Title: The Göring Figure
Post by: GazzaS on August 23, 2020, 09:56:54 AM
HI Everyone,
   I wonder just how many of these will get painted or built.  It's a nicely carved figurine with sharp detail and was fun to complete. 
(https://scontent.fbne5-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118040476_986955141771227_1785542709130247705_o.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_sid=ca434c&_nc_ohc=Ndm2cUlTZN0AX-VlQyx&_nc_ht=scontent.fbne5-1.fna&oh=62173743f04598b712234272da1969df&oe=5F65C30A)

In an attempt to make him less onerous, I've painted his hat a more Saxon green and changed the cockades as well.  Though, they'll be hard to see.  Instead of macro photos, I thought it would be better to make them closer to scale as my painting just isn;t that good, and macro photos often ruin perceptions, IMO.

I'm going to add him to my Saxon Jasta 54 build with a simple base.  Thanks for looking!

This is extremely well looking, I'm not used to make figures but having this and MvR from the respective boxes, I will give them a try as well.
Ciao

Thank you, Giuseppe!  I have a lot of mediocre figures, and it;s really a pleasure to work on one that is well shaped.

Nice one Gaz! Really good job on him. Yes I was surprised at how crisp the figures are- but I don’t have much to compare them to. Daz

Thanks Daz!  I try to make a practice of adding a figure to each armor model for scale.
