Pebeo is a manufacturer's name. They make many paint products. http://www.dickblick.com/vendors/pebeo Without the specific product named it is like saying he couldn't paint without Winsor-Newton.

Excellent rendering from the photo. I admire your work greatly.

I love that Steampunk stuff. Great little figure.

Great stuff.

Another excellent paint is Holbein's Acryla Gouache. A bit pricey compared to Jo Sonya but top quality. http://www.cheapjoes.com/art-supplies/6841_holbein-acryla-artists-acrylic-paints.asp Gouache was the historic medium for commercial artists and designers that had to have their work...

Pretty amazing for a first sculpt.

Great stuff and reasonably priced. Covers great, dries dead flat and extensive line of colors. http://www.cheapjoes.com/store/navigation.asp?cat=7523&page=2&view=all

PlusModel has these: Allied: http://www.plusmodel.cz/karta_en.php?id=128 Axis: http://www.plusmodel.cz/karta_en.php?id=123 I have used other of their products before and they are excellent.

Reminds me of the work of Emmanuel Valerio. What ever happened to him?

I think Lee was probably the best General of the Civil War on either side. I cannot think of anyone who was consistently as brilliant in both strategy and tactics as Lee. He was a master at mobility, finding enemy weakness, exploiting situations good or bad to his advantage, making excellent use...

No problem Jim. I think digression is sometimes more interesting. Every culture needs its heroes and we have many besides military figures. Each of those I mentioned were unique in their own way and I wasn't trying to make an apples to apples comparison between them anymore than red is a...

Jim, if you have not already done so a great read on MacArthur is "American Caesar" by William Manchester. MacArthur, Patton, Robert E. Lee and U.S. Grant are on my short list of fascinating American military officers.

Thanks guys. The Depression was bad news for just about everybody but it is a period that fascinates me deeply. I think there was a closeness of people back then that is lost today unfortunately. Sometimes deep tragedies bring people together like this. One of the things that has to be...

Thanks Jim, I will do my best.

I doubt Mac got that close to the actual melee.

To stay in keeping with the tank it will be 1/35.

My new project is on the Bonus March riots of 1933 that took place in Washington DC. The veterans of WWI were promised bonuses for service and since it was the Depression they wanted the government to pay them right away as many were out of work. The scene will depict a riot in the...

I think the only useful thing is to cast the mannequin parts (torso, pelvis). You can start with cut down DML Preiser, or Multipose figures removing all detail. Then you can use paperclip wire to assemble head, arms, legs and torso to pelvis. From there you can bend the wire to the post you want...

It depends on what the figure is for. If it is just for yourself then usually you do not cast it (these are called one-offs and are typically done by scratch builders). If it is for commercial release then obviously it will be cast. There are some engineering considerations in getting a...

The "green stuff" is called Kneadatite, formerly called Duro. It is made by Polymeric Systems Inc: http://www.polymericsystems.com/epoxies-adhesives/epoxy-putty-tapes/kneadatite-blue-yellow.htm You can buy it here: http://michtoy.com/MTSCnewSite/supplies_folder/Sculpting/sculpting.html...
