You're just plain cruel... But you may be right... I'm gonna go check... Thanx brother!

Super creepy... I love it!!!!!! Great idea and fantastic execution Bravo Colin

Very nicely done Steve. Great dynamics. Excellent figure! You may have two adult bevvies... you've earned them (y) Colin

Oh Paul, if only it were so easy. I can't leave it alone... I just can't! I know I have it! Not being able to find it will drive me stark raving batshit bonkers. Now I also question my memory of the book's title and that will drive me even more stark raving batshit bonkers... I can't afford...

Oh don't you worry Paul, your absence was most duly noted. Tsk tsk. Your name has been added to the list. It was mostly a post show debriefing... and Xmas pizza blast (ne ner ne ner neee nerrrrr) Have a good holiday season, may the yule fires stay contained in their hearths... so you can...

I have been searching the black hole that is my painting/recording room and damned if I can't find my copy of the Cornwell waterloo book:mad: I will find it damn it!!!! If I don't, I will feel like I lost my mind :wtf: ... we can't have that, no, we can't :bored: I will find it! Colin

Nicely done Anthony, flesh beard cloak metals... everything turned out great! Missed you at Sundays meeting... you know ur daughter will have one of those birthday parties every year right? It's no excuse for missing club chapel lol Good job on this guy Colin

Is this a second Waterloo book by Cornwell? I have one of his also titled "Waterloo Companion"... an overview of the campaign and the three battles with a lot of references from contemporary diaries. Not sure exactly when it was published but it's definitely not 2015. I like his writing style...

My own lack of posts is evidence that I too am... Blocked. Tis the season? I've been wrestling with Ellie's Zouave pair for the last few weeks but I'm not sure how I feel about the current results. Very frustrating indeed! Prepped another fig last night... Maybe a change will get the juices...

Great work over all. Face is excellent... blues are very smooth... detail is very precise. Top to bottom, great work!!!! Colin

Looking good Alex. I'll be following closely as I wouldn't mind taking a stab at this one too. On you go then Colin

Or can you?

Interesting break from your usual subject matter.... they look good! I'm also glad to see they're not... well, you know, "that colour" Colin

Cool little project Colin. Great detail work on the collar and lapels. Are you doing the second figure in the soft cap as well? T'Other Colin

They are a blast to paint... great little sculpts! I did both of these ones recently... have a third primed and the face started. A great series of busts... will you be doing more of them? Colin

Beautiful brush work as always Roger. Maybe in the near future we might see something off your bench that isn't blue? :sneaky:;):p Nice job Colin

I use Apoxie clay or Magic Sculpt for groundwork... I generally scratch the hell out of the top of the wood then drill random 1/8" holes around the top on different angles. I apply a thin layer of MS, pushing it into the holes... before it sets I start adding more layers to build up the shapes...

Fort York in Toronto, Ontario, Canada... Some sections of the refurbished Fort York as it was circa 1812. It's right in the center of downtown Toronto... so if you can, try to ignore the raised highway, the CN Tower and the ugly condos being built around it.:(:mad: Colin

It doesn't take much for things to get weird around here... just a nudge and the freak flags unfurl! :woot:

Of course dipped in satin varnish first
