Hey guys, just finished this ( ahh my neck!! ). It is my first time using acrylics and my first "real" mini since I have barely done any in the past. Hope you like it!

Comments are welcome as always..

This is from the Tamiya Officers set ...

This was one of the first figures i ever painted when i was a kid i painted it with high Gloss Testors enamel and Pactra Flat military Colors Enamel ah the memories .
You did a good job on painting this one

Good Start.

I can see where you have tried to shade, use layers, and highlight.

Weapons can be given a bit of a metallic sheen bu rubbing the side of lead pencil along them. (the lead bit, not the wooden bit)

If the neck is sore, what you can do is get a scrap of wood or something to raise the figure up off desk height. Even a 3 -4 inch height improvement is a huge change on neck strain!!

Like how you have done a neat job on your figure! Mine need a lot more work!! Bit still a very neat finish!

Cheers!

PS - the metallics for the webbing (suspenders) can be given a slight tint to add some different shades. This will help carry the idea the rank badges and equipment are slightly different!!

Good idea, I thought it was pretty good for a first. But you can really see where I tried to shade and highlight? Guess it wasnt done proper enough

Bit Belated..

on his trousers, I can see a wash type effort.

I can see where you have put shading and highlight efforts onto the water bottle.
Looking forward to your figure!

Cheers
