Doug,

Superb work. Glad you went red with the crowbar. From the pix I looked at earlier, I am convinced that red or not, all colors are correct.

I forgot to look - this is a Revell model? Obviously not the one I built in 196...9? Revell's own molds?

Thanks for showing us your build.

chevrons and life vest


The key to small scale figures is to add a lot of contrast to give them depth. I make the shadows very dark and the highlights very bright, just make sure that you place them in the correct position by using a strong overhead light to find the high and low places that light touches the surface.

Doug,
The figure really looks great, and the stance looking up at the sky sets the mood. Very nicely done.
