When inspiration strikes in the quiet hours of the night — sometimes you just have to act. That’s exactly what happened to our talented master modeler. Under the glow of the moon, surrounded by silence and shadows, he brought to life one of our latest figure sets: Brown Jersey (Modern) in 1/32 scale.

This video captures a unique behind-the-scenes moment: a spontaneous late-night painting session driven by pure artistic impulse. No deadlines. No distractions. Just a deep connection to the craft — and the desire to breathe life into these modern aircraft deck crew figures.

From choosing tones and shading to capturing the texture of uniforms and skin, every brushstroke adds character and realism. Whether you're a seasoned painter or new to figure modeling, this glimpse into the emotional side of the hobby is sure to resonate.

The Brown Jerseys are essential crew members responsible for fueling aircraft on modern carriers. Our 1/32 scale set reflects real-life detail — from posture and uniform to facial expressions. These figures can elevate any aircraft diorama with realism and storytelling.

Sometimes, the best modeling happens off-script — late at night, when creativity flows uninterrupted. Let this video remind you that modeling isn’t just a technical skill — it’s an art form.
