Started on my figures today.

I stayed home sick today and slept till noon! I never do that.

I did have 4½ hours to relax at the bench with a nice cup of coffee.

Aw, nuts! I posted a comment, but I think it's in the photo gallery.
They look good! Are those from the Tamiya USN pilots & deck crew set?
Except for the figure in the side cap. He looks a little to me like General Chennault!

I believe they are USN from Tamiya, they are now anyway. I tried to turn the bill up on one of the caps and didn't realize the flame was long & it curled a little too much. Lol. The other guy I just placed it on backwards.

General Chennault? Maybe, I'll call him Chesty Puller in for a visit.

Time to add shadows to these fellas then flat coat.

Finished painting & shading 5 of the 7 figures.
Time to go back to the diorama.

 

[GaryG64]

Other than 2 pilots to paint I'm finished with this diorama.

Now the new dilemma. What to build next? The problem is finding a spot for each finished build.

Question, did you have any issues getting the wings to fit properly? I tried and tried to get them to fit and could not get it. Ended up breaking one so the whole model went to garbage. I plan on retrying the build at some point.

No. I didn't run into any problem with the wings.
Sorry you had problems.
Hopefully, if you try it again, it will all fall into place for you.
