Michael Wittmann

My first resin figure. After initial trepidation taking off the moulding blocks (?) I found they actually came off pretty easily by sawing part way through and snapping off. I like the detail on this figure.

Hunter Cummins
That figure has awesome detail, I will be following this

Very slow progress so far. Next I will start on the leather jacket. I have a small dilemna. The boxart shows Wittman with black belt and gloves, but I'm inclined to paint them brown to stand out better.

Hunter Cummins
Hey, he could have another pair of gloves lol! Go for it

Kevin A
Heh, you're right. Jacket is looking good so far (using NATO Black) it looks a much different colour from the trousers. I think a nice pair of brown leather gloves will set it off nicely.

Hunter Cummins
Agreed!!! Color variation is the key to a good model (that goes for any subject)

Project is scrapped. I need to look again what glue I use for resin figures. I used superglue but his head kept falling off. The last straw was when I dropped him and broke the jacket lapel off. On to the next one.....!

Hunter Cummins
You need to use 5 minute epoxy resin

Kevin A
Thanks. That's what I will use on my next resin figure.

Hunter Cummins
Use metal wire to help with strength aswell
