    3D Printing -is that the end for sculpting?

    Lemme guess, you're not on Facebook either? :D Yep, for a lot of models production will in essence begin this way. There's already a fair amount of stuff produced digitally and output on 3D printers, and via other means. I don't think there's any question that eventually it will supersede most...

    SCALE75: SCALECOLOR!!

    More paint Mr. Spielberg! There really does seem to be a glut of paints these days, but I presume they don't think the market is saturated yet and there's room for another player. Fairly safe bet Johan. Einion

    What's the best way to make Gambions

    I should have been more specific: what's the cream of tartar for in this mix :dead: :LOL: Coincidentally I happen to have some of the Dr. Oetker stuff in my cupboard. Einion

    What's the best way to make Gambions

    Not sure if you've seen this old print showing gabions being made by zouaves Colin, thought it might be good inspiration: As in Keith's post I'd start by drilling holes in a piece of ply or something like that to hold the uprights in place during the forming, also means you can...

    making convincing barbed wire for 120mm

    I think 6 thou would be perfect for many examples of barbed wire - 2.4mm at full scale is right on the money. Previous thread with links on to another thread in case it's of help with the method: http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/making-barbed-wire-sbs-for-german-pow.42824/#post-437198 Einion

    Mussini Headsets.

    They were very nice, at one point they were the best heads available of that size. If you're looking for sets where the heads are a little larger, so 1/30 scale or close to that, I think there are still only two main options, the ones I did for MIG Productions and the packs from Historex (the...

    New to miniatures - What you need :

    There is no best, but there are certainly better that The Masters; despite what the makers would like us to believe there's really nothing that special about it, side-by-side comparisons with common soaps show that conclusively. I've got no problem with Dettol, that could be a great addition to...

    Best Resin For Casting?

    Thanks for the tips Moz. What's cheap in this area? You can do that with a domestic vacuum cleaner :) Einion

    Life Miniatures New Release

    That is just fab :thumb: :thumb: Two options on headgear and a bare head is just icing on the cake, would love to see that more commonly on busts. Excellent work, hope it sells well for you! Einion

    Acrylic Paints

    These are usable for figure painting, just about; as a demo I painted the bust in my avatar using craft paints for everything except the metallics. But they have some problems, notably with coarser texture and low opacity for some colours (the brighter colours generally but especially common...

    Best Resin For Casting?

    Rich, these'll be one-sided castings right? I doubt you'll have much issue with bubbles then but just in case it's of help, if you pour from a height the skinny stream stretches and bursts many or all of the bubbles if there are any in the resin. You can also do a basic vacuuming job at home...

    Thoughts About Base Coats?

    Yep, I think that'll be most of it. Have you tried both approaches yourself, if so any conclusions? I've never been much of a fan of basecoating the whole figure but really that's just because I didn't start out working that way, there are certainly a few things to recommend blocking in the...

    WIP German Para ,russia,1/16 Figure

    Andy, apologies for this, have to say something. Gellso, I don't know you, your background or anything, but you seriously need to take a long look at how you post sometimes. If you'd just left your reply to Jason at the opening joke that would have been great, disagreement but upbeat tone, no...
