Started some of these at Model Club night and thought I would do a few more this afternoon... There will be quite a few from 6 different kits for the diorama... These 5 are from the MiniArt Soviet Assault Infantry kit.   |

These next two figures are by Stalingrad and are resin. Only superglue works on resin but the detail is amazing!!!  |

Then we add the ICM figures, not so crisp in detail but will do their part.   |

Some small gaps but nothing too troubling... I wont be using a camera scene though, he will have a set of binoculars as he is pointing across the way towards the enemy troops to his men...

Well sculpted/fitting figgies saves so much time on the assemblies and painting, as I am sure you have found out.  I spent countless hours carving, trimming flash, and reposing hands heads and arms to get a more natural pose on older figgies from Tamiya, ESCI, Dragon, Italeri, etc. |

And then there were two more... of course I see Kallie added a hair on the back of the general I will have to remove, lol!!!   Then there were 15 figures:  3 more seated figures left to build for inside the Aerosans... |

Just ordered some acrylic colors and some pigments for the first time from AMMO by MIG JIMENEZ for the figures and will see how that goes... I usually use enamels and give some depth with oils over the top but this looked interesting so thought I would take the plunge and at least I will know if I want to pursue them any further or stick with the smelly stuff! I'll let you know how it goes when I get there, lol!!!  |
