Hi Pascal, Thanks for the comments. This particular project is more of a major conversion rather than a full sculpt. For example I used a kit torso from a DML german soldier. I removed all the neck detail and cut it off at the waist. The bottom is again a part of a kit from another mounted...

Hi Steve, Thanks for the feedback, I thought the arm was a little long but it measures right. I will see what it looks like once I prime it and paint it up. Cheers Ray

Hi There, The build is 98% complete. I need to put epaulettes on yet but going to wait because I need to put "LSH" letters in 120mm on them. I'm still trying to figure that out :) I'm going to do a final cleanup of the horse and prime it in the next couple of days and start painting. I will do...

Very nice Cheers Ray

Cost perspective how does these brushes compare to W/N Series 7 or Da Vinci? Cheers Ray I answered my own question a lot cheaper :) Any distributors in North America ?

Thanks Guys, Sippog the link was excellent, I've bookmarked it and will be printing it out. I'm in the research phase now to settle on the design. Drawing it first on paper is an excellent approach, if you can't draw it you won't be able to paint it. I'm almost ready to start painting on my...

Thank Colin, Got to say its a long build but I really like doing Canadian subjects and mounted figures. 120mm is my favorite scale and its getting harder to get it seems so I grab what I can. For the moat part to get both conversions are required. Once I get this guy done got another mountie...

Hi There, One of the things I struggle with is painting details such as designs. I see all these beautiful shields, banners etc at the shows and amazed at the level of detail. I'm about to start a project 120mm where the figure will be wearing a North American Native/Metis buckskin jacket. I...

Hi There, Got some more done tonight. - Got the first stages of the saddle built - Started added the gear to the trooper with the first stage of the haversack, gas mask pouch on the back, and canteen on the left. I just tacked the bugle to get a sense on how I'm going to have it hanging on...

Hi There, Got to the bench for a little bit the weekend and got some more done. - Completed the sword to reflect the 1908 Other ranks Cavalry pattern. The blade is made from sheet styrene cut down and sanded to shape. Also the guard has been filled in with putty and sanded to reflect the full...
