Apologies for the question. I'm sure it has been covered. I did search the site over and never really got the answer I was lookign for. Can someone give me the basics of blending acrylics, esp. in faces? I have used oils up till now, but want to give the acrylics a try. Got the Andrea face...

I finished up my scratch built hull section and also the 1/2 figure of Lt. Dixon. I am still developing my oil painting skills, so I keep experimenting each time. I'm satisfied with it. Sorry a few pics are a bit blurred, my camera is not the best. Tuck

This is my in-progress scratch build of a Hunley hull section. Base kit is the Military Miniatures Warehouse Lt. Dixon w/ partial hull. The base kit hull is just not well formed, so I set about making one. It is a balsa core with sheet styrene glued over it. I have added about 400 grant line...

Very difficult site to navigate.... ...hi there, I really like the Spartan busts, but am finding the navigation of your site very difficult. Are there different language options? Also, I cannot seem to get anywhere after I add something to my cart, plus I cannot read the text, so I don't...

It's Fine Scale Modeler (FSM) magazine Great Scale Modeling (GSM) edition 2004. Here are a few pics of mine.

Bandits! Hi there, I built this one a few years ago and it was one of my first figures. The ammo box in question is an emergency back-up box of ammo. If this was being used, the poor fella as OUT of ammo. I wish Verlinden had provided a photo-etched ammunition guide track instead. Still...

Having developed an interest in Greek Hoplites after seeing "300" and after purchasing 3 Mini-Art kits of 1/16 Hoplites (Spartan, Athenian, Greek) plus 4 Osprey books on the subject, I now have a few questions and requests for info: 1. Almost all the books, references seem to agree that...

It took a long time, but this guy is finished. There are flaws, but I'm, happy with it and I learned alot! The shinyness is due to a lack of a dullcoat, as my spray booth and airbrush are still packed from a move. Bryan Tucker

Hi all, I can't remember if I have posted this here before, so my apologies if I have. It's a 120mm vignette of Nemrod's Rogers Ranger and MMW's Joseph Brant (Thayandanega) coverted to an Abenaki. Base is Basswood with celluclay, a piece of granite, static grass, etc. Acryllic base...

Hi Walt.... Bryan Tucker here... It's somewhat close to Garland. Take I-635 West to Preston Road exit. Go north. The shop is at the southwest corner of Preston Road and Campbell Road in Plano. I will e-mail you a Google earth view of the map. Bryan

Hi all, I'm new to the Planet. Al LaFleche pointed me in this direction. I have done about a dozen figures now, so I consider myself as Dark Side in Training....:-) Comments welcome. Verlinden 120mm Nemrod Ranger and MMI Joseph Brant (as an Abenaki here) 120mm Mirage 1/9 Fallschrimjager...
