My first figure
I said I wasn't going to do a figure for the Scout Car build but I felt I just had to finish it.
Anyway, I watched a few videos and read a few articles before I was ready to start. I used Vallejo acrylics and after much trial and error, this is what I ended up with. I'm reasonably happy with it. The close-ups don't do it any justice unfortunately. Boy, painting figures is really different from painting vehicles isn't it
Check out the Gallery to see him in the Scout Car Diorama.
Cheers,
Vincent

Re: My first figure
That's pretty damn good for a first effort Vincent, I hope I'm half as successful

Re: My first figure
That is freaky! Am I seeing the horizontal lines of a 3D printer?

Re: My first figure
Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words.
John, it is a 3D figure produced by ReedOak. I bought it when I was in the middle of the Scout Car build, many months ago. Unfortunately, I wasn't comfortable trying to get rid of the horizontal lines so I just jumped in to the painting part. Perhaps a better primer would do the trick next time?

Vincent

Re: My first figure
First off Vincent that is some really impressive figure painting for it to be your first figure.John Everett wrote:That is freaky! Am I seeing the horizontal lines of a 3D printer?
I have not bought any 3D figures yet but I have considered buying some from this same company. I am a little concerned now seeing those horizontal lines. Is that a come occurrence for 3D figures? Looks like it would require alot of clean up.
