That second to last pics is so realistic that if you hadn't told me it was a painted model I would have thought it was a photograph. You are a genius.

Thanks Wibbly Wobbly. It helps if you have a good model to start with. Those two tank riders are some of the best for facial detail. I think they do a nice Wittmann style model also. Quite a few in their range.
If only I could do what you do with Elmods. Managed to blow one up already although RCtanks.de were able to get it repaired for me. I am venturing into 1/6 scale next. Picking up an Armortek Late Tiger 1 with all options. Got it second hand but untouched in original boxes. That should be an interesting build and lots of electronics for me to mess up with gun powder thrown in just to make my life even more complicated. Thanks for all the help with electronics.

nice post, i'm going to paint two figures today

great tutorial , hate doing crew. lol tried mine on the KT the other day and looks crap. still looks ok from a distance, i.e the other side of the room. lol

That is a really helpful piece. I am only a beginner and figure faces were a complete mystery to me. Thank you for sharing this great information

Glad you found it useful

Good Morning,
This is the thread I always refer back to when it comes time to add a Tank Commander. Instead of the Pre-Painted Zombie Mutants that come with the Tank from the factory, a little care ( and a big magnifying glass! ) produces a usable figure. Thank again, John!
regards,
Painless Wolf

Great! Thanks for the tips, mine will never look this good though!

Ad Lav.
We always think everyone else can paint much better faces than we do.
And they are usually right, of course.

You haven't seen my attempt yet lol
