Tristar 1/35 Scale Kit No. 012 ~ Russian Tank Crew

These are from a Tristar kit that has seven Russian figures in it, one that was already used for my BA-20 episode. These are the others. I have replaced some of the heads and hands as the quality on the sculpting was not to my satisfaction.
This one has a hand from hornet and a head from an Alpine figure- big improvement!

Head from an Ultracast head with '40's hair styles set. The hand again from Hornet.

A female- not to badly represented.

Looking good Jamie. Thanks for adding the figure section.

Resin heads are a big improvement over injection ones, particularly the ears which tend to suffer from the mold join.

I will post a step by step painting black panzer uniforms asap, as well as some useful uniform reference books.

Yes actually this figure portion of the site should be fun!
I usually like to build each figure in relation to a specific kit/project to ensure that the arms/hands and such all line up and "fit" with the tank or whatever- (nothing look s more fake than a hand floating mysteriously off of a surface), but if there are any issues in the future I'll just replace these hands with Hornet or Alpine/Ultracast items.

Although I have alot of figure sets that I have bought and built I usually don't finish most of them. I get them primed and then stop waiting for the perfect time to use them. They are just sitting a drawer in my model room waiting to be used. I used to buy every Dragon figure set that came out but last year I decided to rid myself of them as I knew I was never going to use them. I still have alot of them but sold or traded alot of them away.
