Hi there! I understand exactly what you're talking about!It feels very bad thinking that something on your figure is fragile.It feels like it won't last for long ;).I had the same feeling some time ago,until I realize that in fact much more things on the figure are fragile,not only...

Hi all! Hi Kenneth and welcome to the planet!Interested in sculpting uh?I wish you a good begining and I hope we'll see cool figure from you very soon! So,accept my advice.I think,if you really want to sculp figures successfuly,you'll have to study anatomy.Try to get an...

Hi there! First chose the point the scar is supposed to be.Then chose the kind of the scar(for example,a deep scar,a scar that left a hole,a scar that left a line of additional flesh,a cured scar or a scar made a couple of hours ago or less etc.). I'll describe how to...

Hi there! Excellent work!I like the result and the way you have worked on it as well!This way you could not make anatomy mistakes! Congradulations again! -Kostas.

Hi there! Welcome to the "sport"!!! :lol: I must say you've chosen a great piece for your first painting:well-sculpted,generaly easy,no flesh,and a "free" subject-the knight could be a Hospitaler or carry more complicated heraldry.I can't wait to see it painted by you...

Hello guys! I have to thank all of you very much for your useful advice!I really appreciate it!I'll have to buy MicroBallons and search for different glues to try all these techniques and I hope I get a permanent effect.I recieved my packet of Art.Snow,but I'll heve...

Hi there! There are different ways to paint heraldry.Some of the drowings are easy,like crosses,and some are more complicated,like the typical animal heraldry. On the more complicated: 1-If you want to use a guide(like the outline you described...)don't...

Hi there! Very beautiful!You've done great work on both tunic and cloak,and the color you've chosen fit great with the colors of your base!I personally don't like the detail on this figure,but with your painting I must admit it looks just great! Go on like that and let...

Hi all! Artificial snow is my favorite effect for bases,but I face a huge problem:the technique I use is applying wood glue to the base and then add the artificial snow.I push gently with my finger,so that the snow granuls stick fine on the glue and cover the greatest surface...

Hi all! Being a poor student like Ross,I don't spend much every month for modeling.I think it depends on the amount of new releases,so the possibility to find something you really like is bigger.Furthermore,I paint too slow,so I have about 20 or more figures waiting to be painted,so...

Hi there! Welcome to "The Planet"!I'm using acrylics and I think I could help here. First of all,in order to learn how to use acrylics you could read an article by Mario Fuentes that exists on "Vallejo Acrylicos" webpage.(Give it a search in Google...). No...

Hi all! Hi Dave! I'm not aware about the subject,but here you are this link: www.elisena.com This is a very nice company in general,but the main reason why I sent you this link is that in this webpage exist links related to the most well-known...

Hi all! Is this all about sculpting a beard on a plastic head?I'm not familiar(I think...)with the materials you described,but I'm sure that it will be done properly using epoxy clay(Milliput,Magic Sculp,A&B etc...).I think the material you proposed is one of them...My favorite is...

Hi all! -Jim!It's my pleasure to help whenever I can,you're very welcome!I get your point,because all my teachers paint with oils and I've always used to paint using acrylics.It needs a lot of free time to paint with oils,since you have to finish an area at once,while the color is still...

Hi there! Ok,unpaint it and start over again...(Kidding :lol:).Very nice so far!Good you're working with acrylics,you'll be able to make corrections and additions.So,based on my poor knowledge,go for it and make a mix of your basic skintone with some brown(Burned Sienna),black and a...

Hi there! In my opinion,although the diamond pattern should be neat on a knight's tunic,you'd better practice it again and again by hand.However,if you choose to use precut tape(which is the best option,but very difficult...),try to be exact with the distances between the pieces...

Hi all! The Viking looks great,too!I'd like to have a copy of this,very "thin" and delicate details,nice pose,nice anatomy! I would add it to my collection for sure! Bravo Kosta! -Regards, Kostas.

Hi all! Kosta,thanks for posting us these photos!Congradulations for Kostas Kariotelis,he once more proved to be one of our best sculptors! However,I'll have to agree with Gary about the torso,too long.I don't think it's the angle of the photo,Anatomy problems on the...
