Wonderful work Ho...very conviencing piece...what scale? Is this a commercial casting? All the best Patrick

Here, here! Right you are Petey...we have to be willing to check ego's, too if in fact what we want to do is grow as an artist and as a community...The only way to grow is to learn is through feedback that enables us to improve. Sometimes harsh and sometimes packaged very well. In any event...

Good point Petey...think that we all could use some constructive criticism if we are to grow as an artist and as a community. What do you think my brothers, Petey, Lou and Larry..? Patrick

Brandy, Nice work...if I could, may I suggest once you have finshed the highlighting and shading that you apply a thin glaze of the base color to blend the highlights and shading together so they arent as stark. The green on the first figger is nicely done and a very tough color to pull off...

Glad to help, Chris...Don't forget that book that Larry gave to you, too. Its an awesome reference. All the best Patrick

Stephen, Very nice...I like the green and red...very nicely done! ;) I can't wait to see this vignette all together... All the best Patrick

Rafa, I agree with Larry...looks realistic to me...I wouldn't change a thing... All the best Patrick

Gordy, I like Petey's idea and the solution you present, too...the best part of this site is the archival system that we can reach back into either from Vbenches or from topics. You are doing great! All the best Patrick

Bill, You rock, and are on track... Your Vet from OIF is the expert and heeding his guidance is spot on! For all the pundits debating this and that about these figures, they need to take a deep breath and realize that it aint a perfect world... Can't wait to see these beautes when they are...

Brother, You slay me... :lol: Charlie, Ok, whatever. I just wanted to clarify is all. All the best Patrick

Good luck, Keith...they key I have found is to remember it's a glaze. Thin is good. You can always go over the highlight a couple times to get the effect you want rather than globbing it on... Hope all is well Patrick

Here is my technique; I paint on an acrylic undercoat first. Let that dry and hit it with a hairdryer to help speed up the process. Then I paint an overall oil base color, followed by highlights, shadows, deep shadows. Once I have the contrast between highlights and shadows, I then go back in...

Mark, Very nice indeeed. Are you an acrylic or oils painter? Your composition and use of lighting compliments this figger nicely. I really like the wing in the background, it gives a very dramatic feel to the piece. How did you scratch build it? Look forward to seeing more of your work. All...

Gary and my Brother, Petey... Thanks for hanging with me on this my friends... All the best Patrick

Look, my point is simple, we have introduced many units from the reserves and national guard to the fight. And, not every unit is modernized with the latest generation of weapon systems at the same time. Also you need to consider the fact that weapons malfunction in combat, they need repairing...

Alright, if you say so, Charlie... All the best Patrick

Charlie, Are you sure about the M249 stock? Not every unit was modernized with the new weapon prior to deployment...It's not too much of a stretch that the older weapon would be used in the early phases of the operation. All the best Patrick

Craig, Excellent description my friend...I would have never guess that Brown Madder Alizerin would give the "cool" effect like that WOW! I'll have to give that a go on the Roman Centurian I am working on; thanks for the tip! I agree, the offwhite compliments the greens very nicely! All the...

Craig, As always, superb! Very nicely done...how did you achieve the worn leather look? All the best. Hope to see this in Atlanta Patrick

Gordy, You and your staff ROCK! You continually say that the success of the planet is its members, I for one believe the real root of success for the planet is everything you, Guy, Anders and Roc do behind the scenes. You deserve a lot more credit than you are taking Gordy. I can't tell you...
