Thanks for sharing all this with us, Bill...incredible work. Real motivating. Larry and I were thinking, how do you find the time to sculpt? How do you maintain balance between your passion for figgers and the other things in your life (golf, family...)? All the best Patrick

Yep Brian, very nice indeed...simply outstanding.... All the best Patrick

Dave, Outstanding...very nicely done. I like the way your reds turned out, and the drama of the vignette. The eyes of the horse really tie it all together. Would be interested in hearing how you did your horse, and achieved the "natural" sheen on the horse. Hope all is well Patrick

Brian, Great work...acrylics or oils? How did you achieve the grass effect..care to share your technique? All the best Patrick

Petey, Give me a call this evening if you can...if not, sometime this week or weekend. I have talked with some folks and think I have a little of what you are looking for. Take care my brother Patrick

Brother Petey, Let me get a hold of my piso in the Regiment...the Rangers have a muesum at Benning and am sure the answer is somewhere in the archives. All the best Patrick

Brother Petey, Gary and Wong, Thanks for the feedback...I am really enjoying this figger! I'll have more WIP to share this weekend... Take care! Patrick

I agree with John; this is a great resource and an awesome exchange! ;) All the best Patrick

Here's a couple updated pics...still a lot to do, just making steady progress. Look forward to your thoughts Patrick

Sean, Do you think that is a casting or sculpting issue? Everyone of the figgers that I have of MRs have excellent cast and sculpted eyes...The best ones I have seen are the Trooper, 15th Regiment Dragoons, Dismounted Service 1809 and the Sous-Lieutenant, 20th Dragoons, Egypt 1800 as well as the...

Evan, Conact Verlinden directly...I am certain that they will see that you get a higher quality figure and replace the one that is deformed, so to speak. If you let it go, then the manufactor doesn't know that there is a problem and also, what they don't know, they can't fix... All the best...

No way, coffee filters? How do they work for you? Very interesting approach... All the best Patrick

Xenofon, I have purchased both Verlinden and Michael Roberts figgers and will tell you that you will be hard pressed, IMHO, to find any better! I think that you will be very pleased that with your purchase from either one of them. Both have exceptional customer service, and althought I have...

Hey Mike, glad that you are here! Hope all is well, my friend. All the best Patrick

Interesting topic...I was actually talking about this with my brother, Larry, and he had mentioned that some folks actually use oils directly over the primer...I would be interested in hearing a bit more about that technique if anyone would care to share. Seems to me that if one is using that...

John, Excellent work...really like the way the eyes compliment the figger...you have really captured the charator of this piece very nicely. Don't forget, once he is all done, to take a lil semi clear gloss, and wipe it over the eyes. This way, the eyes have that natural sheen to them. Your...

Petey and Lou... :lol: You guys slay me... I would love to use some of those shirts, but Lo beat me to them about a month ago...seems she got a call from a shady charactor from San Diego who let on that my taste in shirts were, well, bland... ;) Good call on the PT shirts, those things will...

Thanks Bob and Guy...I'll see what I can hunt down... Bob, Where did you find those Kim Wipes... Hope all is well Patrick

Ok...this is probably going to bring me all sorts of hazing, but I just have to know, where can you find "lint free" rags..? Appreciate the help, guys All the best Patrick
