Responsibility details are not available.
The figure comes from the MN-hobby range devoted to Czech and Czechoslovak subjects. It depicts a man on duty with the traffic guard as he looked in 1939. The 1:16 scale is among the larger ones, so the cut of the uniform, the buttons, the belt and the features of the face stand out on the figure, that is the details that are lost in smaller scales.
The traffic guard was a service tied to supervising and directing road traffic, which the overall look of the figure matches: a uniform tunic with a belt, headgear and the equipment of the public order service of the time. The shades of the wool cloth, of the leather equipment and of the metal parts differed according to the dress regulations and according to the degree of wear, so it is a good idea to compare them with a period photograph or with the reference you choose for your scene.
With a figure in this scale it is the face that decides. Work from a darker skin tone toward lighter coats, leave the eyes for the very end and paint them with the thinnest brush you have. The wool cloth of the uniform comes out more convincingly in a matte treatment, while the leather of the belt and the boots will take a fine satin. Put shadows into the folds with a very thin dark paint in several passes and emphasize the edges with a dry brush. The small metal parts are enough suggested by rubbing with graphite.
