Starlux French Foreign Legion Officer (Copy)

This time it is a Starlux copy figure I gave a better look.  The sculpting of this figure isn't that good but I tried to make the best of it. I've seen this figure in brown and green colors, but I decided to give him the blue and white uniform. It might be not historical correct but so he fits better with my other figures of the Frenc Foreign Legion of Timpo I painted. I kept it very simple and I hope you like him.



I've painted the Timpo FFL figures in this post: Timpo 9507 French Foreign Legion. I repainted their hats from blue into white, because that was a mistake I made. 

Here together with the Timpo figures.




And this is how this figure looked like unpainted. He looks much better now. Don't you think?



Thanks for watching!

The Magnificent Seven - Part 01 - Chris Adams

This is the start of a very long project. Figures and horses included this project will have 39 pieces to paint. The figures are from Steve Westons Toy Soldiers and they came as a present from my good friends Paul Howes (The Seven) and Detlef Heerbrand (All Mexicans, good and bad guys). Thanks you guys! 

I start with the "Seven" and the first one is of course Chris Adams, played in the movie by Yul Brunner. I always thought he had a full black clothing but now when I have a close look it looks more as a dark grey. But I've painted him in black with a nice grey drybrush and I must say I like the final result. He looks like Yul and I have the dark grey that I wanted and good shading on the figure.





Figures are based on this movie.

Yul Brunner as Chris Adams

Unpainted figure.

This movie is one of my favorites, also because of the great actors that are in this movie but also because of the story. Original it were Seven Samourais, and that is the only movie I'm missing in my collection of the Seven. There is also a TV-series which is not bad in my opinion. Well, up to the next one and I hope you like my version of Chris Adams.

Thanks for watching!

A Jean Hoeffler Indian painted for a friend!


Because he sended me some very nice painted figures, I couldn't resist painting Detlef Heerbrand also a figure. So here you can see the result and at this moment the figure is already at his new home.



Here you can see whet he sended me.

Elastolin Indian 6808 (Copy)

Another figure that I gave a new colorful live. I have tried to give him the same colors in the Elastolin catalogue. This is again a far west copy made in the far east! As always painted with acrylic colors. I hope you like him.






This is how he looked unpainted. Big difference don't you think?



A closer look.

Star Wars Boba Fett

With this figure I came out of my comfort zone. It's my first science fiction figure I ever painted. The figure is a 3D printed figure and it is 54 mm high (scale 1/32). There were some edges that were not easy to reach for painting but I think I had the most parts covered.

The figure is a gift for my youngest son who collects all figures of Boba Fett he can get. It was ment to be a Christmas gift but I couldn't finish the figure in time. But finaly I managed to get it done. And here you can see the result.








I hope you like him!

Airfix WW2 US Infantry

First post of the year, so I wish everyone a very good and healthy year. And lots of modelling fun of course! 

These Airfix figures are produced in 2009-2016 (http://www.airfix132.de/hornby_2009.html) and are made of hard plastic and not in soft plastic like the older ones. After a good wash I painted them with acrylic paints. Seven poses, but there seems to be another officer pose. I made a base for the figure with the bazooka with a plastic sheet.





I hope you like them and so I'm started in this year. Here is the box art and pictures of the unpainted figures.

Hong Kong Cowboy

Just a single figure I painted in between other figures. It is a Hong Kong copy but I don't know from what brand. He looks a bit as the Airfix one but he is different. Scale is 1/32 and is painted with acrylic paints.





I hope you like him.
