Eyes are definitely very difficult. I think most of us could do with some pointers.

Not much call for that in 1-87 scale....thankfully!

Really nice progress on this Richard..........Bet those guys were sweating while you were drilling out the pant legs on their shorts!!:tongue-out3::tongue-out2::smiling5: Rick H.

Not really that difficult depending on how much detail you want like reflections, highlights but in that scale it's near impossible for me. The idea is to mask over the painted eye with the eyelids using the previous flesh tones around the eye.

Thanks Rick...in any scale smaller its crazy to attempt. I can feel their quivering as I near the family assets. :smiling5:

Thanks John...much like riding a bicycle, you pick up what you remember as you go along.

Cheers,
Richard

Here are the figures that I have drilled out the pants and sleeves. I have smoothen it with Mr Orange Cement. No point peaking as I didn't drill deep enough. :smiling6:

This figure had some work on the collar and shoulder tabs...

This one had sleeves done


Cheers,
Richard

[Tim Marlow]

Lovely work Richard, and very necessary at that scale I think.

[Caustik Filth]

Great stuff with the drilling sleeves etc that is something I must definitely try to detail my figures . Got to blag that straight away
Nice one, Richard cheers ! loving the vegetation too by the way

Thank you gentlemen,

With the extra putty I had left over I scratched a scarf around the exposed neck and made the flowing end with foil with snipped ends for tassle. The other extra putty went into the other figures neck joint and extensions to his shorts...sorry but I couldn't take the short shorts as he was looking a little poofish. :smiling6:


Cheers,
Richard

[rtfoe]

Now with the added length to his shorts he's looking like Hitler in lederhosen. :smiling5::smiling6:

Cheers,
Richard

[Graeme C.]

The shorts look much better Richard!

[Jim R]

The shorts do look better a bit longer.

[scottie3158]

Some excellent tweaking Richard.

[JR]

All ways admire you figure alterations Richard, and very helpful as well when trying .
