U.S. ARMY BAR GUNNER WW1 (VERLINDEN.120mm)

[unknown01]

Thank you very much. (last stage)

Thank you very much for your kind comment, Marcel.
It's completion almost.

Facial completion painting was performed.
I used oil paints.
I applied highlights and made them blend those after a shade was applied.
A hand was also applied in the same way.
Next I made and applied sling of a gun.
A ground work was painted at the end.
I used VALLEJO - COLOR at the same time.

The rest, WEATHERING, plan.

Hi Mitsutaka,

I hope to see the final photos of this figure soon. You're doing a fantastic job at bringing this figure to life.

I know it might be too late to fix it, but have you considered resculpting and then repainting the left eye? It is the only part of this figure that doesn't look perfect.

Thank you very much my freind.

Hi! Tony.
Thank you very much for your kind advice.
It'll be corrected a little more about an eye.
(However there are no confidences for me.)
the rest is only weathering, so I'm thinking a complete picture can be contributed immediately.

thank you very much, theseeker.

Thank you very much for your warm comment, theseeker.
I just made it facial completion painting before using acrylic.
It has been completed by oil paints now.

Mitsutaka, you are doing great and keep this high standard up.

I do not agree with this (although I normally take Tony's advice in the highest respect), the eyes being slightly different give this figure a lot of character. I would keep it like this.

Groeten from, Willem

Completion of figure.

I have completed a figure.
A picture of completion is contributed.
I'm completing basic painting by acrylic and am painting by oil paints.
It's made painting of a ground work now using VALLEJO - COLOR.
Before entering painting this time, foundation by oil paints was made.
However I have not decided whether I also do that from the next.
When it's a big figure, it may be effective.
However I think then 54mm isn't made.
All comments welcome.

Thank you very much, WPS.

Thank you very much for your kind comment, WPS.
It's corrected as much as possible from that about an eye, rest.
In case of me, this is the limit.
When choosing a figure this time, I felt important to choose something good of a sculpture of eye.

 

[unknown01]

Thank you very much, theseeker.

Thank you for liking it, theseeker.
A big figure was made this time, so it's expected to make 54mm figure next time.
It's probably a schedule of a new product of JMD.

Congratulations Mitsutaka,

You have completed this large figure in record time and to a very high standard, as always.

Your display cabinet must be very full by now.

 

[unknown01]

Thank you very much my freind.

Hi! Tony.
Thank you very much for a word of a blessings!
It completed fast as you said.
I bought a wooden glass showcase at about 200 dollars before about 4 years.
This is quite big, and about 500 figures can be stored.
However the case when I give finished goods of a figure to my Japanese friend is most.
Space of the showcase is still quite uncrowded.

Well done!

Mitsutaka san,
your efforts at repainting the eye are successful.

His eyes are better matched now, and the 'droop' over his left eye looks more natural. Not everyone is handsome. You did a good job on correction.
To take the effort to correct is very good. Totemo Iidesu.

Giving painted figures as gifts to friends feels very good, doesn't it!?

Well done,
and thanks for sharing

cheers

Thank you very much, Janus.

Hello! Janus.
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
I'm going to have corrected more fairly than the front about an eye.
When omitting brilliance and a pupil, the painting of an eye is easy.
I use to paint brilliance, a pupil and catch light by more than 90 mm figure.
(I often fail.)
Yes、a figure are sent to my friend, I am glad.
When the person who heard that requests a figure, I can be my friend with the person, too.
