Wow! Impressive! Which colors did you use for the uniform? I'm going to paint a similar sibject and I doubt if japanese uniform from Vallejo could do the job or not!
Thanks!

 

[rafaelega]

I used Vallejo and Lifecolor but the uniform was mainly painted with Lifecolor US uniform kit.

 

[fermatgom]

Thanks! I will have a look at them although lifecolor are not quite popular in spain.

Looks great Rafael! Nice bit of creativity on the LIFE magazine and the decoration/paint on the inside wall.

Very good work.
In my opinion you better scaled down a frontpage from LIFE as decoration. That will look better then your painted version.

A while ago I said it's a rare thing for a model to be truly part of a scene.
Usually the model is looking at the action or about to be in action.

This model figure truly Is the scene. It's wonderful composition too, t
he window focusses attention, and frames the view.

Although a static model, and it's a rare moment of stillness, the weapon and he are ready.

Most modellers stand weapons agains the wall, (WRONG), in a scene like this.
On every level well done

I agree with everything above and Pauls observations are spot on.
Nice to see a more vibrant version than usual, very well considered and executed
