Thanks Bryan. I know is blasphemy for the modelling community but I don't normally build anything to a specific time or place.
Further updates. The cabin is finished and primer is applied. Base has been stained and the primer coat on the figures.

Re: Dragon Sd. kfz. 250/8
Thanks Vincent and Steve.
I started painting the figures today. Like the rest of my modelling I have to try to mind some kind of happy medium. I have to face the reality that I will not ever be able to produce some of the results like many of the great figure painters out there.
For the most part I have been happy with the results I have been able to obtain but there has been a cost.
First and foremost I spend way to much time paining figures. Secondly because of the time and effort I put into my figures, its had to get motivated to paint them. Hence why I need to find a happy medium. So this time around I will still spend some time painting them but not near as much. I have already painted the faces and this time I left out the eye detail. I will still add highlights and shadows to everything but I really would like to speed up the process.
Wish me luck.

Okay, I spent about 3 to 3.5hrs painting this figure today. Overall I'm very happy. There is some more things that I would like to try to improve especially the face, but I'm going to leave it as is.

Re: Dragon Sd. kfz. 250/8
That is really good for 3.5hrs Shawn, it would take me that long to do the face alone, and even then it would end up looking like the walking dead!

I am having to use my hobby desk for work from home, which has killed all motivation to build or paint.
Good start with your figure, hopefully you can hang onto the motivation to get the figures completed
Do you have an August Bank Holiday in the USA?

Re: Dragon Sd. kfz. 250/8
Thanks Adam. I completely understand. In the past I have spent much longer just to try to get it as good as possible. Im trying to shorten that up this time around.Adam Durrant wrote: ↑28 Aug 2020, 01:38 That is really good for 3.5hrs Shawn, it would take me that long to do the face alone, and even then it would end up looking like the walking dead!
Hopefully your motivation will return Steve. I will get these figures done one way or another. progress has slowed a bit.

Re: Dragon Sd. kfz. 250/8
I have about finished the first figure and I thought I took a picture but a did not. This one will have to do.
Dark brown dots were painted using Vallejo 822. I added a few light brown spots with 872.
I got started on the second figure. Same paints for the brown dots and the orange dots were 981 mixed with alittle 872.
