Thanks Jeff and Boots, I glued one tanker together and it wasn't a walk in the park.
The binoculars (one half in each hand) were pretty tricky to bring together and then there was the beautifully molded/printed yet brittle pivoting center of the binoculars...yeah right, that broke off and jumped right into the mouth of the carpet monster.😖
I had to clean and then make a new one from a piece of styrene rod. Luckily that worked.
Tomorrow, when the second Panzer Art figgie's done I take a picture.

Here's n°1, I have to re-sculpt the sleeve detail as something went wrong. No criticism towards Panzer Art btw. the figure looks marvelous with, for example, the belt details. Each figure comes with two heads (with and without tanker helmet). The binoculars middle section needs a little sanding in the right shape, at least that's what I'm going to try. Flu or not, modelling makes me feel a little less miserable🥴🤧🤒  |

Thanks mates, the flu is losing grip after a 39.1C° temperature. With a new Belgian beer "Kerel" I'm flushing away the last resistance. Figure n°5 is without a doubt the hardball player with his attitude and western revolver and -holster. Another stunning figure from Panzer Art.
 They've taken a degreasing shower and now I can start the paintjob.  |

Cheers Boots-bro🍺 The five figures were airbrushed with white from above, heavily thinned black the other way and to soften the harsh contrasts I ended by spraying on a blue-ish white (this adds a lot of extra depth imo).  Insane detail!  |

Not at all Boots, figure painting is frustrating to me every now and then, and I have to completely redo the paintwork quite often.
I keep trying until I'm pleased with it, I am my own worst enemy.😣
You're very kind mate.
