Tim Streeter
Edina, Minnesota
Modeling Steve McQueen as “The Cooler King” Hilts from the movie The Great Escape, Tim hand-painted a 1/16 scale figure from H3. He built up colors from LifeColor, Model Master, and PolyScale to achieve realistic lighting on the clothes and jacket. Putty and Woodland Scenics rocks made the groundwork, and Tim dusted the figure’s shoes with pigments to match. He made the 8th Air Force decal for the shoulder insignia Hilts and added scratches in the leather with burnt umber and yellow ochre.
