I must disagree about the gear. I find it highly unlikely that a paratrooper, knowing that he's completely surrounded and deep behind enemy lines, would ever take his web gear off for any reason. Leave the gear on the guy so we can have more detail to paint on the guy.

Jim, You saw these on sale in Chicago? I wish I had ;) I think these will look great with Hornet heads on them. I particularly like the Brit para because of the unique ammo bandolier he's carrying. As for the bases, I wasn't impressed at all by them. You're better off getting some...

Jim, Dude, it was a hoot meeting you too. Being this was only your second show, I take it you'll be attending more of them in the near future? Hey, Atlanta is only 4 months away so save your ones! :lol: Besides and as you said, "D-Day" is right around the corner and I'm already in "jump...

It got edited. It "did" say 1998 last night.

John: congratulations on such honor! I too look forward to seeing these pieces in the flesh this weekend. Perhaps I'll buy them ;) However, some pictures that aren't out of focus would be appreciated. I'd prefer to buy any product if I could see them better :o

I guess I'm the only one who's noticed that the Spanish-American War took place in 1898 and not 1998 ... that is, unless I missed something on CNN :lol: While talking about this figure, I think the anatomy is altogether way too thin, even considering the "bulk" of these uniforms on the...

The problem is they look like they're perched at odd angles, making it look unnatural. If there were a way to suspend them in mid-air then .... hey, what about using a thin transparent fiber optic to "pin" them into the rocks? Say you pin each just a few millimeters above the rock. This...

Gee, I expect no less from the likes of you :o :lol:

Sarcasm aside, here are a few brief observations (it's been a really busy day at work and it's not over yet): 1. it appears that he's partially sitting on a flat ledge, leaving his left buttcheek hanging off of it (sorry for the crudeness of my language). If this is so, it would be mighty...

Here's another one I've been using lately: mars black + yellow ochre + tit.white. KeithP - you're welcome :)

As "the Continental" would say: "Wow! Wow Wee Wow Wow Wow!" That looks really good. I particularly like how the heraldry's detail pops out. Way to go!

Sorry, but I still think the anatomy looks way too out of proportion - far too much on the skinny side and in an unrelaxed pose for someone who's kicking back in the company of birds. Take this as you wish, but it's intended to be encouragement towards doing a better job. Thicken the arms &...

I think that the "added mystery" of their painting techniques speaks volumes of their intentions towards being true members of the hobby community. $$$

The issue in question is #38. Sorry, but I couldn't disagree with you more. The article is nothing more than a over-glorified 13-page "rah rah" advertisement for how great the Vityaz firm is. I didn't find absolutely nothing of any benefit for a painter or sculptor of any skill level...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this very same piece advertised weeks ago? if so, then why is it so "new"?

I see another silver medal on the horizon. Outstanding work!!! I can't wait to see this one finished.

Guy, Can you please describe, in detail, your fleshtone painting technique? I'm really curious ...

Try a grain of space dust floating between galaxies. Yes, this is a small hobby indeed.

Steven, A group build? A 'la those on ARC? What does ARC stand for?

Keith, Guess what? The article by Bruno Schmaling on the native American Indian figure is pretty much the same thing - 5 1/2 pages of history and only 1 1/2 pages on painting. Even then, the content on painting the figure doesn't really offer much. I think you'll get more out of Jurgen...
