Very nice work Jon. Lonesome Dove is one of my favourite books as are the prequels and the sequels! I really like this piece it captures the mood of the book perfectly.

Thanks guys Gary, the torso is from an Academy set that is supposed to be 1/35 but is way over scale. I hope when all the work is done the two halves will match. Frank I used magicsculpt witha little acrylic paint mixed in for colour.

This is a WIP Airfix Multipose figure with a historex head and a preiser left arm, I'm adding putty and foil and might replace the buckles with etched brass. These were the first pack of figures I built and bought in the 70s and the results were thrown out long ago in a house clearance. This...

Here is a previous post containing some tips from Gary Dombrowski on sculpting hair http://www.planetfigure.com/forums/index.p...topic=3856&st=0 Hope this helps

I have read of people having a reaction from handling resin models but IIRC it was a reaction to the traces of the silicone or latex mould still present on the casting. I suppose the first thing to do is wash the model well before handling

Hio Jeff I'm no expert so I'll direct you towards some articles on Camo painting on ML and Armorama that may help http://missing-lynx.com/articles/articles_figures.htm http://hfmodeling.kitmaker.net/modules.php...ions&file=index

What about when you're brushing the putty to smooth it and you lick the brush to add moisture, is that safe ;)

It is the comments block, I had the same problem then I wrote something in it and my application was processed.

Looks great, nicely angled photo too. I like the strap work.

Thank you Gordy, I hope to post more of my work soon

I have a new digital camera, some putty, a large pile of unmade figure kits and some time on my hands which I would like to put to good use. How do I set up a vbench for myself?

A small update Christos I think the legs are the right length it was the angle of the phot that made them look too short for the body. The head is not glued in place and will sit in a bit more.

This is a WIP shot of my figure representing an Anti Treaty figure from the Irish Civil War. On the left is the figure as it is now and on the right a mock up showing roughly what I hope it will look like when finished. Any comments welcomed

Terrific work. Full of Charachter. The guy with the panzerschreck reminds me of the Schnurrbart charachter from the movie Cross of Iron

Dublin airport police are not the most sensitive people in the world. I would write as Bluesking has suggested with the photographs and a description of the officer and the date and time it happened. Threaten legal action to recover the cost of the model.

Very nice work. I like the angle of the figure to the ground. The helmet conversion also looks good. I have tried converting WW2 helmets back to WW1 and they always end up looking like Samurai helmets.

I borrowed a good digital camera to take some shots of my work and like you I was horrified to see the results. So I'd agree that a camera is an essential tool for self criticism. But I would go digital, the difference between my praktika (+ extension tube + close up filter) and the Canon...

They're a sherman crew of the 3rd Arm'd div Belgium September 1944 having their photo taken after coming out of action. That's it I'm afraid. No big story, no big historic event. Just a still life with miniatures

Lots of great advice there thanks everyone. They are supposed to be posing for a photo something like this one. But after reading the advice here I have been playing around and come up with this. I have replaced the sitting figure as he wouldn't fit on the tank. Nothing is settled as yet but...

Which composition for my Sherman crew do you think works better? I'm strongly thinking of leaving the seated figure out.
