Tamiya M10 IIC Achilles

Cheers Andy, admittedly I was using extra thin so maybe next time I will use the regular and see how it gets on. :smiling3:

I started on the figures this weekend. Heads are done, I still struggle with these but I think I'm getting better. They should look OK from a distance anyway. :tears-of-joy:

I think I will put some smoke on the drivers goggles as they came out a bit more sparkly than I intended.

I also got the bodies painted up, glossed and washed. I will give these a dry brush in a lighter shade to pick up the highlights, matt coat them and finish painting the hands and hopefully they will then be ready to join their respective heads.

You struggle I wish I could get my figures to look that good mate.

Maybe I should have given him a dayglo tunic. :tears-of-joy:

Cheers Paul, I'm slowly getting better.

Hi Bob
Figures are great. They will most certainly look the part.

Wonderful work on the heads Bob. They will be the icing on the cake of a fantastic build

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Steve.

Really well done on the figures Bob. They will compliment the build nicely.

Thanks John.

Good morning all.

I finished the figures last night, in retrospect I think I should have used a lighter wash.



Overall I'm happy with my attempt, I think they should look OK sitting in the Achilles.

I personally think they look very good, but if you wanted to dampen it down, a very thinned base colour should do it without removing the effect completely.

Morn Bob,

I think you have done a fantastic job on the crew. The faces have a nice ruddy complexion. Jack may be right about a lighter wash, but in my old eyes, they will make a perfect crew for the M10 just the way they are...

Cheers guys.

I will probably leave them, I don't want to tempt fate and balls them up at this stage. Besides once in the turret they will mostly be hidden.

Bob,
They look good to me.
