  • Hello everyone! Apologies for the delay in channel updates.
    I'm thrilled to present to you my latest project custom 1/6 scale figure. Dive into the detailed process and enjoy the step-by-step video. Your feedback and support mean the world to me!
    Please consider subscribing to my CZcams Channel.
    To create this kitbash, I used loose parts from the following brands:
    Hot Toys, JX Body, Very Hot, Toy Soldier, Soldier Story, Easy & Simple, FLAGSET, and Kotobukiya.
    ☞ To simulate the asphalt, I used wallpaper from the Japanese brand SINCOL.

    🪖 Private Military Contractors, also known as private military companies (PMCs), have been involved in various roles in Afghanistan.
    Historically, PMCs in Afghanistan have been employed for a range of services, including security, logistics, training, and advisory roles. They have often been contracted by governments, international organizations, or private entities to support military and security operations.
    During the U.S.-led military intervention in Afghanistan, which began in 2001, PMCs played a significant role in providing security for various facilities, personnel, and convoys. They were also involved in tasks such as training Afghan security forces and providing logistical support.
    As the situation in Afghanistan has changed over the years, with the withdrawal of foreign troops and the evolving political landscape, the role of PMCs may have shifted accordingly. Additionally, the specific activities of PMCs can vary depending on the contracts they have with their clients.

    I love your videos, they’re really helping me! I collect 1/6 scale historical action figures (Dragon, Ujindou, Alert Line, QOrange, etc.), and your weathering and customizing is exactly the help I’ve been needing. I would love to see more weathering and kit bashing of figures along with diorama bases and backgrounds. You do fantastic work!

      Cuando combino efectos de color del desierto, siempre uso Weathering Mr. Hobby. La tiza pastel también es una gran alternativa.

    Great job again, the hair fixer, do you use them for a better fit of the clothes? Thinking about doing the same, get it dry after using?

    • @biginjapan.miniatures
      @biginjapan.miniatures  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Yes! Hair fixer is super useful! It dries quickly and does not leave stains on the fabric. Try to find an unscented hairspray. In my opinion, it is an excellent method for giving them a good fit, modeling or something like that 👍🏻

    Essa tinta metálica cinza que vc usou para fazer o tom de desgaste na arma é que tipo de tinta ? Aqui no Brasil consigo achar ?

    • @biginjapan.miniatures
      @biginjapan.miniatures  Před 7 měsíci

      Essa tinta que usei é uma tinta específica, normalmente usada no ramo de plastimodelismo. Provavelmente vc vai encontrar tintas semelhantes da marca Tamiya, no Brasil. Caso vc não encontrar, tenta usar spray metálico, desses q encontramos em lojas de tinta automotiva. Acredito que terá um efeito semelhante, se vc seguir os passos do vídeo: jogue uma quantidade no papel e, em seguida, use o cotonete, tirando o excesso e aplicando suavemente no local desejado. Tenha cuidado porque a tinta tem q estar 90% seca no cotonete. Faça testes com outros objetos antes de aplicar na peça.
