Guys,

I'd like to show you a 120mm figure I painted lately, painted in acrylics.

Comments and critics are welcome! Thanks for looking!
Denes

very nice figure !

Very nice Denes.

Is this a Kirin kit??

Cheers

Thanks for the quick replies, guys!
Tony, it is one of the very first examples of a Jeff Shiu Miniatures kit, slightly based on the famous Kirin's 200mm figure, but it's 120mm, more here: http://www.jeffshiu.net46.net .

Wow

Gidday,

l love it, it looks awsome, is this figure still availiable on the market and if so where might one be able to get one of these.
Top job, love the painting.
Cheers Andrew

Hy Dénes,

good to see that you have finished this nice figure. I think your paintjob make a good advert for the producer

Congratulations!

Hello

Fantastic Figure you have done.
I like particularly the camouflage of the helmet.

Cheers

Excellent paintwork of this figure Denes, I like the addition of snow on the jacket.

I like the trousers a lot. They really represent the dirty worn look that they used to have.

Cheers

Thank you for your comments, I really appreciate it!

Adnrew, you can order directly from here: http://www.jeffshiu.net46.net

Thanks again

Denes, cool kit and nice paint up. I seem to recall seeing Jeff as a big seller in Hong Kong of old Kirin kits on ebay in the past. Appears to be nice kit.

There is a person that has re-cast the Kirin figures in resin and they are outstanding to say the least. I have purchased two of the figures and they could be Jeff's. I have know way of knowing but these are incredible figures with optional heads and weapons. The MG's alone are a work of art not to mention the ammo belts.
I may have to send one to Guy for a review.
LMK if any one i interested.

Not my favorit period, but i do like the painting on that nice figure.
Great painted figure.

Marc

This Historical period is not my cup of tea, but the figure is beautifully painted.
Thanks for sharing.

Cheers

Gents,

thanks for the positive feedback!

Rocky - those figures don't have 2 heads originaly, a guy from California selling those with a Warrior 'partisan hunter' bust head and an extra MG34, the pose is similar though.

Which guy from California?

Rob, here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280226042310, the description says 'the pictured kit is the seller's personal item', however this figure is by Calvin Tan, he has it on his website. Sold about a dozen by now, there is a guy in his feedback who protested (feedback on Mar-31-08 23:24)

Okay, I have had dealings with this ebay seller. I traded for one of the "unproduced" Kirin kits, the 1/9 kit that was reported to have been sculpted for the new line of DML figure kits/motorcycle kits with figures.

It is a nice kit. He has sold them on a regular basis for several years, as I bought mine probably 3 years ago. Not sure but I seem to recall he had something to do with Kirin in the old days (but I might be wrong). He is also associated to some degree with the Replay sports toys and the Dusty Trail toys that were out a few years ago.

Hey, that's an interesting figure! Saw it before, but never thougth that was for Kirin. Thanks!

It is a Rosengrant sculpt if I am not mistaken ( that is what the seller told me). Looks very much like one also.
