The figure will be great under paint. I'm in the middle of the paintjob Tommy, I'm using enamels, silly me, now I have to wait for the paint to dry pfff. I'll purchase myself a battery of acrylics soon. |

Guy, since you are using the kit decals, heads-up that Tamiya aircraft decals are very sensitive if you use setting solution. They tend to get wrinkles that may not disappear.

Nice figure Guy. I bet you don't hear that very often?  He'll look great in the office. Ian's right about the decals. Trick with these is make sure they go on to a gloss surface. Soak in warm water only then put in place. Use a lint free cloth to settle them down and remove the excess water, then if needed give them a coat of MicroSol and don't touch then again until dry. |

The figure is drying and ready for a brute force oil slapping.  Today I went to my mother and she has a lot of paintings I brushed when I was young, vital and beautiful (this will be backfiring😂). I like to share my former hobby fruits with you. This is an oil painting on canvas, I painted it 29 years ago.  |
