Yeah thanks, I was interested in going to a class there at the shop but then they discountinued them. I'll have to stop at the shop one of these days. Yes I know the PE is expensive, I have used it alot on my armor, I think it would work great on shields and such. Thanks Tony

Thanks guys, I never even thought they made PE for this stuff, great, even used as templates I would think they would work great. Does Sentinel carry most everything "figure" ? I am slightly familiar with the company but never really checked into them. Thanks again, Tony

Thanks Keith, I'll try them Tony

Without a doubt, shading and highlighting. I have to agree with Brent too, Heraldry is on the list. Tony

Where can I get or who supplies dry transfers for shields and such?? Thanks Tony

Great is sound fantastic, make a vacation out of it too. Hope to meet all you guys there!!!!! Tony.........

Hi guys, I plan on going to the World Expo in Boston this July, res. made already can't wait. I hope to stay in Boston till Mon. then head to the Cape for another 3 days or so, even my wife is looking foward to it. I understand this is the daddy of all figure shows! I did a quick search for...

Hi Pat, yes I agree. So if I use oils there would be no need for a flat coat? That would be great then I can do the whole job with a brush except for the prime. As I said I am using Humbol's now, can I use Humbrol and oils on the same piece? When I am finished with the Knight I am doing now...

Hi Steve, Yes indeed, I work early AM so weeknights are out for me, I used to go to the NJIPMS meetings but I have quite a few hobbies and there is only so much time in a life ya know. Tony

Ok Keith Thanks, I am now using Humbrol, I will try the oils soon on my next fig. Tony

Thanks guys, As I said I am an oil painter, I can see why you would let the oil seep out before painting with it. As for Liquin, I have to give it a try, I think it would work good. I agree with Einion though, if you do not want to use solvents to clean brushes, any oil, linseed I use linseed...

Thanks Keith and Einion, Keith, I cannot handle acrylics as the drying time is much to fast for me, enamels are better so I am going to try oils even longer drying time. I have trouble with highlighting and shading, alot of trouble, I am working on a Italian Knight now and am trying to improve...

Thanks Lou, I am going to try to make a few if I can Tony

Hi Pat, Steve, Pat, where is the MFCA show, and isn't there a few in the spring. I don't know much about them at all. Except the NJ show in a few months. Steve, No I have never been to one of the meetings, don't work with my sched. I do attend East and the Nat's when I can, I have for...

Hi guys, I am thinking about trying oils on my next fig. I am an oil painter, landscapes, at least I try so I have all the paints and stuff. The question is drying time? I know oils can take forever to dry, how do you deal with this? Also are any mediums used when using oils? I have heard of...

Thanks Andy, Yeah I was checking out Squadron's selection of mags. They all look good to me. Lou, I was saying, I have never been to a NJHMA show, I hope to go this year. I have been to the LI show 2 years back, incredible work there. I am a member of AMPS and go to all the NJIPMS shows...

I think I will stick with the 54mm's Yes Kieth I am 44 too, and my arms are not long enough anymore either. With glasses I'm still OK though. I checked out your bench photo's wow impressive stuff. Are you using oils?? I see what you guys mean about the larger sizes having more to paint and I...

I think I sent you a E mail by mistake, but my comments are in it. Thanks Tony

I have only done 1/35th and 54 mm figs so far. Is it easier to paint say a 90mm than a 54 mm?? I like the 54 as they are small and don't take up any room, I would not be against going bigger if it would be a little easier. Any comments would be welcome. Tony

Thanks guys, When are the shows, I know there a few in the spring. The only one I am definate about is the NJHMA show in Somerset. I do have a few fig painting books though I am not as good as I'd like to be, I am going to try oils on the next fig I do. Lou are the meetings on the weekend...
