This is a new piece that I started the other day while needing a break from my other builds. Its a 1/35 US Navy SEAL, #35007, from (now debunked ... I think) THINK180 Studios and sculpted by Jeff Meckley. The package says US Navy SEAL #1, which makes me think that they had more figures in mind. After starting this one up, I find myself wishing they had produced more. I got this kit from a model show that I went to here in Houston a few months back. I think I paid $10 for it. Not bad at all.
Cast in white resin, the figure was pretty clean right out of the package. Not too much to clean up. Although the white resin did make the figure a little hard to see. Priming the figure before painting made all the difference. In putting the figure together, I used my normal pin/ wire-in-joint maethod.
And b/c this is just one, stand along figure, there's really not too much else to say about this one. I got the flesh started and completed this morning. I'll be starting in on the uniform this afternoon (as I'm painting my MH-6 pilots at the same time.)
Base coat of flesh...
Dark washes of burnt sienna ...
Some blending w/ warm flesh tone ...
And lastly, highlights added ....
This will be one of, hopefully, 4-5 pieces that I plan on taking to a show next month. I plan on placing this one on a small wooden base, using a Navy SEAL challenge coin as a "name plate".
As always, any C&C welcome. Thanks for checking this one out.
**Edit ... GOOD LORD, these pictures make the paint job look horrible!!!
