Nice work. I built a load of Tamiya 1/35th German Military models during the 70's and 80's. Can't anymore, sadly. Failing eyes and arthritic hands ended my modelling hobby. I do miss it though. it was always so very relaxing/therapeutic.

@josephhradil86 22 дня назад

I’m getting worse myself. Results aren’t as good but it’s the process I still enjoy.

@brokeandtired 21 день назад

From the poses of the figures its clear they referenced stock war photos. They are correctly posed as they would be in real life.

Do u use super glue to glue the soldiers to the jig and dose it leave any glue behind

@brianfoley3925 7 часов назад

I'm with you there...I forget who said it but "getting old isn't for sissies". I'm blind in my dominant eye, I have tremors in my hands and I have the attention span of a three-year-old. I have to build large scale because 1/350th ships and 1/35 figures are just too small. I have all the tools any modeler could ask for but nothing replaces the Mk.I human. This guy is really impressive.

@pmatzl Месяц назад

I finished up a Dragon MG team not two days before your video announcing this kit. The Dragon kit was both a great bargain (on the "sale" table at my local hobby shop) and a chore to assemble, with soft details, some out-of-scale equipment, and 1980s tooling quality. Nowhere close to the quality of this Tamiya kit. I need to build one of these to restore my enthusiasm for 1:35 figures.

@SpruesNBrews Месяц назад

They’re pretty phenomenal - I’m sure they’ll make for a great palette-cleanser!

@riff2072 Месяц назад

Nicley done. Sometimes you can substitute Tamyia NATO Black XF69 instead flat black for the belt and/or some of the equipment. It makes a bit of a faded-out look and a contrast between items.

Just goes to show for that there are infinite ways to paint a great looking miniature. Probably will never see it, but would love to see plastics of this scale and quality in other historical periods; Greeks, Romans, Medieval, Napoleonic’s, Civil War, etc. Traditionally I’ve painted 28mm, and today’s plastics have never looked better, but l don’t game, so 1/35 scale with all that extra detail would be absolutely amazing.

@SpruesNBrews Месяц назад

I've found that sometimes the enamel products can react poorly with Pledge... it's been a little bit since I've tried it, I'll admit, but just proceed carefully. Perhaps do a test on an old figure first? Good luck & happy painting!
