Nativity scene Rocco, To see this work from the 6th century is truly awesome! The painting and sculpting is truly spectacular ..... and they did not have stuff like duro and sculptey whose merits we're perpetually debating:) Diego, You are right. I just looked at the Thunderbolt Mountain...

Wonderful likeness! Could you share with us close up of the hair area? Very nice paint job! How did you do it? Cheers Basil

Awesome work Quang. Not just the sculpting, look but also the painting. Is this painted in oils? I'm especially taken by the leather helmet and the choice of colours that blend together extremely well. Cheers Basil

hi guys, I've noticed a lot of the newer figures have pretty idealised poses and body build. Lots of muscles, abs, very grand looking etc. Trim and lean is fine by me but I do feel some of these are exaggerated even though you need to exaggerate a little for smaller scales. You don't see such...

That's pretty impressive. But I must admit I'm suprised it hasn't been done sooner. The technology's been there and toy makers have been using such techniques to copy toys. Now what would be REALLY impressive is if they could reproduce the skin texture on a bust like Roy Hunt's latest! One...

Hi Roy, Awesome! Lovely job! Especially the skin texture. Why does this remind me of Rio Ferdinand (especially the 5th pic)??? Cheers Basil

Whoooaaaa!!!! That's truly awesome. The only things missing (intentionally) are the facial, eyelashes and nose hair :D ~ Basil

Almond Thanks guys! I happen to have an Almond Lansknecht and Irish Kern and I must say i am impressed. I believe these figures are old but are one of those that are standing up to the test of time - somewhat like DF Grieve figures. Some figures from the nineties and earlier tended to be...

SAS bust Hi Jay, Rob, Thanks for your comments. One thing I tried to do was a sunburnt looked. The skins normally a little reddish when you first get a sunburn but after extended exposure, it just gets a darker shade of brown. Rob - I think the lighting for the photos was not very good...

Hi everyone, Here's some pics of a bust painted in oils that I completed sometime back. Would like your comments what could have been done better. I do find it more difficult getting straight lines and finishing touches with oils compared to acylics. But for figures that are 90mm or...

Hi guys, I got this figure some time back. Can someone help me identify the manufacturer and sculptor? Its 90mm. Thanks Basil

Hi Victor, I vaguely remember.... you're from Singapore yourself aren't you? It was probably about 6-8 years ago that we first got in contact. Would love to hear from you what your current interest are and how active you still are. Basil

Hi guys, Thanks for your recommendations. Victor - wasn't it on HMForum that we met? Or was it in IPMS? The figures I have are quite a wide range - but all with surcoats. Among them are Elite's Norman and Italian Knights, Soldiers English Knight, Pegaso's Italian Knight...... I would...

Hi, I am looking for a book with lots of illustration of heraldry or emblems that knights could wear. I have the Osprey book on Heraldry and some others of their books. Unfortunately, there are not very many pictures of shields / emblems, and where they would which knight would have worn...

Just thought I'll share some of my favourites figures out there (no order of preference) 1. Latorre's 75mm Highland Clansman of Culloden from Elite 2. Pegaso's 90mm Mounted Condittierri 3. Kirin's 200mm MG42 gunner sculpted by John Rosengrant 4. Ft Duquesne's Samurai Bust range...

thanks guys. I've dropped John a note. Awesome stuff by Augie. Basil

Hi, Does anyone know what's happened to the Samurai bust series from Ft Duquesne? This was sculpted by Augie Rodriguez. I have the Kato Kiyosama one but would love to get the entire range. I know its out of production but who's got the master, and is there a company out there who may buy...

Hi, I shall be in Germany from 19-24 Mar. Just wondering if anyone knows if there are any shows happening then. Cheers Basil
