Hi
John, yes sometimes a well produced kit can increase the enthusiasm a little. Good thing you had some good closeup shots of the construction so less of an eye ache that I already have from my build.
Cheers,
Richard
I think your right Richard, at least no plastic tracks made it easier.
Been painting the first group of figures, the Russian infantry and an officer. This time I left the arms off until I have all the webbing and belts painted as I always get paint everywhere.
Also using very thinned coats to build up the colour so as not to obliterate the detail. Of course this takes much longer as you have to wait for each coat to dry, but it seems to be working.
Sorry not the best photos, but you might be able to see what I mean.
The colours picked are from some research, but whatever you pick someone will say its wrong. I have several print outs of colours for uniforms and each one has something slightly different. Light Khaki, dark , mid the same applies to Russian green for the green webbing.
Comments and advice from the figure painters welcome.
John.
