    HI That looks very good. That's a Beneito base for a British soldier, right? How is the running figure? Andy

    Figurines #52

    Hi there. I'm not sure if anyone posted the contents of issue #61. I can do that if anyone's interested. Anyway, #62 arrived in the mail yesterday, and here's the lowdown: Cool cover, as always, showing a vignette by some guy named Bill. Won best of show at the contest in Gérone. (Girona if...

    Forge world - new release.

    Very cool. The link provides lots of photos. You'll see he's cranky because of the g-string he's forced to wear! :lol: :lol: That figure is 125 quid though!!!! :o There are some really nice "Elysian drop troops" among the other new releases from Forge World. The detail looks very good...

    Sculpting & Painting a Prussian Jager

    There are a lot of posts like that here too! Shep Paine's book has a good description. I find trial and error have improved my skills with eyes, and I'll have to try Bill's approach now. Andy

    Always go right?

    Too true! That's the problem I had with the figure I've given up on. Repeated dry fitting and long preparation, then I had him mostly painted. Adding the arms after painting led to accident. Paint rubbed off. No problem retouch. Problems fitting the arms. Refit. Fix. Retouch. Much cursing...

    Always go right?

    Hi Bob Well said, although I have given up on one model and one figure thus far (not counting those in progress that have been that way for months/years!!!), and that was because it was no longer fun. This is a hobby for me, and after I repainted the surcoat twice, and had the figure fall...

    Books for sale

    Hi there. Some recent purchases/gifts have made these extras. Osprey: These are all older editions, in good shape, but some shelf wear and yellowing of the covers. Napoleon's Hussars (Men-at-Arms Series, No 76) by Emir Bukhari, Illustrations by McBride (old edition, 1978) - Minor water...

    Mike Blank

    Hi Mike That's great idea! I'm sure the finished figure will then be a convincing representation of someone in motion. You are right, there are a lot of 'drawing the sword' figures out there. And this way perfect alignment isn't needed!! :lol: Andy

    Mike Blank

    Superb!! The faces and poses are inspiring. For the first figure pictured, the officer drawing a sword, the scabbard and hand aren't lined up. Is there a reason for that? Andy

    Mags and books

    Hi Tony I think Figurines is the best magazine out there. It's in French, but the photos are superb. Historical Miniatures, Figure International and some others are other figure-centric mags. And usually, you can't go wrong with the occasional Osprey book. Books by Rousselot, Dempsey...

    Ft. Duquesne 79th Cameron Highlander

    Hey! I'm the world's slowest painter!!!!! :lol: I have that figure. I like your choice of setting for him. I have looked at the casting a few times since I got him. The proportions are better than shown on the cover art, but his left arm still bothers me. Do you think it's too skinny? Just...

    Polish Lancer

    Hi Jim It looks great! As a Vallejo rookie I don't know them by number! I'll look them up. Thanks for the tip. And the game got a bit dull by the end, except for those Eagles fans! :lol: Cheers Andy
