Have you set a price yet ?

Painted , Unpainted ?

These ar going to bring my T-34 to life !!

Pickel, the unpainted will be 18.00 each, so the set of them is 18 x 4 = $72
The painted will be around $30, but I'll take very limit coz I don't have much time to do that.
Soon will post them at Buy, sell and trade when they are back.

I guess it hard to fit 1/16 scale, that there are obviously different size in vision.

Weylen,
Will you be able to make the Russian weapons available to buy seperate from the figures?
If so, what kind of cost and how many to a pack??
Thanks again for sharing your amazing creations with us.

Why couldn't the Russians be riding on a Lend-lease M4 Sherman?

That would be cool if you opened up a small 1/18 gun shop too! Selling accessories and stuff like gear and weapons. But have something like a minimum order of $25 so your not sending $5 in guns over to the US. It might keep things simple. Think about it. I would definitely buy 1/18 guns and gear from you!!!!!!

Those Russian tankers have turned out fantastic, Weylen.

You mentioned doing WWII pilots?

Think there might be a market for those as well. But limited to collectors who have done customs, or want something more than the decent 21C/BBI ones.

I think figures are more important for armour, rather than aircraft. And I would concentrate on these.

And I am not even an armour guy.

I always love the WWII ace fighter pilot from all nations when I'm have fun with modeling in the past, but there is no specify 1/18 scale fighter pilot figure have seen so far like Erich Hartmann、Hans Marseille、Gerhard Barkhorn、Richard Bong、David McCampbell、Saburo Sakai etc, Lot of them from different nations. Don't know people will interest?

I think that there will interest in the German pilots. With your skills you could make your own line of figures.

If you can make them resemble the character. There was talk on the main forum of the 1/6 scale figures.

I am sure if you could make figures of that crazy whacked out goose stepper and his borscht eating nemesis you would corner the market.

Great Idea!!!

Yes, you have something with your individual aces. Very cool!
You could even branch out and do FDR, Churchhill, IKE, Montgomery or even Winters and Nixon from the 101st. Skies the limit!

YEA! And now with hair!

LOL just messing with you.

If I where to buy figures, how much would you charge extra just to paint the faces and hands? I can't do that.

Don't you wanna try on the waste figure.

Continuing the paint guide!
After apply the flap coat that the wash is ready for next step which need to have black + brown oil paint mix with “Zippo” that it content high volatility liquid which is dry fast but still need about 2 days.
*Wash all the engrave area.
*Use kitchen tissue wipes the figure surface that leaves the diluted oil paint on it.
*leave them dry.

The way of wash can be used for entire figure as well, once apply on the head part that need a bit careful the shading of face, used clean brush and cotton swabs to clean light shade area like nose、Zygomatic、chin、mandible etc.

The zippo will not eat away the acrylic paint?

100% safe, trust me!!

*Tanker dry brush-matt 32+matt 111

*Russian soldier uniform dry brush-matt 72
*matt-83 for dirt effect on boots

Those figure not quite complete yet! The eyes needs to paint on it, now they are in position on the T-34.
