Well done! A very creative display idea too.

Nice job! I know from experience how difficult this kit is to assemble. I like the textures you achieved with the armor and fabric. The helmet really looks lived-in.

All I could find was the painting guide from an old figure that says the "regimental device" on the epaulettes were silver. It looks like the device is "RH" for royal Highland. It's funny that none of the reference books ever mentions this detail. Hope that helps.

Hello, I've put up some photos I took last weekend at the 2017 SCAHMS show here: https://www.flickr.com/gp/149194254@N06/0892J5 Sorry I didn't take more (too busy yaking), but I'm sure others will share their photos, as there were quite a few people with cameras and phones at work. The turn...

I have a limited number of resin copies of this unpainted 1/9th scale resin bust sculpted by Matt Springer. Matt offered to create a custom bust as a raffle prize at the 2009 APG Show in Gettysburg, PA and I won! Matt used period portraits (highly idealized) as well as the few surviving photos...

Another beauty David! Nice work.

Thank you everyone! I like your version too James; the arms look very relaxed and natural. Getting the torso and arms to fit together was a real challenge. I too conceived this project as a gift for a friend who is a big fan of "The Outlaw Josey Wales", and this particular example is in his...

Thanks John!

Hello all. Life has distracted me from the hobby for a few years, but I'm back to sculpting and painting and would like to share my latest work. This is a 1/9th scale bust of a famous western movie character ( any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental...wink, wink) I...

Hello Everyone, This is just a reminder that the California Show is fast approaching. Our web site is back up after an untimely absence while the web host upgraded servers. Go to www.scahms.org for more information. We'll have some great work on display, some cool stuff to buy, and a figure...

Hi Chris, You can file and sand clear plastic down to a scale thiness, then use progressivley finer sand paper until the part is smooth and the scratches from sanding are gone. This works best if you only sand one side. Then apply Future floor wax to the part, and let dry. It magically becomes...

Hi Matt, If you want your piece judged on paintwork alone, enter "Painters"; judges in the "Open" category will look at other qualities, such as difficulty, imagination, and overall impact as well. Hope that helps.

Hi Patrick, Notice that most people's eybrows hang right from the edge of the orbital cavity. On my 54's this tends to merge with the deep shadow in the corner of the eye (like what Steven noticed). They usually thin out considerably at the outer edge of the eye. A tiny highlight at the top of...

Thanks Brian, I'll give some thought to those pesky lables. SCAHMS has many very talented and enthusiastic modelers, and I think one of the reasons is the interaction and advice shared at meetings. The high quality of members' work is mainly due to the generosity of our senior members (in...

Thanks Roc, my pleasure!

SCAHMS web site is finally back on line at www.scahms.org . It's pretty bare bones at the moment, but all the basic info is there, plus a gallery featuring some of our lesser known members. I hope to have more features and pages up and working in the near future. SCAHMS web site

It is a Mike French / Tiny Troopers kit, Lt. Col. Douglas, 11th Hussars. Long OOP I'm afraid, wouldn't mind having one myself. Good hunting!

It seems, from all the different techniques in use, that a lot depends on the camera your using. Mine works well with a dark, blue-grey background that I light with a 100w incandescent bulb (sunrise effect). I use two desk lamps with 60w and 40w bulbs above, and on either side, slighly to the...
