JHockett 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2009 Just getting started on this one. 54mm Latorre figure. The face is mostly complete and shading is started on the jacket. The highlights on the jacket are not as harsh on reality as they look in the pics. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dreamsof51 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2009 I've tried this type of model other than pilot figures in aircraft. Looks good so far. Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JHockett 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2009 Thanks for the kind comments. Mike, I have to disagree a little. I find the hose to be more of a pain than the kilt. The pleats in the back of the kilt can hide a multitude of sins, but the hose are generally visible all the way around, so everthing has to line up correctly.

Yu have a great start on a fine looking figure. Someone suggested using plaid paint but I couldn't find it anywhere. Jack Kennedy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JHockett 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2009 A little update. Got out the tartan paint and started the kilt. Still have a little touch-up on the lines. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dick Montgomery 125 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 Ok...I'm a rookie when it comes to figs. What do you prime it with if it is Plastic? Metal? Resin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JHockett 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 Ok...I'm a rookie when it comes to figs. What do you prime it with if it is Plastic? Metal? Resin? My answer to all of the above would be Tamiya Fine Surface Primer. Goes on really well, covers good, provides excellent adhesion for paint, and doesn't obscure detail.
