I've got some of the hasegawa egg girls figures from one of the beetle kits, they look kinda decent but i cant find flesh coloured paint. I've got a masterbox stripper female cop and a fat truck driver set too, and a few random figures from kits. I would use them in my builds but i have no idea about paining figures

Vallejo do a set of acrylics that come with step by step instructions. I used oils as the base on my Vietnam infantryman and then the Vallejos over that. Just make sure you don't use gloss colouurs on the clothes unless the figure is a slender young lady in latex!! Just saying....

Sorry to be slow getting back to you on this, but I’ve had to give it some thought. 1:24th/25th scale models equate to what figure builders call 75mm scale, so I’ve been looking for on-line tutorials for those. Basically, it doesn't look much different from those recommended 54mm figures (1:30th-1:32nd, maybe even 1:35th) but I was never that good with those even when my hands didn’t shake and I didn’t need glasses let alone a magnifier. The bigger the figure the more subtle the technique required, I could turn out a passable 28mm (1:55th) figure but I haven't touched one in over a dozen years and I have doubts about reaching my old standards if I do get re-started. I may have to come up with new techniques to turn out something half-way decent; I have a couple of ideas and will make a post if they work out. The big problem is faces; humans are programmed to look at the face first (even if blokes tend to pan down to ladies chests after a few seconds) and it even works with scale figures. Eyes are the most prominent feature and need work if they aren’t to look doll-like (not a problem with “anime” style figures!) and that’s been my downfall; with wargame figures I could represent an eye with a sort of “T” shape with a long horizontal line and a very short vertical one, usually drawn with a very fine mapping pen. That’s not going to work with 75mm. Fortunately when I purchased these young ladies www.1999.co.jp/eng/10556896I found they included a decal sheet which had sets of eyes on it. A bit further research indicated that after-market decals for eyes are available but they are mostly for really large figures, I’ll have to investigate more. Regards, M |
