Hello everyone.
It is a figure of Alpine Miniatures completed in December 2016.
Now I like swords more than guns, but when I was a child I made plenty of Tamiya,s plastic soldiers.This work (if my memory is correct) is a WW 2 subject completed for the first time in 29 years.
The head has been replaced with ones I made.It painted with acrylic.
It is difficult for me to objectively view own works. So I always welcome criticism and advice.

Fantastic work! Congrats!!!

Thank you T50, I am very honored and happy . Figure that you make is a special one.

1/35th with eyes that good, you're kidding!!!
Amazing work, very well done indeed.

Holy crap !

That is so much more than good !

Thank you Roger, I am keen to paint high resolution.

Thank you Paul, I always hope to make a better work than the past work.

Absolutely fantastic work

This is insane! What a nice piece of paintwork!! You use a microscope for this?

Very, very, very nice!

Erik

Excellent. That face!

I misread the title and thought this was 1/16th until I read Roger's comment......that is outstanding in 1/35th!

Excellent work.


Cheer's,
Jeff.

It's ok Jeff, I went back and checked the title twice in case I'd misread it.

Another micro surgeon whose hobby is painting miniatures.....Show off.........Seriously?.............Terrific work

Beautiful work Futoshi & kinda style I really like.
There's an authentic feel in all aspects of this wee fellow.
Especially like detail you've captured from eyes through to grimy effect on jacket.
Also looks like you attention to detail is spot on with for example webbing having different weathering pattern to jacket.

Do you only use acrylics & if so which ones?

Please share more.
Mike

P.S. Your photos really help show this guy off too - what's your camera?

Now this friends is pretty damn good !

Joe

Fantastic work.

The sculpt of the head and then the paint job on it is amazing!!!
Lovely work

Stunning work on this. The detail and overall painting are excellent. I thought this was a 1:9th scale kit at first. Very impressive!

Microscope or not what I would really like to learn is how you get such perfectly shaped small dots, like in the eye, and lines, like in the seams of the uniform.
With details like this in my experience the paint dries on the brush before it can be applied. Would really like to know how you get these bits so perfectly.

There seems to be a 'Japanese school' that really gets into such perfect detailing.

Cheers

The only, "advice" that I could give...and I hope that sometime soon you do, is to produce a step by step book on how you achieved what I believe to be one of the most life like faces that I have ever seen in this scale, or in any other for that matter.

Amazing work!
A very realistic style and perfect an equilibrium. If you wanted to share some details of your work style, it would be interesting, thank you.
