Great thread, Paul. I have the old Frankenstein kit from Horizon that I've never been able to paint to my satisfaction. And I picked up a different bust of Herman Munster at the IPMS Nats this past August.

I've looking on the figure forums I follow and have seen no mentions about the 2014 IPMS Nationals in Virginia this coming week. I know that the APG show is the following week and really just up the road but it's hard to believe that no one is going. I'll be there...anyone else? :D Craig

Hi Palo, Thanks for the information. I'll be sure to keep an eye on that site for the Boyington bust release. Best of luck with them all. Craig.

Very nice piece and a great idea doing the MOH series. I may have missed something but is this going to be commercially available? I have a friend who s a former Marine and had actually met Boyington and is a big admirer of his. I'd love to be able to get this piece for him. Thanks, Craig

Just saw this...terrific stuff. Just contacted the company website for more info.

Wonderful...just an amazing piece. (y)

Freakishly cool work!

Very well done! Not my scale but could be a possibility.

:LOL:

Thanks to you all for your help and advice. I'm definitely going to give the hair dryer tip this weekend. Much better idea than trying the Dremel :) Gerald and Ben...I did several Horizon vinyl monster kits a long time ago and yes, they had no seams to deal with. But this kit definitely has...

Hello all, I recently bought a vinyl figure and am having some difficulty cleaning up the mold seam lines. Traditional methods and tools like sanding sticks and #11 blades don't seem to be working well. With it being a heavy walled hollow figure, I'm considering using a tiny bit in my Dremel to...

Thanks Matthew. Very kind of you to say that. Funny thing about that base.....It's the exact same as the basic black bases that Ken Thomas makes and sells. He just tried painting it a different color. When I saw him again the next year at MFCA, he had several of these on sale at a reduced price...

Nice one Mark :) Bagelman....interesting observation there. I think I'm going to obsessed with looking at peoples eyes for the next few days :joyful: Thank you all for the kind comments. Much appreciated. (y)

Hi Pedro, Thanks for taking the time to comment here. You're right, the right eye does look bigger than the left. I have difficulty getting the eyes balanced. Especially when the sculpt of the eyes makes the openings different sizes. After several tries, this was the best I was able to manage...

Great figure...great painting...(y)

Here's my version of the TGB Soviet Officer bust. Tried some new techniques on this one. Primed in black and the original method I was shown for painting the face. Burnt Sienna all over, wiped off and then blending up to the highlights with other colors. Plus, I really tried pushing my contrasts...

I luv'em!

I bought this piece off of Chuck from Red Lancer at the MFCA show last May. Absolutely wonderful. I started it immediately and am almost done (that's really fast for me !). I agree with everything Nap had to say about it. Just beautiful and I couldn't wait to get it on the workbench. One of the...

Thanks, Sturm (?)(sorry I don't know your name). Those are better examples than I was able to find. Based on those and other feedback I got elsewhere, I'm going with the khaki. Thanks again !

I'm currently working on the TGB Miniatures Soviet Officer bust and I'm in need of some help. I've searched the internet for help with the color to paint the trench coat and can't seem to find a definitive answer. I've read that they were grey with a bluish tint and I've found some re-enactor...
