A 3D-printed figure in 1:16 scale captures an officer of the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars in North Africa in August 1941. A set for experienced modelers.
Responsibility details are not available.
A single figure made by 3D printing, meant for the large 1:16 scale. At this size it is taken for granted that the viewer will see the features of the face, the folds of the cloth and the small items of gear, which is why it is a set for experienced modelers, not a quick build for one evening. The subject is an officer of a British cavalry regiment as he looked in the desert in August 1941.
The 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars is one of the oldest units of the British Army and it entered the Second World War already as an armored unit. In the Western Desert campaign it fought Italian and German forces, and its crews struggled as much with the dust, the heat and the lack of water as with the enemy. The look of an officer of that time was famously mixed: regulation uniform gave way there to practical clothing that could be worn all day in the desert.
First wash the part and free it of print residue, otherwise the paint will not adhere. Cut the supports off with a thin knife and sand the marks they leave. Use super glue for joining. Start the painting with a spray primer, go on with the flesh tones and build the cloth with glazes; in 1:16 scale the transition from dusty khaki to a cleaner color in the folds shows well.
The figure is supplied unassembled, without a finish and without a base, unless stated otherwise with the item. Paints and super glue are not in the package.
