1:32 German mechanic N°1 from Black Dog is a figure of a German aircraft mechanic, that is a figure from the ground support that is often passed over in modeling scenes.

While airmen get into display cases as a matter of course, figures of the ground crew are missing almost everywhere - and yet it is exactly they who turn a static machine into a workplace. This figure from the brand Black Dog opens a pair of German mechanics and carries the sequence number 1 in its name. The period is not made more precise in the name, so we recommend choosing a setting that matches your model.
A mechanic makes sense everywhere something is going on with a machine: at an opened cover of the powerplant, at a wheel of the landing gear, at the topping up of the fluids. A scene with maintenance has the advantage over a purely aviation one that it will bear a mess - spilled stains, rags, open crates, a ladder leaning against the fuselage. It is exactly these small things that give a base the depth a polished model on its own never has. The figure of a mechanic also tends to be naturally bent or stretched out, so it breaks up the horizontal line of a scene.
With a working figure it pays to go further with the patina. Leave the basic tone of the clothing lighter than the result you want and darken it only with a thinned dark shade, which will run into the folds. Then rub the hands, the knees and the cuffs of the sleeves gently with dark pigment or with a heavily thinned brown. The difference between a clean and a worked-in figure lies mainly in these three places.
