I never thought about the " knock offs". Hate these jerks who rip off legitimate business, especially the creatives out there. Thanks for bringing this to light, after a 35 year hiatus from the hobby I would have not thought about this problem. Tony S

Colin; how about a road sign (i.e. Belgium 12km)? or the remnants of a French camp, wine bottles or tin cups? September 1st - battle of Sedan, mud and wheel ruts... Tony

Hi Jim; check this place out, they have the line you're looking for. http://www.greenfieldnewsandhobby.com/ Tony

I hope this is the right forum for this posting. I will be sharing some of my "finds" regarding tools and materials that may not be known to the "miniaturist". Regards; Tony S

Found this app - it is something to consider for macro iPhone photography. It is NOT a replacement for a DSLR w/ a macro lens - BUT, I am amazed at its capabilities. Intended to be a magnifier, but can be used in conjunction with other camera apps. I import the photos to my camera roll, bring...

Very nice indeed! This one is going to be a good SBS! Tony S

Weird, but a neat sculpt Gordy! You have a great eye for sculpting and should keep it going! I tried A&B for the first time (simple 54mm bed roll) and cussed through the whole process, I have no idea how you sculptors do it... Be good; Tony S

Holy smokes John! This is one fantastic figure/paint, etc. the detail is incredible and your blending is awesome. Tony S

Are these still available Bill? I know I'm a few years late, and the email link is no longer current, but would really like to get these parts. Regards; Tony Stencel

Thanks for the kind words! I needed the 2 glasses, one went the way of so many tiny parts, into the netherworld... This will be a gift to my dear old Mum, and "if" I can get it back in October, I'll enter it in the Chicago Show - fantasy/painters division, I think. Tony S

Wow! What are you using for magnification? Terrific, wow.

Really impressive! 28mm masterpiece.

Got to say, one hell of a paint job! Some good advise about the base, I would have done the same. I need to think about the figure, base and scenery as a whole, focusing on composition. Thanks for posting, I learned a lot from reading the comments.

Very nice Carl. The leather is great.

Well this was a challenge. The photo-etched glasses drove me nuts and the elves are super fragile. Please pardon the photography, the figure actually looks better in person. All comments welcome, thanks. Tony

I think I spend more money on "extras" than I do on figures. Great stuff!

During my 4 years at the Milwaukee Institue of Art & Design, I was given one golden nugget of advice: "it takes 2 painters to work on a painting (figure), one who paints it and the other who tells him when to stop..." Happy Holidays to all Planeteers! Tony S

Thanks Marc. Think I'll have to invest in a macro lens. Back in the day, I had extension tubes,2X converters and light meters and could actually take photos of a bugs butt. Love digital, but there are trade offs insofar as equipment.

The lens is a 70-300 1:4-5.6 and has a slide button on the lens for normal and macro 200-300.

I have a Nikon D60 with a telephoto with macro capabilities... I can't seem to get the settings to work. Any ideas?
