British Infantry, Italian Front Line 6 figure set. Short-pants soldiers mixed, and everyone was marching. At first glance, the mold is so good. Since the Allies invaded Italy from North Africa, they have been wearing military uniforms for tropical regions suitable for the desert.
Because the same runner was in this box by any mistake? The figure of the Dragon usually contains only four bodies, which is excellent. If you rearrange the legs of different parts, you can create six infantry with slightly different poses. It might be able to build eight soldiers instead of six, and I counted heads, arms, and legs, and it’s enough for eight members.
Dragon Models’ military figures are expensive in Japan, probably because the agency has changed. In the past, I used to make Dragon Models well, but recently the Master Box, Mini Art, and Tamiya are getting much better than before. I think it’s better to lower the price for the Japanese market.
I added hair to the resin head. I want to sharpen around the neck if possible. I had trouble connecting the neck and used Tamiya’s basic putty, epoxy putty, and super glue.
It’s all a similar pose because it’s on the march.
All rifles are not attractive, so some infantries have different weapons. However, in that case, I did not understand very well what the spare magazine cases were.
I decided to do a decent atmosphere. I attached the strap of small firearms. It looks a little better.
It was difficult to recognize the molding color and the surfacer with the same color, so I colored the surfacer a bit dark and blew it. I wonder if it was better to paint easier, blowing whitish color.
I am progressing paint little by little.
Although it says that the kit contains six infantry parts, eight can be built by replacing parts of arms and legs.
He is corporal with the Stem sub-machine gun aside.
Quite spectacular. Producing eight bodies with similar poses is quite dull. But after I sorted it like this, is it a squad?
This time painting is all aqueous acrylic paint. I don’t have a good finish. I shaded out straps and pocket seams and emphasized the mold. Ideally, it’s better to draw a fine line, but thin lines are problematic anyway. If I look at the distance of 20 – 30cm, I think it looks better than not painting shadows.
British Army North African, front line corporal, equipped with an M1928 Thompson submachine gun. At the time of the trial assembly, this machine gun was stuck in hand tightly. I forgot to re-confirm after attaching a variety of equipment, and it finally did not fit. I have decided to hold the other part of the gun. Hahahaha…
The infantry is carrying the Bren Light Machine Gun on his shoulder. There are four variations in weapons, and eight soldiers will not be so much mannered, even if they are all arranged; there is good unity and randomness.
It is noted this is the Italian front line on this box package. I always imagined North Africa during the making. This time, the skin color became a healthy soldier with a sunburn. I replaced them with a resin head. I do not have the quality of the painting; I need to practice a little more.
(25-August-2017)
I am interested in models of tanks, airplanes, ships, military figures, I build them little by little when I feel like it. I am also interested in the history of war. My starting is Tamiya’s Military Miniature series in elementary school.
From elementary school through university students repeatedly suspend and restart my modeling, it’s about 25 years of this hobby’s history.
From February 2007 I was quietly doing a site called “Miniature-Arcadia”. It is being transferred to this blog with the same name from December 2016. My update pace is uneven, but please come to see me here occasionally.
