Just two years! How many hundreds of top-notch figures would we never have seen? How many pounds of putty would have been wasted or never been used? The generosity of the planeteers in sharing knowledge of all kinds must be giving a turbo boost to every member's skill levels. Many, many thanks...

Blind Pew beat me to that point, but I'll add "when exercising in the bitter cold". We shovel enough snow around here to be familiar with those tones and Francis has nailed 'em in all their pinky-blue variety. Just needs some condensation ice on the 'stache. Brrrrrrrr!

Welcome to the Planet, Marco! :lol:

Here's the link to the sellers list. Lotsa interesting items...

I'll be selling Mike Todd (Speed City) some '70s punk 7-inchers first thing on Saturday- gotta feed the figure monkey! BTW every male in London is named either Mike or Dave Clarke. ;)

Hi Francis. Sorry to tell ya, but we aren't really well-served, figuratively speaking. There's a Games Workshop outlet, an indie gaming fig shop (Imperial Hobbies) which carries GW and a few other lines, and a plastic kit shop (McCormick's) which has the usual Dragon etc. 1/35 and a large...

Thanks, Seth, that finally answers my curiosity. Between you and Joe I'm encouraged to start going blind in a whole new way! :lol:

Microscale Kristal Klear. It has instructions for making tiny windows printed right on the bottle. Got mine at a local hobby shop in the model car department. Here's an interesting link.

Jake and Dinos Chapman are fascinated by the work of Francisco de Goya,and have done a number of pieces based on his Disasters of War etchings from the Peninsular War. They have said that the Katyn massacre of Poles in 1939 partly inspired Hell.

Here's pictures from one small portion of a 1999 piece by English bad-boy artists, the Chapman Brothers. Hell was seven separate cased dioramas, each with a different scene of Nazis being tormented by demons in a Hell that includes a McDonalds. 7000+ figures in 1/35-1/32. The 7 cases fit...

Thanks, Joe! Guess I'll have make an order from North Bay Games & Hobbies now. :) In truth, I've just been eyeballing the measurements on-screen... Even so, their arms look a leetle short to me. Btw, your website's at the top of my bookmarks list.

You can always count on the Perrys for superb work. But why are most sub-54mm figures sculpted in stumpy proportions? These guys seem to be 6 heads high. Even the Perrys' 40mm line is only 6.5 heads high. Thunderbolt Mountain has no problem with a 7.5-8 head ratio in 25 and 30mm, but they are a...

The Good Sarge says it all for me. It'll make the Planet even more valuable as a resource and source of inspiration.

The Perrys have an eccentric attitude to distribution- only one outlet in my province, 6 hrs. drive away. The 40mm figs have less of the proportional distortions typical of gaming figures; they are good-looking pieces, but they still aren't realistic. But you should check out the 54mm WWI...

As I said back in March, it's BEEFcake ;) . The lack of underarm foliage probably makes him look a bit too groomed for the jungle; the facial expression is amazing- you can feel the brightness of the reflected sunlight he's squinting against.

The yellow-green tones perfectly evoke the light filtering through a gas cloud. My grandfather was at Ypres and described just such an unearthly effect.

It's a welcome addition of beefcake to join the Charm (as the Europeans call 'em) lines of figures! And it is a more realistic, and less theatrical, representation of an average soldier's action-packed day's work than we often see.

Wotta cutey! I'm a fan of Tim Richards' work for the Phoenix and Mascot ranges. On a more practical level- doesn't look as if you cook the Sculpey before making the Miliput details. Do you use a low heat, or is the putty resistant to Sculpey-curing temperatures?

Joe spotted it! You can see Horan's figure here.

There's an interesting, if simple, SBS on their site here.
