Splinter and Pastor - Masterbox 1/35 post-apocalyptic figures - DONE
Ramba:
Great job on both figures.
Old Wombat:
Good job on the figures, Frank! :smiley:
Actually, painted up, Pastor's dog doesn't look bad at all (better than the box top dog, IMO).
Having been looking at dog kits recently, I can say that very few kit makers get German Shepherds looking right, so MasterBox aren't alone there.
Frank3k:
Thanks! The German Shepherds in German Feldgendarmerie w/Dogs are pretty good - and tiny compared to the beast wolf hound with Splinter.
This is the last Masterbox figure kit I'll buy, at least until their quality improves/I can see good images of the sprues and a closeup of a build. Their figure kits have gotten expensive per figure and just lack detail or finesse. The Dragon kit I mentioned above is from 1998 and the figures and gear are noticeably better than the latest Masterbox offerings. Plus they can't seem to be able to sculpt women.
Jeff sent me a link to the Russian PTRS-41 and PTRD-41 anti-tank rifles... and if you squint one or the other may have been the inspiration for the Pastor's rifle.
ChernayaAkula:
More of Frank's Figure goodness! 8) Great! :smiley:

--- Quote from: Frank3k on November 24, 2021, 08:14:11 AM ---I'm done with Al Pastor. I could probably work on him some more, but while the figure quality is better than Splinter (he looks like a man), the molding and details are sub-par.
His ridiculous rifle was bugging me; I don't understand the layout and the molding was just very soft:

I think I know what it was supposed to represent.
