Jim, up in New York, has one of these on the bench also...I believe his is most of the way finished. Not sure if it was a Tamiya kit or not.
Almost guaranteed to be. ISTR that there was one in resin too, once upon a time, but that kit was probably discontinued very soon after Tamiya announced their version over twenty years ago.

It took me the best of two hours to get just the left side done. Always advisable to take it a step at a time and come back another day for the next run of railing.:smiling2:

Cheers,
Richard

With the completion of the last two Rooskies I now have a sufficient number of hitch hikers for the Russian Tank GB. I did darken the skin areas with a second coat of flesh wash.....seemed to help with the details a bit more......next time you see these guys will be in the completed armor section on the back of an SU100.P1012055.JPGP1012056.JPG

Love it Rick, thought they could be grenade fishing and looking to what's been stunned :smiling3::smiling3: ! Joking apart think the definition with the uniforms and kit is great, can't be easy in that scale.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

Thank you Tim.....I think I'm beginning to get a handle on this fig. painting thing and I really appreciate the way you took time to walk me through it with your tutorial during the Renault U23 build. Just figuring out that wet pallet kit was a challenge. Tip 'O the Hat to you! :thumb2: Rick H.

Hi JR......never thought of that! The "boys" do look a little hungry don't they? You are right....not easy but I'm beginning to enjoy it more and that's a good thing.......I must have close to 500 figs. in various Services to build and paint up so I need to be enjoying myself while doing it. Now that I think about it, the real PITA is building them.....most of them come in 4 or 5 pieces and require careful scraping of the "seam lines".......that's where Tim's suggestion of a black wash after priming to bring out "definition helps a lot....then I can actually see the little buggers! Thanks for stopping by. :thumb2: Rick H.

No probs Rick. The wet palette is a bit of a game changer isn’t it….and the liquid talent that is flesh wash makes things so much easier in the small scales. The secret is to actually use quite a lot and just blob it on. If you do the flesh first it is then easy to cut it back to size with the subsequent clothing paints.
