Re: Haunting of Hill House (Netflix)

This is really exceptional and works on many levels - like how families become 'haunted' by personal tragedy. It's so good to find a horror film that's genuinely disturbing at last. Superb camerawork and editing get the credit for that. It is challenging in the sense that the story structure is comp...

Re: Just outta the hospital

I had a 'cardiac incident' in 2012 and now walk around with a couple of stents so I know a little bit of what you went through. I was told something that might help anyone reading this who finds themselves experiencing symptoms that indicate a heart problem: sharp pain, sweating, dizziness etc. Obvi...

Re: Shading etc using oil paints

If you already have the oils, well that's that. But IMHO they're really not necessary anymore. Using thin glazes of acrylics, do just a good a job, and they don't take "forever" to dry. Ian, on You Tube, gives an excellent tutorial - https://youtu.be/JK8bw98Sn9E Good tutorial but I don't ...

Re: Painting styles ?

The last time I went to a modelling contest - Euro Militaire, admittedly not garage kit orientated - I thought the figures would probably look better in photographs than 'in the flesh'. I don’t actually like the very precise, almost cartoon-like, way that many prize-winning figures are painted, ofte...

Re: WIP: Daddy Figure

http://dclough.org/hom/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/daddy09.jpg Jeans and belt mostly done except for the buckle, briefs and the embroidery. I airbrushed the jeans and the cybernetic arms of the man and the dog. Meant to zenithal shade them only but I, ahem, got a bit carried away – kept adding more ...

Thanks, Ric! If you're interested I'm keeping a more detailed (i.e. long-winded) WIP on my site too :)

WIP: Daddy Figure

http://dclough.org/hom/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/daddy01.jpg New project – Keos Mason’s “Daddy Figure”. I’ve been wanting to have a go at this for a while. First impressions: the production is absolutely superb. Came in foam lined case with extra foam padding in delicate areas. Small parts individ...

Re: WIP: The Butcher

scuzzfink85, Kev, Ric Thanks, guys! I enjoy looking at WIPs myself because it's always interesting - and sometimes instructive - particularly if you're honest about the f**K ups . I started doing them on my site a few years back and more recently started putting up edited versions on my favourite fo...

Space Animals

After a longish break from doing any painting due to an ulcerated foot (basically I had to stay off my feet for two months or risk pain and swelling), I’m tackling this great set of animal astronauts sculpted by Raccoon Miniatures. I've seen versions of these done in bright primary colours with all ...

Here's the second of my Jordu Schell busts: Supreme Intelligence.

Still a WIP. I airbrushed the skin textures today- now to do the shading and the eyes.
