Soviet Tank Crew Alpine 1/35

It is a set of Alpine Russian tank crew. My goal was a paint sample, but I could not do it well.

There were four heads in this set; one let him wear a tanker’s helmet with a cushion and one with a hat with a brim for an officer.

I thought that the Russian Army had khaki or green uniforms, but when I look at the paint example of Alpine, it seems there are various colors.

The wood piece at the back was sent all the wood specimens for selecting the material from the furniture factory when I ordered Kotatsu(a small table with an electric heater underneath and covered by a quilt). Because it is a beautiful piece of wood, I thought it was helpful for photography.

After painting with enamel paint, lightly dry brushing.

Both figures are excellent modeling of handgun holsters.

It’s being fixed with a small stand with glue which can be peeled off.

Although it was completed and decorated a few years ago, I painted the glove and sleeve rolls in the same color. I can’t clear the difference at all. I repainted it to a different color…

If I think I can fix the missing paint later, I proceed without worrying about the outrush of the brush. It is pretty tough, especially when painting the skin color with oil paint. It does not efficiently cover the dark color miss painting with bright oil. I began to paint it light, but it would be strange if I retouched it many times. Sometimes it looks nice with an exquisite blend, though. I thought I had to concentrate and not make mistakes as much as possible from the beginning.

I referred to the example, but the blue pants might be too vivid.

Mold is beautiful without complaint, and it is straightforward to paint. There are very few parting lines on resin figures; that is an excellent point, too. I often forget to erase the parting lines when I build injection models.

Someday I could arrange it on a shelf with two sets, so I finally made it.

Alpine figures are too excellent and noticeable when set out with tanks. I hope I can paint it well. I think it’s better to have practice with the Dragon Models figure.
