Vitor CostaVitor Costa Hello mates
After the aircrafts and AFV's i decided to try the figures!!!!
Well this was the boggy man of the hobby how to represent an human expression/face in a convincing way, something that would look "realistic" was a very "scary" thing? something that i never believe i could do, so for many years i kept away from it, admiring the works from other fellow modellers.
Now with the AFVs the idea of making dioramas or vignettes come, but and the figures??? Never painted none before so after some time watching videos on the net i asked friend if he knew any good book, he recommended one but not my "style" so i went to bed and yesterday i woke up and i said to myself I'm going to try it!!!
So i went to the workbench, i grab one 1/35 figure (i have some from my 20 years ago AFV's experience in that time i didn+t paint them i used to put some paint on it 😄 😄) that look a little better than the others and i made this! 1 hour more or less and i did it! My first human face (i have painted another one yesterday, i don't know why but i couldn't sleep so i went to the workbench at 2 am and about 3 am i had another one done, i will put pictures when i take them).
Im satisfied with the final result much more being the first, loots of stuff to learn and practice but i hope i can improve it the skills a little bit more.
Well here it is (by the way i don't know when I'm going to guild another aircraft 😄 😄 😄 😄)
Best regards

Christian BruerHi Vitor, that looks good to my eyes! Nice result! Figure painting isn't easy, I tried that also for some time. Which colors did you used on this? Cheers, Christian

Barry LloydExcellent - perhaps we can all send our figures to you, to bring them to life!

I used vallejo colours (4 of them, white? base flesh, light flesh? and a red one) as you i was surprised too i didn't know that i could do something like that?
Aghis, well not the first if you consider the ones i blurred 25 years ago? by the way i painted another one?
