Pegasus makes another cool UFO:

Reminds me of an old kit I made as kid:

We like horses.

This is pretty funny. While searching for the above picture of a Marine I found this movie for sale on Ebay with the attached picture advertising the movie: http://cgi.ebay.com/Wake-Island-1942-DVD-NEW-WORLD-WAR-/140392768490

You will have some problem with that as the Marines in 1940 had the old style helmets and were primarily issued Springfields. The MP kit from Airfix had the later helmets and Garands. You can get the helmets from the Brit kits but no Springfields unless you can get them elsewhere. Those kits...

Fabulous subject and great execution.

Too cool!

To paraphrase Dr. Strangelove, "there will be no fighting in the military miniatures forum."

We like surprises.

Are you going to use resin to actually make the part from the mold?

Just superb.

Best of luck in continuing this valuable resource to modelers.

Stop worrying and experiment more. Much will become obvious after some trial and error. Semi cured epoxy is very easy to bend. It is a good idea to practice techniques as much as possible to obtain good results.

I believe he said he is just using the Celluclay for the groundwork. The putty on the figure looks like MS, Milliput or similar.

First, roll the putty out in thin sheets. There are several ways to do this. One way is to put the putty between two sheets of wax paper that has been coated with talc to prevent sticking. A wooden dowel or large paint brush handle can be used to roll the putty out. I use an ink brayer I bought...

Yes you can use them like that. Just make sure the base layer is completely dry especially when using enamels. You can even put acrylics on top of oils if the oils are thoroughly dry. I have done it many times. Actually for oil painting having a nice base of acrylics or enamels provides a good...

Drying time of paints: Acrylics - fastest Enamels - slightly slower Oils - slowest Obviously if there is not enough time before the paint dries to blend then that technique will not work. Blending with acrylics is done by creating an optical illusion by painting in successive thin layers of...

Yeah, I don't think many people know the arcane methods of illustrators. Working with insane deadlines and having to be able draw just about anything an editor wanted on short notice demanded having a huge resource at your disposal. If you couldn't do it you were never called again. And there...

The nice thing I found about using existing sculpted figures as reference is that you can see them in all three dimensions as opposed to photos which only give one view. When I first started sculpting I took a figure I liked and tried to copy it exactly. This eliminated a lot of guess work and...

Talking like that will alienate other posters and it is not the tone desired to be established here. If you have a problem with any specific poster take it offline. That is actually a great place to get people (male, female, children) in various types of clothing. JC Penny catalogs are another...
