A figure of a present-day military mechanic in 1:35 scale. The man who makes an open engine bay look like work in progress rather than a breakdown.
Responsibility details are not available.
Behind every combat vehicle there is a workshop crew. A mechanic works in field conditions, often under a tarpaulin or right at the side of the road, and his kit differs strikingly from an infantryman's: work overalls instead of a ballistic vest, wrenches and gloves at the belt, the helmet set aside.
An open hood or a removed hatch on a model always raises the question of who opened it. With nobody there it looks as if the vehicle had been abandoned. With a mechanic the same picture becomes maintenance in the field, that is an action with a story. A single figure can therefore justify the whole engine bay you spent hours on.
High-resolution printing renders the folds of the work clothing and the shape of the hands in 1:35 clearly enough for the figure to stand up to a close look. Resin also holds its shape better than injection-molded plastic on thin areas.
A mechanic needs mess. Set out tools, a rag, a jerrycan and a removed part laid on the ground around him, and only in surroundings like that does he start to make sense. And do not skimp on the hands: oily patches on the palms and forearms matter more on this figure than any pattern on the back.
Repair scenes mostly take place in shade, under a tarpaulin or between vehicles. That is exactly why you should not paint the figure too brightly; a muted palette with one strong accent, an orange glove for instance, draws the eye more reliably than colorful clothing.
