In 2 weeks time, I shall FINALLY be able to again attend the show that got me started on figures 13 years ago. Back then, I hadn't the faintest idea who Shep Paine and Bill Horan were, and had not understood the significance of meeting brilliant artist like Emmanuel Valerio. While my ability...

Hi guys, Does anyone know when registration for the Chicago show take place? The MMSI website only gives the show schedule but not details on how to register for event , dinner, etc.... Appreciate if someone could advise. thank Basil

Carl, Do you ever sleep???? Your output is amazing. Especially when considering the quality of your work. And I'll like to ask Danilo the same question :-) ~ Basil

C',mon. That must be a real head. You don't have to tell us what you did to the rest of the body :-) Absolutely brilliant!

Hi Carl, I'm interested. Will drop you a mail. Cheers Basil

This only confirms that figure modelling is for tough guys :-) Looks like someone should market a new insurance policy. Tommi - u wins hands down!

Hi Carl, PM sent. Am interested. Best regards Basil

Bust?.......hmmmmmm.......yummy....

Yes. They've disappeared along with my money. And the money of several people o PF. Ignored all my attempts to contact them. If anyone knows where to find Bill Love, do let him know there are people out there looking for him. BTW, is "castration" spelt this way? ~ Basil

Hi Stephen, On a more serious note, this is really a brilliant job. The pics however seem to show the uniform with a satin sheen. Is it the lighting or due to the Vallejo paints? I've had this problem of sheen with certain colours and wonder if its due to insufficient mixing of the paint...

Actually he took a paint marker and painted his face around the goggles. He should have just used some foundation powder from Maybeline. This is of course after he changed into a new set of uniform. BTW, that's just what my son did a few days back when he wanted to look like a superhero...

I'm a great admirer of Carl Reid but wish he had done the Zouave in a different pose. The pose is too similar to the Sapper Corporal released by Elite Miniatures years back which several other manufacturers have also tried to imitate. Would also love to see less figures with ramrod backs and...

Great looking figures. And check out the detail on that MG42 on his website! Jeff's style seems very similar to Maurice Corry. ~ Basil

I think Derek Hansen's one of the key guys at Accurate Armour. Just saw a recent posting from him on Missing Lynx. He's one of my favourite sculptors and my favourites are his Uhlan for Poste Militaire (now re-released by Elite Miniatures) and the German officer mentioned in this thread. I'm...

In uniform with Crown Princess Cecilie Ken, Brilliant! And a wonderful choice of subject. So will you be doing one of Princess Cecilie??? http://news.webshots.com/photo/2735311950100532270JVnxvx Cheers Basil

Hi Mitsutaka, Lovery as usual! My only feedback would be to encourage you to try a different groundwork. Often, I can identify your figures just by looking at your groundwork. Given your talent, I'm sure any other groundwork you attempt would be very impressive. CHeers Basil

Hi Jim, Have sent you a PM. Cheers Basil

Hi guys, Would anyone be able to post pics of these bust? I'll love to see them (especially if anyone has finished works to share). I was only aware of 5 released by FD so I guess I missed out on a lot. I was fortunate enough to pick up the Kansuke bust years ago. Started but never finished it...

Hi Dan, There's one of the this figure that pops up on ebay regularly. Don't know if its an original or a recast. Try looking there. Cheers Basil
