Post by jhamm »

Hi,
received a shipment from Forgebear today .
British Normandy 1:16 Scale RC Tank Commander Captain Resin Kit Figure
British Normandy 1:16 Scale RC Tank Driver Resin Kit Figure

These are my first resin figures which I painted myself.
I hope the result is ok...

What!? You received the figures and painted them in one day with results that good!? :O It takes me weeks to paint one figure. I surrender!

Was!? Die Figuren sind doch Heute angekommen und Sie haben die in nur einen Tag so gut angemalt? :O Wie ist es möglich? Ich male Figuren ein Paar Wochen lang. Ich ergebe mich.

Mighty fine job. You’ve captured that innocent youthful British skin tone perfectly.

Herr Dr. Professor:
It is always better not too long to think about something you are doing

The first thought is always the right ...

Mr. Jimster:
Thank you.
But it has been possible only with the flesh and skin color set.
On the back of the packaging is a very good description....


A question:
Which color do the knobs have on the driver's jacket?

82 views and nobody knows the answer? :(
I have now done this as follows:
