Very nice indeed Cheers Ray

LMAO forgot about that pic, I haven't been around too much lately finally catching up on the Planet. Grew my beard just for Chicago because I knew Steve would be there :) It was a great show and a lot of fun see you next year and Worlds After that. Cheers Ray

Guys looks like it was a great show. I'm very glad for you guys. I had full intentions of coming and almost had it booked but something personal came up that I had to take care of and kind of cut my funds down. Glad I didnt in a way there some excellent quality there and I may have embarrassed...

Great pics Zeno! It was a great show I really enjoyed myself great to see all my buddies again (yea Steve that includes you too :-) ) Cheers Ray

Great Job Colin, Hope to see it on the table in Chicago Cheers Ray

Looks good Brian Cheers Ray

Hi Richie, Just noticed this thread, this is coming along very well. I'm looking forward to following it along. Cheers Ray

Looking really good Zeno, Great subject. Cheers Ray

Thanks everybody! I will look at the link and maybe pick up the some of the books mentioned Cheers Ray

Just as the title says, I spend hours and hours on a figure but get real lazy when it comes to the groundwork. Anybody know of any good reference material out there that can help to bring it up a level? Cheers Ray

Thanks Brian/Colin, Hopefully I will have the beadwork design done in the next week or so. I think in order to get to Chicago with this one I should be ready to paint in July time frame. Cheers Ray

So I changed the fringe on my mountie. I took your advice Colin and went with each individual strand and rolled the putty to shape then applied it to the figure. I apologize for the pics as I didnt take out my photo booth but just took some quick snaps. I like this better than what I had...

Looking Good Cheers Ray

Thanks Colin, I will give it a try. I usually mix green stuff with aves epoxy but ran out, I will try it with miliput white, might give me a bit more control so I can thin it out a bit. What I have now is the look I'm looking for but in my mind a bit too thick. Cheers Ray

Thanks Dan, Huw, Colin Colin, I'm thinking about redoing the arm fringe to try and make the strands thinner. It takes a bit of patience to get the right shape, after you mix the putty you leave it for an hour to harden a bit, then cut it and shape it, you really only have about an hour to...

Looking really good Colin. The trousers from the pics actually looks like cloth Cheers Ray

Thanks Colin for the encouragement. I was a little worried about the frills on the arms being too thick but in the research pics I was looking at they are actually quite thick as they intertwine, I think when I paint it I may try to simulate that. Right now I'm drawing out the designs that I...

Just wanted to give an update. I started to put the buckskin tunic together and fill out the main body parts. I put the belt and haversack on and started the frills. I went with the long frills from some of the research pictures I have. Comments, suggestions, criticisms welcome Cheers Ray
