Thanks Derek. Anyone with an avatar like yours has to have a great outlook on life:ROFLMAO:

We all love ya, Gordy, it's thanks to you we've made good friends and can enjoy this hobby so much:) Plus you keep us from hiding in our studios and becoming part of our grey armies:ROFLMAO: mary

I also have the white set, which as mentioned above, give great results if you sneak your own mixes in between, such as lightening the highlight mix gradually for smoother transitions. It's a good base to start from. Haven't tried the blacks as I mix my own, but may invest in the flesh set. Mary

Terrific job, Chris. Reminds me of the old 'grizz' hunter in Jeremiah Johnson! Well done, especially the skin tones. Mary

Just beautiful, David(y)

Hi Spyros, wonderful job on a great figure! I often use oils as I'm still learning acrylic techniques. I put my paints on a piece of cardboard (the brown type used for boxes) and a lot of the oil drains away, leaving them still workable but with much less 'sheen.' Give it a try:) Looking foward...

Thanks to all of you; I live in the country and there are all kinds of leaves, trees, woods, etc. I never would have thought of the tea leaves and oregano...so I'll raid the cupboard and the back woods:) Thanks also to Zeno for the link! Mary

You will be the first to get a photo when he's done, Stu:D

I love Russell Crowe and I love this figure..trouble is, if I paint it he won't look like Crowe:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Wonderful offerings from a great company. Can't wait to see the versions of the Samurai from Planeteers, it's an awesome sculpt. Mary

and mine:D

You guys keep raising the bar, especially on Romans...fantastic work Eduardo. This is the standard that really helps us newbies improve(y) Mary

Jazz, I wasn't sure what to choose as I'm totally new to groundwork...I think you're right, I should have torn it up a bit more. If you have suggestions for my next 'shopping list' for accessories, my local shop can order whatever they don't have. I got some long grass and it looks like doll hair:(

Geez guys, painting these little 54mm figures is hard, even with magnification!!...he's from Andrea's Golden West Series and I did my best on the flesh tones. Added a bit of 'war paint' around the eyes and on his shoulder; the box art isn't the greatest but I did my best. I had fun with the...

Tony, all that work and difficulty paid off. I hope I live long enough to be able to paint like this. Just beautiful(y)(y) Mary

Hi Alan This was a really interesting thread, you've done a wonderful job so far. If this happened to me, I'd have had a coronary. The help you get on PF is like having the guys around your bench til the problem is resolved:D Looking fwd to seeing this finished, cheers, Mary

That's a great tip, Martin, thank you. I'll see how it all balances when I get that far:)

Hi Zeno Stuart Hale of Stormtroopers... he has a website and here's his email [email protected]

Hey Colin This is really coming along, huge advances in your work. I have a set of Stuart Hale's printer's inks, they are awesome and I wonder if some of the colours, (brass, bronze, gold, silver, old gold, old silver etc) would work with Napoleonics? I can see where they might really help these...

That's precisely why I made the point. I am in no way skilled enough to bend the legs. Horses are my specialty, I rode, drew and painted them for years, so I know if I bend the legs to fit those holes, even if they don't break, no real horse could stand like that without wrenching his haunch...

Mountain men and Native Americans, Voyageurs and First Nations in Canada...can't ever get bored with that subject matter(y) Great review, Guy! Mary
