This is a big, heavy ...

I was impressed with the face, which struck me as a departure from so many typical features ma...

Excellent work. I especially like the shading, and the rusted pipe effect.

Beautifully done!

In addition to the great input already given, I'd like to add Verlinden has gone out of business. You can still find some of the product available, but now whatever is out there is limited. One suggestion I have is not a figure brand, but a dealer. Red Lancers carries a huge assortment of figures an...

Love your choice of colors. Shading is fantastic. Very interesting subject.

Thank you for the kind words. AngelGrinder, us rebels have to stick together.

Good30......someone else told me about the marking, but if it should have been pretty obvious mine didn't have it. I inspected the piece when I received it to generally find seam lines and imperfections. I don't remember anything on the bottom. That was smooth. The hollowed out backside didn't appea...

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/924/AgWv3R.jpg I came across this fantastic bust while browsing one night, and ended up with it. This is a 1/2 scale resin bust of Ian McKellen as Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies. It came all the way from China, and was beautifully cast. No f...

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/923/BU4xML.jpg This is a 1/8 scale resin bust by FeR Miniatures named Baerkrom. I bought this at the IPMS Nationals contest earlier this year. It was a lot of fun to paint, and I chose not to duplicate the war paint he has on the box art. Instead I tried my fir...

You did a beautiful job painting that. I agree with tay666.....the color choices are ideal.

I attended back in 2014, and took my own photo of what turned out to be the Best in Show winner. I've seen photos of that winner for 2015 and 2016. Does anyone have a good photo of the model that won this award for 2017? If so, thanks for sharing it.

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/922/OtjvVZ.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/923/FtoYwI.jpg I'm always pleased to share my hobby with family and friends. Once in a while someone is motivated to give it a try. A friend who lives out of state wanted to try figure painting, so I let her ...

It's been a long time since I posted anything, so I'm hoping to make up for it. These are two recently completed projects. The first is Tartar Miniatures Plains Indian. The bead...

Thank you everyone. I love sharing my work here.

Its been a long time since I weighed in on something, but this is awesome. I love the colors, the effects, and especially the look of the back. Fantastic job!

I hope all my US friends have enjoyed a fantastic Thanksgiving. I've been working on this a long time, and finally can share...

Thank you for the info Brian.

Thanks for the kind words. Ric, I've used Humbrol for decades, and like the coverage. For some basic colors like metallics I use the cheap Testors. It does the job just fine. I've even used a few of the Model Master colors, when they make something perfect for my needs. Hope this helps.

Sorry I don't know the maker, because it was a bagged kit. If any...
