Hi from Seoul

[elph]

Hi all

Mainly a 1/35 military man, but would really like to try my hand at figure making in 1/35. I've been putting it off because of the fear factor...now it's time to have a go. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm looking for a tutorial for both modifying and creating full figures in WWII 1/35. Also, what are the basic tools that I'll need?

Look forward to posting photos one day.

Welcome to the Planet Brett. Keep your head down mate, sounds like things are getting hairy on the Korean Peninsula again.

Welcome Brett.

If you mean to sculpt or heavily convert figures, a good place to start is a good book on anatomy and Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery by Hogarth.

Don't worry about North Korea; actually nobody pays attention to them here. Even the South Koreans rarely talk about them, they are like the poor cousins. Anyway, I look forward to your responses and advice about my figure development.

Welcome aboard Brett . Do you "live" there (in Korea) or are you stationed there?

I'm not in the military, I teach English and have been "trapped" here for the last 9 years. I took up modelling because I got sick of getting drunk which is what everybody does here.
