Hi all, I got a figure set from Tamiya with some extra Dragon parts. I have some questions. One of the figures that is walking is wearing a jacket… What color would the jacket be and the pants. I was thinking a mix of Khaki and a little bit of buff to paint the jacket and for the pants OLive Green with a bit of Olive Drab. Also, some of the other figures are wearing the standard two piece uniform. Would these be the same color or were they different.
And another thing, How do you change heads on figures when the Tamiya ones are molded on?
And to make figures look like they haven’t shaven, how to you replicate this, stippling a brush with a little bit of paint in the areas you want or somehing else. And, wouldn,t the most weathered places on a uniform be around the bottom legs, knees, and elbow. And, do you replicate fading by adding white and grey to the base coat. And finally, when painting figures, you don’t apply the paint staraight but don’t you apply the shading and then paint over with thinned ayers until you get the desired affect or do you do something else.
I know, its alot but I’m hoping to make these look good.
THanks,
David
