YÜRGEN, BAD PIPE – 35MM

Yürgen, Bad Pipe - a 35 mm figure, AK Interactive

A collector figure to assemble and paint yourself, in 35 mm size. It is neither a finished model nor a vehicle kit. The number of parts and any base are stated on the box.

The subject of the character

The character is defined by a small prop detail, a pipe. From a modeling point of view that matters: elements as thin as this tend to be the most sensitive spot on a casting. At the same time they are what gives the figure its character and what a viewer at a display case notices sooner than the overall pose. The particular treatment of the casting is not stated here.

Building and painting tips

Wash the casting in lukewarm water with dish soap. On thin projecting parts separate the casting block in two steps: first cut the coarse excess off further from the part, and only then clean it up with a file right at the surface, because levering or snapping will reliably break detail like that. Take the seams off with a scalpel drawn flat. It is often better to glue the thinnest elements on only after the surrounding areas have been painted, which saves you awkward work with the brush. Glue with super glue, ideally with an accelerator applied only once the part is in place. After the primer, start with the face and the hands, because they are the main thing on this character; finish the small prop separately with a thin brush and fit it at the end. Any smoke can be suggested with teased-out modeling cotton, which is not included in the package.

• For painters who like character figures with a prop
