Always nice to hear about good service like this. Einion

That looks superb, what a great start! I love that you can't tell what pieces are commercial and what you did yourself :thumb: :thumb: Einion

That's a lovely classic paintjob, neat and clean. Jesus, I think the sash should be a little more toward magenta in hue. Einion

In terms of deliberately avoiding it (as opposed to just not knowing about it) same reasons anyone avoids any forum - not your scene, don't like it/the owner(s)/the crowd, time pressures only allow you one forum and it's a different one, or simply that they prefer somewhere else. And there is...

That's a nice piece, I'm sure we'll see a lot of these on the tables in future! Einion

Wow you're old if you had a descendant who fought at Bunker Hill :D That is some lovely work there, I think the drapery/wrinkling is especially fine. Einion

Nice to see a version of the figure, haven't seen one in a while. That grey turned out nicely Edward, very smooth. On your photos, they're quite grainy and it gets in the way of appreciating the paintwork. There is software that's amazingly good at removing image noise but it's better to not...

This is actually the thing to try to avoid having in the first place - prevention is better than cure. I'd recommend setting up a double-bath rinsing system (two jars of water) and learning to use it religiously. Regular, thorough, rinsing makes a huge difference in how clean your brushes stay...

Fair enough - always worth keeping an eye out for prices in a bricks-and-mortar place that can compete, with the advantage you mention. Proxxon then :) You are right, a well-made motor tool should last and last. Mine (old Minicraft) is around 23 years old now and still soldiering on and it...

Great to see this cast up Andy, that coat texture looks awesome in resin. Best of luck with it! Einion

From the heads you've shown in this thread there are a few things I think you might benefit from paying attention to now, early on. #1 is eyes in general, might be a good idea to practice just eyes for a while. Or do smaller projects where you'd do more eyes in a shorter timeframe maybe? #2...

That turned out quite nicely, eyes are a bit close together but well within the variation possible IRL. You may want not quite that much emphasis on the sternomastoids, on a female subject in particular as they're generally more gracile. Einion

It can be. Some people swear by them but others have bad experiences, which initially led me to being suspicious that there was some variation in the soap itself that maybe accounted for the different opinions; but there are many variables. Bottom line with the soaps themselves, many are not...

Never seen one of those before, looks interesting! Not cheaper to order online? Einion

Great pose Carl, and the overall dynamism looks dead on. Einion

Where are you based? Might help to get recommendations specific to your location ;) Einion

That looks excellent, really nicely done. Out of curiosity why 1/30 scale (57-58mm)? Einion

The face came out particularly well, this is about the best I've seen it look :thumb: Einion

FWIW I'm fond of buff. Nothing against the other colours, although the white seems the one that would be the most bland/boring. Einion

That's a great start. I imagine you're an expert on his facial features by now! Einion
