The mornings and evenings are getting cooler and easier to live in. The humidity is getting low, and I feel the paint is drying well. I have quite a few female soldier figures, too. Some are fantasy-like; some say she wouldn’t dress like this. The one I made this time was a female soldier in WWII of the Russian Army so I heard that there were relatively many female soldiers in the Russian Army, so I think it is a realistic category. German soldiers used to replace the heads of their Dragon kit with resin.
She is a female Russian tank crew. Was it Taisho Modeling? I’m sure there was a figure somewhere with a camisole look similar in pose, but I bought it so long ago that I couldn’t find it. I will look for it again. The WWII Soviet uniform colors are difficult, but I believe in Vallejyo and painted it.
It’s a German soldier with an anti-tank weapon in a Dragon kit. He is wearing warm clothes. This type of head with a field cap makes it difficult to photograph the face. A hat without a brim or a small brim takes good shots, though.
This one, too, used a Dragon German soldier, a helmet head fitted with a camouflage cover. A camouflage parka for fall and winter and a camouflage helmet for spring and summer were said to have been confused at the end of the war. I like natural poses like this.
This is a Russian military female sniper from Life Miniature. This mold is perfect. She’s a beautiful woman with a beautiful face, and my painting skills can’t keep up. She has such a beautiful face, but having so much makeup during a military mission is unnatural. I thought a firm face would be better because it’s a sniper, so I painted it with that in mind, but what do you think? Speaking of snipers, I was playing on an old FPS called the Sniper Elite V2 the other day, and even though I’m not good at FPS, I played hard until I got all the achievements except for mulch. It was interesting because of the achievement of punching out Hitler’s egg balls.
