    ODA the fierce Samurai limited Edition by Scientificmodels

    another great review from you, I'd somehow missed that one. At least on the El Greco bust it seems the right hand sculpt is pretty close.

    ODA the fierce Samurai limited Edition by Scientificmodels

    I'd say the bigger problem seems to be the right hand. Might be the angle of the pictures but it seems to be sitting with the palm on top of the handle (tsuka) of the katana. If this bust is intended to show him preparing to draw the sword, then the right hand should approach the tsuka from...

    Review PLAMAX Kamakura Period Armoured Warrior

    Great review Felix, I also bought this kit, partially with a view to upgrading the head of my old Taisho figure which I always thought was a weak point. Thanks for flagging the decal sheet which I wasn't aware of. I sincerely hope this isn't your last review, I have learned a lot from you and...

    I invite everyone to discuss the price for the Samurai archer

    sorry, but i wouldn't buy this figure at all. The horse's legs look like it is rearing on its hind legs rather than galloping. Weight, if on the back legs, should be primarily on one leg more than the other to capture the weight transition back to the front legs. Also, shooting from a saddle...

    New Samurai Archer from Talant S Miniatures

    Glad to see someone finally getting the horse right for a mounted samurai. I'm no sculptor and certainly no horse sculptor, but I would say however that the actual pose of the horse looks a little off to me. The front legs appear to be in position for a galloping horse whilst the rear legs seem...

    Ronin - 3D Bust - by Hellbender Museum

    Lovely figure and likeness. I agree with Yellowcat on the Katana length looking possibly a bit long for an effective draw and the curvature does look a bit much (maybe warped resin?). To elaborate a bit for those interested but not necessarily that familiar with Japanese swordsmanship - Tachi...

    WIP DOUGLAS MACARTHUR

    I love the leather, always did worn leather using oils dragged over an acrylic base before but this seems to give more control over the end result.

    Major, 2nd Bn Royal Munster Fusiliers, 1899.

    stunning, the handling of the flesh and the red tunic is flawless. I much prefer this style of painting to the heavily contrasted busts which almost convert 3D back to 2D representations. Out of interest what did you use to shade and highlight the gold braiding?

    Captain Scarlet - Sevans - Colonel White

    Hi Chris, I spent many a happy hour in that shop scouring for rare kits. I still have some of the kits Tony and Comet produced like their Robby the Robot and one of their Dalek kits (a bit smaller than the Sevans ones but far easier to build). Although the shop is gone Tony is still trading...

    Captain Scarlet - Sevans - Colonel White

    As promised, the instructions for Kryten, They are well worth a read for the humour but also include some good tips - they assume you are building a vinyl kit.

    ENTER IN INTERMEDIATE Class FOTM April '21 ends midnight BST 30/4

    Some of you may have seen my "Blasts from the Past" post where I was also inspired to start this old Poste Militaire mounted samurai. Here it is finally finished. I think I finally got close to the effect I so desperately wanted to achieve when I first painted this kit as a teenager. Far...

    Captain Scarlet - Sevans - Colonel White

    Sevans did some fantastic kits of UK Sci Fi subjects. Here's their Kryten from Red Dwarf. This was originally released in Vinyl but I managed to find one of the few versions they issued in full resin. The instructions for Kryten are hilarious. I'll post them up if I can dig them out.

    Captain Scarlet - Sevans - Colonel White

    Thanks Brad. Sevans stuff does show up on Ebay from time to time but they are not cheap. Their old Dalek kits were highly detailed but by all accounts well nigh on impossible to build. I looked at the old Imai Captain Scarlet figures and the Sevans ones are in a completely different league in...
