Nice work- I can't wait to see it up close- Matt

Here is some more work on the Life Miniatures Battle of Britain bust. I've done the eyes, and most of the face. I added the earphone sections of the flight helmet and started painting leather- which one of my favorite materials to paint. It's a bit sloppy, but it will improve....I pre-shaded...

Hey Matt, if all goes according to plan I should have this at the SCAHMS show in April. I will deliver to the collector later. Matt

Here is my latest work- Life Miniatures Battle Of Britain Pilot. Nice kit- very dynamic subject. I started with the dog- a Cocker Spaniel. Fun to paint. A little more work on the face and eyes, and highlights here and there..............

I did this figure a while back- I undercoated with silver then applied artist' masking medium (probably the same as chipping fluid) Then sprayed the color- then picked it off when dry. The medium can also be used for simulating many layers of paint- just paint-apply-repeat. The masking...

Love all the tones. Great so far- inspirational. Matt

Excellent

Jason, awesome work so far Matt

Fantastic work, better than the original figure Matt

so it looks like ALL the Templars are covered now.. At least we could get creative and start swapping heads. Matt

Nice work. The diorama tells a story and has excellent composition.

Cool stuff Dano. I like your rendition Matt

Over the past year I have seen the price of sable (Kolinsky) brushes double. Then you can't find them... Winsor Newton, Da Vinci, Raphael, etc. So I did some poking around. Well our government is involved (US) -Surprise! Surprise! Sgt. Carter..... "Don't worry- I'm from the government and...

Yes, they are Arms Corp. The decals on the radio set are part of that too. Well, not a silly question at all. I base coated the figure with flat black. Then I added large swaths of tannish color. Then the green was added. I then added the smaller patches of brown. I had to constantly go back...

Here is a figure I just finished... sorry no WIP. Its Young's Navy Seal Vietnam. Fun one to do- all acrylics. I hope you enjoy it- Thanks, Matt

Nice work Dave. Matt

Thanks Ben. I don't leave it set up all the time, it's pretty easy to set up once I am painting for in-progress shots. No, I do not use the on camera flash, just the two speedlights. Newer Canon cameras will let you control off-camera flash (their brands) throught he pop-up flash though. but...

Here is a thread I just posted on the photo setup I use. http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/photo-setup.61815/ Yea, I think the Model Cellar Figures are great. The guy who does the masters is pretty good too! :)

Below is a picture of my photographic set up. I have labeled the picture to show the components. You can use any DSLR camera that will take a hot shoe mounted flash transmitter for the flash. You can also use any manual flash that can be triggered by the receiver. I use a Canon 430EXII for...

So far, so good!! Keep going! Matt
