to share what I've been trying to do lately.
The inside of the commanders hatch has to be detailed ; I am working on building the periscope,periscope mount and locking mechanisms also.
This will probably be the last thing I work on for a while as I am expecting a third hand surgery to replace at least one metacarpal knuckle soon.
So for better or worse here are some pictures.
thanks for looking,
tread
p.s. he is supposed to look like he has about 1 days growth on his beard... don't know how well that shows up
