Just found this! Outstanding effort! You don't believe in making things easy for yourself do you mate? The folds in the lady's gown are spot on, nice one. Matt

Love this! Marvellous idea. Matt

Cheers Peter The arm is ok, it must be the camera angle so I'm going to leave it. I agree with you about the trousers, they've been troubling me for some time, I might come back to these and add some more 'bagginess' I've set the figure to one side for a bit whilst a I deal with some work...

Steve This is looking good mate, the painting of the smock is just the job. Matt

Tony, I checked the figure last night and to be honest the brim looks better 'in the flesh' and when compared to the hat in my collection (I have three, all with differing brims!) it actually looks ok so rather than risk any damage I think I'll leave as is. It'll create a talking point if...

Tony, I think you might be right. I'll check the figure and my references tonight, although I don't fancy trying to shave any off it, I dropped it the other day and the front broke off! Very fragile! This isn't intended to be a commercial piece, I haven't approached any manufacturers and none...

Cheers Jay He's big, around 150/160mm maybe a shade more, I'm told thats' around 1:12th scale? I usually work in 1:35th but wanted to create a piece with size impact. Matt

Finished the sculpting of the chindit. I need to make a start on the groundwork and some japanese items which will be at his feet. Please let me know what you think, I've gone 'blind' from looking at him for so long! :) Cheers Matt

Gary this is superb. Let's see some more! Matt

Oops! I forgot about you blokes. I started this some time ago and wanted to wait until I had something to show you, then forgot. Sorry. If you visit my blogsite you'll need to go back to August (in Previous Posts) to pick up the trial. :) Please let me know what you think. Cheers Matt

For a first attempt this is excellent. As the others have said, the pants and where the shirt tucks into the waist need more creases and folds, this is best done whilst the milliput is still workable with a large sowing needle or such. You need to check your reference photos constantly whilst...

Hi all Decided to take a break from sculpting and try out my newly aquired Vallejo acrylics! Check out my blogsite to see the results, I need to work on my feathering and blending technique but I really like acrylics (not only because there is no smell of thinners!). Anyhow, please let me...

Ha! Cheers Ginger but not for sale! only looky-looky... Matt

Cheers guys, glad there are no major criticisms, sometimes you can't see something is wrong until someone else points it out. Spike: Glad you like the site, it started out as a way to link to my project and it just keeps growing! Thanks again Matt

Hi chaps Eventually got my internet connection up and running and have posted up a few pictures of my latest figure, please check him out at my blogsite and let me know what you think. Cheers Matt

Jon A fantastic project of a subject I'm very interested in as I'm working on my own Arnhem dio at the moment - all be it 1:35th - and I also work slowly, it usually pays of in the end. Will you be scratch building the weapons? Keep us posted. Matt

Hi all Due to my finding smaller accommodation I have decided to try and sell two of dio's. Please see my blogsite: www.accurateimages.blogspot.com for more info. Cheers Matt

Chris The only thing I can see 'wrong' with this sculpt is that its TOO good for your second one! What exactly do you think is the problem with it? Looks fine to me... I wish I had your 'problems'. Matt

Well, I've got so many figures to sculpt, I think I might take a break soon and paint one of these guys. I'm moving house soon (next couple of weeks) so keep an eye on the painting forum in September! :) Cheers Matt

Spike Sorry mate, but no, I'm not making these for commercial purposes. The reason is two-fold: Firstly I'm only just beginning to sculpt and don't think I'm a good enough level yet. Secondly the heads, boots and kit are from other manufacturers (Resicast, Hornet, Verlinden etc) and until I can...
