Over the last few days I've been concentrating on the figures for both models. The romfell figure just needed a matt coat and the buckles picked out on his leather leggings.
The type 10 figure received my usual method of decals for the uniform followed by painting with vallejo colours. I painted the legs black as they won't be seen once he is in the turret and it also saves on the decals too.
Hi Mark, the method is quite simple, I just prime the figures first then cut the decals to the rough shape of say the back or front of the figure and apply. I use Daco heavy setting solution which softens the pieces well and then just trim it with a sharp blade in situ. On arms and legs I usually use two parts and once dry there is usually no seam line to worry about. It does take a bit more time over say brush painting but it's something I've used on JGSDF figures since my type 90 build.
Hi Pete
ReplyDeleteDecals on the Japanese figure? How does this work?
Cheers
