In Their Own Words
The Tamiya 1/16 German Infantryman was
assembled using Tamiya Extra Thin cement. I
applied the cement to the joints and waited for
the plastic to soften and bubble out. Then the
plastic was pushed in firmly to eliminate the
seam line. After the figure was assembled, I
base coated it with dark gull grey followed by
light gull grey. Then Testors Model Master
White was applied, by drybrushing layer upon
layer until the desired effect was achieved.
Military Brown was also used in drybrushing.
The seams of the uniform were washed using
acrylic paints. Next, I'm going to weather the
equipment. I am thinking of constructing
another one, this time in a camouflage uniform,
with the optional MP-44 that comes with the kit.
