About product

Tank Boy in 1:35 scale from Alternity Miniatures

The figure is cast from modeling resin in 1:35 scale and is supplied unpainted. It is not a kit of a vehicle but a figure of its own, which a modeler uses as a figure accessory for a model, as part of a scene, or builds and paints as an object in itself. Resin holds sharper detail than injected plastic, which is why it is used for figures, and the price for that is a more laborious preparation of the casting.

About the subject and the brand

Alternity Miniatures is a brand of original figures and busts which keep outside standard military production and draw on post-apocalyptic and fantasy subjects. The figures have a strong feel for character and tend to be conceived as illustrations, not as a uniformed figure standing to attention. Before buying we recommend comparing the sculpting with the data of the manufacturer; with original figures it is precisely the treatment of the face and the proportions that decide the result.

Building and painting tips

First wash the casting in lukewarm soapy water, as mold release agent from the mold stays on the surface and paint does not hold on it. Cut the casting blocks away with a saw or a sharp cutter, never break them off, as on thin parts there is a risk of cracking. Do the sanding wet and with protection of the airways. To join the parts use super glue (cyanoacrylate), since glue for plastic has no effect on resin. Once the base has been sprayed on, work with acrylics or oil paints; build up the skin and the fabrics with gradual glazing, and fine-tune the metal parts with a dry brush or pigments.

Who the figure is for

  • For builders of dioramas in 1:35 scale who are looking for an unconventional figure
  • For painters of figures who want to practice skin, fabrics and transitions
  • For collectors of original small resin sculpture
  • For modelers with experience of resin, as the preparation of the casting is more demanding than with plastic

The figure is supplied unpainted, as a casting in resin. Paints, glue and a base are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Check the contents of the package beyond the casting itself on the packaging, or in the manufacturer's catalog.

Mold release agent from the mold stays on the surface. If it is not removed, the base and the paint peel off.

Yes, the 1:35 scale is the most widespread scale of models of military equipment, so the proportions match.

With acrylic or oil paints once the base has been sprayed on. Oil gives more time to blend the transitions on the skin.
