They are no longer headless monks!

Awesome work Katsu-san.

Don't change a thing with the heads, they are perfect and unique!

Thank you, stevie-san!

Figures are looking pretty sweet Katsu-mate !..., don’t see any scars , eye patches , glasses , tatts or disfigured one’s though !?...., not to mention facial follicles !...., perhaps you’ll be adding such touches during the ‘ painting ‘ stage , or not ?...., what about some with artificial/cybernetic replacement limbs ?
After all , as you’ve mentioned beforehand these ‘ soldiers ‘ are meant to exist in the “ real “ world , and are battle/operationally hardened.

It’s still amazing to see the level of detail and skills you’re investing with this build ( Arigato Gosaimasu ! ) but your previous post #1,269 !?...., well.... you asked for it !!!

#1269... I knew it... I got a bad feeling about this.

Bears, mustache, the tattoo will be done by the paint but I haven't even decided on the camo color and pattern of the battle dress.

Brilliant work Katsu, but that guy on the end is letting one rip!

Ahhh, you are right! I got to fix it today!

Thanks!

Loving the expressions with the heads and the interaction demonstrated between the soldiers. Looking great!

Still looking for the one asleep with his buddy shaking him awake.

 

[Snow Builder]

Adding my praise, I think they came out brilliantly

 

[JediMichael]

There he goes again....making us all look bad......

Thank you, Snow Builder-san! What is your art of snow this year?

Thank you. You are all the bad boys maybe but your model is terrific!

Here is some progress.

I think it may need a little more touch up but it almost OK to me.

Thanks for looking,

Katsu

I love that armor!

what are the black parts made from, is that metal or plastic or something else?

Thank you, Analyzer-san!
It’s made of metal.

 

[SmilingOtter]

The exoskeleton (along with everything else) looks fantastic.

 

[Analyzer]

Very appropriate for metal armor to be made of metal!

I love all those intricate scribing lines

 

[Hagoth]

Fantastic armored exoskeleton! Very nicely done!

Ok, 10 figures down with poses. 12 seats available. There is still a chance... Hey wake up!

 

[kerick]

Wow! I can't even paint a figure much less build my own! I love the exoskeleton and body armor!

 

[NakedMoleRat]

The amount of detail is simply amazing! Every time I look at this thread I walk away more and more in awe!

 

[joberg]

Looks very good Katsu-san Your work is interesting; the frontier between mechanic and organic is really well defined. You have, from one side, the mechanic/design of the Drop Ship, with its sharp lines/angles, etc. From the other, the organic/human side of the crew, with their different poses and faces and not so sharp lines/angles...but from their weapons and exoskeleton. Love it

A- haha! I've already made 12 soldiers for 13 seats! Huum, what's the one to occupy the rest?
Thanks!

Thank you so much, MoleRat-san!

As always, thank you so much for your close attention to my work, joberg-san.


Sorry to be late to get back to you, my friends.

I had a very busy weekend. Once every month, I plan the monthly menu of bento and dinner, list up the necessary items, and go shopping with my wife to buy a month's supply of food, drinks, and many home supply. Get back and unpack and store the whole thing to the predetermined place.　Some of them are divided into convenient pieces. And make an inventory list. That's A job.

Today. a rental high-pressure washer will arrive. We will wash up the outside walls and windows covered with dust by the storm we had a few weeks ago. That's A job.

I will post the progress a bit later.

We did that last year since we had some green algae on the one side of the house. It was amazing what a difference it made everywhere else though, but it took forever.

 

[Snow Builder]

Those figures are really turning out beautifully!

We've only had one snow so far this year. We went with a Polar Bear as a mother, daughter and me project (one of the dogs was interested too.

Yup, it took forever, she did a good job... Under my supervision.

Ahhh, these pictures are really making me smile. You both look so happy. You know how to enjoy the cold winter. I love the doggy.
And how beautiful the town you are living in!



I continued to do the paint job on them. Still a bit far from finished.
The work is so tough because they are so small but I'm enjoying it.

Paint the helmets, make grenades, earpieces, sun-glasses... A lot of things to do.

Thanks for looking!

 

[NakedMoleRat]

Those look phenomenal!

 

[Hagoth]

These grunts are looking awesome! Wow! Love the details like the tattoos and the eye patch.

Is the soldier next to One Eye asleep or reading his neighbors phone messages? Eyes are either closed or not pained yet.
