GREAT PAINT JOB ON A CLASSIC TOY SET. HAD THESE IN THE LATE 50S.THERE WERE MORE FIGURES IN DIFFERENT POSES THEY LEFT OFF.THERE ARE A COUPLE OF GOOD BOOKS ON MARX TOY SOLDIERS SETS.THE GIANT TOY COMPANY MADE MARX FIGURES IN 1/72 SCALE IN THE EARLY 60S.THANK YOU AND TAKE CARE P S I STILL HAVE MY MARX FIGURES FROM THE 7OS.SETS.
When you consider the time in which these were originally made the quality of the sculpts is remarkably good. Anatomically reasonably correct with pretty good detail. As reissues, it looks as if the molds have lasted pretty good as well. Nice figures.
Another great paint job! How did you approach painting these guys? Did you paint one figure at a time or paint all of one color (paint all the pants, then the tunic, etc...)? Back in the day I started painting one color at a time but ran out of gas after painting packs, rifles and bayonets. I had a lot more distractions (homework/sports!) back then.
Thank you 👍. I paint them 2 at a time. I think it's supposed to be quicker painting all one colour at a time like pants etc but I don't think I'd have the patience for that. So I prefer just concentrating on 2 figures at a time.
G'day to you Mark, Nice Painting Mate, do you spray them with Matt Varnish when finished, I have around 300 ACW in 1/72 scale, Inf. Cav. Artillery been painting for 10 years on and off, once again nice job! Armadale West Aust.
