Hi there!
Here we are back again to my favorite scale 1:32 !
Along with some Britains figures I've bought some time a go I receive these two little fellows that has been primed (badly) without cut mould lines and with some damaged or broken parts.
These was a figure of "Greek Hoplite" (made in Hong Kong and little bigger than 1;32 scale as it is about 60mm without base!) that has missing helmet's top and some dirt stocked in several places , and a "Union Infantry " figure from American Civil War , Britains Deetail series made in England at 1971.
As I wrote in previous posts a have a "sentimental touch" about damaged or unbranded figures that need to regain their lives in this world ....somehow....
So this is another project of "Resurrecting figures" series :) Here you can see what their state was
when I opened the box.

And now here it is the first resurrection... Ta daaa!!
These figures have very little sculpting detail or detail depth so I chosen a , more simple painting or highlighting. You can see that, in the shields detail (the rooster) witch I tried to make as realistic and 3d I could .
Here , some more pictures during the transformation and some in dark background that I like!
The second figure is at my table now and needs some work to do .Here it is so far...
So , that's all for now... 'till next time..
Keep Up The Brushes!!!
Love it, you've brought them back to life! Very well done 👍
ReplyDeleteThank you Russ!!
DeleteSuperb, very nice job!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much sir!!
DeleteThese are very impressive transformations! Both figures turned out splendidly. The Greek really shows off your talent with skin tones.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Jonathan! Unfortunatelly, now that I've seen the
Deletepictures again I se that the varnish I've used has "kill" some of the
highlights specially on the cape...I have already ordered a new matt
varnish..:)
regards, George.
Fantastic work as always!

ReplyDeleteI'm Very happy to hear from you sir! Thank you and, Welcome back!!

ReplyDeleteThank you Dean! Glad you like it:)
DeleteWait for the next one ;)
immer wieder klasse
ReplyDeleteDanke Guido!
DeleteAwesome repaint. I have some unpainted Britains Deetail British Officers and some separate bases.
ReplyDeleteHow do you get the figures onto the bases without breaking the lugs ? Is there a special trick ?
Regs,
SB
Thanks SB and welcome to my world!
DeleteYou place the first leg in the hole and
Then very carefully bent the other one
until it takes the right ancle to get
in. Keep the figure from the leg and not
bent the lug itself. Hope that helps!
Regards, George.
