If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I finished the mechanic figure, which is a 1/35 3D scan from Reed Oak

"Jeez, shoulda worn a hat!" (I accidentally broke off the screwdriver and handle he was holding in his left hand)



"Yup, shoulda worn a hat..."

But where are the underarm sweat stains on the singlet, or the black, brown, red & blue oil & grease stains on the overalls? :unsure:

Now comes the hardest part - coming up with a paint scheme. The easiest would be some sort of green. I may try Middlestone instead.

The smaller one is clearly for the Hitler Youth who could squeeze into it. Just what you give to a scared 13yo lad who can barely hold a rifle. A tin can that can be stopped by knocking it over or putting two large bricks under the wheels.

I do like your figure painting, they look like people. It's all in the shadows and lines that make their features pop.

Thanks, guys! It's really mostly blind luck with the figures so far. I'm slowly figuring out which techniques work best for me. A wet palette and acrylic glazes have done most of the work so far.

@Guy - you're right; I completely forgot about the sweat stains and oily overalls. I'll add them next time I use him for a model "model"

@Nick - the Spheroid tank would be an OK fit for a child or a small woman. I saw a build that featured a woman tanker figure, but I think she's probably too top heavy for the vehicle.
