I have managed to tweak the figure some more and primered him up in Tamiyas Extra Fine grey surface primer,His head was primered in a 50/50 mix of Humbrol flat flesh and white mixed with 5o percent cellulose thinner...this really bites on to the resin. I dont ever prime 35th scale and smaller heads due to the fine detail,the basecoat I use above acts as a primer and coloured base coat in one.
I have been working away on this,and managed to get some paint on to the Hetzer,Im just at the stage of adding dry mud and paint effects,rust,white wash staining etc...still lots to do though
The work to the Hetzer is nearly complete,just need to add some damp mud and grass and some snow I think... work on the figure is going slow but once I have a bit to show will post some images.
Many thanks guys,this is nearing completion now the bust is finished,took a little longer than expected but then I can never stop fiddling ?!! images to follow...
