Hey guys! Here is finished (almost) crew figures. These are my first figures, I have never painted them before. I repainted them more than 10 times. And I never saw good painted figures live. Therefore, I have nothing to compare the result of my work with. The photos are very sharp, my Samsung processes them like that, making too many grains. Well, please, make the scale of the pictures on the monitor so that it approximately coincides with the size of the figures in real life. Please, tell me honestly how well they are painted? Maybe i need to remake something?

Thank you for sharing your opinion, Andy. Moreover, I completely agree with you on almost everything. I always pay for what I use. And the point here is not that I want to help Chinese fakers. But in the fact that in no store in Russia I did not find the figures I needed. Not in one. Moreover, on the same Amazon there was not a single seller with delivery to Russia. Do not blame me for buying a Chinese fake. The point here is not in saving money, but in the hopelessness of my situation at that time. And it's not that I want to advertise Chinese fakes. I just shared my experience. An

What exactly detail set? Do you have any info about it?

Hey Tim! How is your build going? Any updates?

And here is another modulation technique, with oil paints. I've tried oil paints on my figures and it's give really nice results. It much more easier to create nessesary smooth gradients with oils than with acrylic paints.

Hey guys! I gave the video a few pages back. It may be helpful to you. Take a look.

Yeah! The single is the best! Looks more accurate.

As for me that scorpions looks great.

HI Oliver, Why don't you made a decal yourself? If you need I can draw It in coreldraw for you. I'm sure, there is some guys California who can print it on decal paper with ALPS printer that can print white color. I've made all decals by myself for my uh-1.

Hi Oliver, Just tell me, how could we miss that topic? That's about your exhaust supports. There is nice pics with detailed mount scheme. Still hope you will remake it, if you find that your scheme is wrong of course.

I see now. Hope it will be the last remake on this helo. You've done so many remakes, so it enough for another one more build. Cheers Oliver! Waiting for another update!

Why did you do that? It was perfect, as for me.

Nice results, Oliver! Keep going! Hope all we are will see this great work finished soon.

Thanks for advice my friend, but the problem is in another place, not in chicken plates. This is a fully scratch builded seats, and they was maded for figures from the kit. But now I have bravo6 pilots, and their butts does not fit the seats. Of course I can cut off some space of their butts, but I think It will look not good. However I will try to follow your advice, maybe I can make a nice sculpting to make them fit.

Hey comrades! Some updates. Instrument panel repainted, highlights added to stiffening ribs, it was flat black. Hope now it looks better. Finished radio bay, electronics, wires, and front window's ventilation pipes. Figures - right hands glued, seat belts cutted off. Now I see their knees hits the instrument panel, so need to pull seats back a little bit. So I cutted off seat's guides, need to scratchbuild them again. And now I'm trying to figure out how to make pilot's left hands fit and hold elevation stick. This is a real mind-b

I've made 2 orders, for 450 euro = 512 usd. And they didn't give me any discount on this orders. But they gived me members club card with second order when I reached 450 euros total, think I can get some discount next time. Today I have tried paints with brush, and I'm very satisfied. I used only tamiya before, so can compare only with it. Easy to apply, good coverage, no smell, so don't like tamiya anymore 😊

I thought you have only 4th part. I almost finished rotor, instrument panel and radio bay. Hope I'll show you my progress in a couple of days.

Hi guys, Just received my new stuff from AMMO MIG. Now I'm happy and ready to go further. Oliver, thank you for your advice to get all MIG'S encyclopedias! They are awesome!

Oliver, try to use Google Photos https://photos.google.com/ I use it without any problems. Very convenient and easy service. Highly recomend!

You are welcome my friend!

Hi Oliver! Heres is my figures review, as promised.

Hey guys! I recieved figures. I spent more than 10 hours to find them on the website taobao. Everything in Chinese. And if you want to find something, then you need to type in search not "Resin figures 1/35", but something like "Resi mini war soldie vietnam 1/35", half cutted words, it's a craziness. I should learn Chinesse. Remind, it's a copies, because i can't find any original options. No any photoetched parts, no any instructions, no any decals, even no any carton boxes. But it was not principal for me, because i have photoetched ammo belts, i have helmets parts from E

Hi Alex! Thanks! I saw your works, and all i can say: you are crazy man in a good meaning :))))

You already helped a lot, Oliver. Believe me. I'm trying to, but always unsatisfied by result. Just ordered tons of paints by ammo Mig for 300$, hope it worth it. Want to try to paint figures with acrylic and retarder. Later will post result in my topic. About my bravo6, I'm chilling at the sea now, so maybe tomorrow I can make detailed photos of the figures with professional camera, hope you can see details. As for me, figures looks just great. Can't compare with original ones, but I can't say I'm not satisfied. Of course they need to be sanded a little bit, but I'm sure as an original ones s

Oh, I see... Thanks! I just received my Chinese copies of bravo6 helo crew for my uh-1, so wanted to ask about "right" paint. Your figures are top notch!
