Hello everyone, I would like to share some pictures of my last bust - the Pegaso Lansquenet. The figure is completely painted with acrylics. I followed the boxart quite closely. The project was a way for me to try out some acrylic techniques and different textures. Comments, remarks and...

Hi David, amazing work on a complex figure. I also do especially like the groundwork. Are you participating in the Nations Cup with that figure? Best wishes Mark

Hi everyone! Thanks for the kind comments, I'm happy you like the bust...and I will probably leave of the helmet.. Mark

Hi everyone, here are some pics of my version of the very popular and outstanding Avalon bust from Kraken. It's completely painted in acrylics. It was a joy to paint, as the bust is extrmely well sculped. I'still not sure if I should add the helmet which is included. Comments are welcome. Mark

Hello Thanos, thanks for the details about the documentation. Really a great figure and there seem not to be many miniaturists capable of scratching such a horse. By the way, does anyone know if the Uhlans did also wear gasmasks (in action) - are there any photos showing that? Take care...

Hello Thanos, great work, I love the mouvement and the whole composition, reminds me of the old Derek Hansen piece but I like your horse pose even better. Could you give some details regarding the uniform documentation, sources etc. and which horse you used (is it scratch). Best wishes...

Hello Sebastien, Jason and Gary, thanks for your kind words. Gary: the problem is how to fix the figure properly to the ladder, therefore up to now the tube seemed the most suitable solution to me. I'm still right at the beginning, what would you suppose instead. Do you think it might look...

Hello everyone, here are some pics of my current sculpting project. My third scratch figure will be a Prussian infantry man standing on a ladder after the canvas "Le Bourget" by DeNeuville. Hope you like the beginnings. Comments and criticism are welcome. Best wishes Mark

Salut Jean Paul, thanks a lot for the detailed explanations. Although I'm not painting in oils this is very interesting. I'm really motivated to try out a different lightning scheme on one of my next figures. At the moment there is a certain lack of creativity in painting styles so it is nice...

Hello everyone, some time passed the figure is painted by now. I was not able to correct all of the "anatomy errors", especially the shoulder, but I will be more observant to anatomy next time. Painting was done with a mixture of enamels and acrylics. Hope you like it. Best wishes Mark...

Hello Jean Paul, very nice painting and I think you really got that night feeling. Could you give some more details about the technical aspects. How did you shade/ highlight, what kind of lighting scheme did you use? What colours were utilized for the casted shadows. A bientôt Mark

Thanks for the kind words! Joe, you are right, I took an older Bill Horan figure as example - although of course I will never come close to Bill. Jay and Stephan, it is true that the right hand and fingers still look weird, I will rework this but I really had trouble sculpting the hand and the...

Hi everyone, this is my second my second figure nearly from scratch. The head is a Hornet item, the rest mostly Duro or a mix of Duro and MS. Hope you like it. Painting is on the way. Criticism is very welcome. Best wishes! Mark

Hello Marijn, you picked out some of my favourite figures, too. I liked the vignette as for the tight composition and the way the space of the base is used to its limit. Really gives the impression of hand-to-hand combat. Nevertheless the painting could not really match the composition and...

Thank you all for your kind comments! I really enjoyed painting a flat and I was happy to have pictures of the original painting as some kind of reference for light and shadow. It's really a different experience to painting round figure. I'm planning to put the figure into a small frame in...
