About product

A stylized figure of a soldier of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army - a kit from Meng

A plastic kit of a stylized figure from the manufacturer Meng, made with no tie to a scale. The figure is deliberately caricatured — a large head, a short body, simplified arms and legs. You assemble and paint the model yourself.

How the figure is made

On a stylized figure the uniform and the equipment are reduced to a few legible shapes: a cap, a coat, a belt and a couple of small items. That has a practical consequence for the painting — the areas are large and the color transitions between them make up most of the final impression. The boundary between the areas therefore has to be clean; a blurred transition is far more visible on a small stylized shape than on a scale figure.

Building and painting tips

Once it is assembled, first level the parting lines carefully and sand them over with the finest paper you have. Apply a thin surfacer and paint from the bottom up, that is from the largest areas to the details. Use thinned acrylics and rather more coats than one heavy one. Bring the volume out softly: a slightly darkened shade into the folds, a slightly lightened one on the high points. Separate the sharp edges with a fine brush and heavily thinned paint, with which mistakes are easier to correct. Leave the small metal and leather elements until last and give them a different degree of gloss from the uniform. Fix the whole with a matte clear coat and finish any glossy parts off spot by spot.

Who the kit is for

  • collectors of stylized figures
  • modelers who want to practice painting uniforms on large areas
  • beginners looking for a short build with a striking result
  • those who put a whole row of figures together side by side

The kit is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

In none. The proportions are deliberately foreshortened, so the figure is not tied to a scale and cannot be built alongside scale figures.

Reckon with ordinary cement for polystyrene, as the package does not hold any. Whether the parts are designed without gluing is stated in the instructions.

Thin the paint heavily and apply it in three or four thin coats. One heavy coat will leave brush marks, which stand out on a smooth surface.

The extent corresponds to a short build of a single figure. The exact number of parts is stated in the instructions.
