This is what I used to do before I started collecting the real thing... First, I needed some uniforms to help me paint my figures accurately, then I bought another... then another... and finally, started buying more uniforms than modelling!

I will also make another one, but when I saw these ones, than saw mine again... Mine are pitiful, compared to the high level detailed stuff shown here... *SigH*

Interesting hobby - historical diorams and figurines
I grew up making 1:35 scale military dioramas. I used to be able to paint the details of the eyes and awards. I miss it. Thanks for sharing those websites!!!

It is really impressive, how do you paint the awards of that size? Do you need a magnification glass or something?

Yes,
It is very interesting!! I had a Hobby workers clamp. Basically, a heavy base with two arms with clamps on them to hold the piece to be painted and I used a lighted magnifier on a swing arm clamped to my work bench. Using these to hold, light and magnify the 1:35 scale figure, I painted the eyes and awards with a a fine hair artists paint brush that I trimmed down to one fine hair. It took a lot of PRACTICE, PRACTICE and more PRACTICE It was a lot of fun!!! Best, Doc |

My english is rather crappy...did I get it right? A brush with ONE single hair? You paint the figures with a brush with ONE hair? Hell, that sound like a really difficult hobby. But very cool too.
