Hi Malcolm Welcome aboard, I hope the leg is a lot better, you could try importing the images at the bottom of the post or using links to photo bucket, try not to make them too large in pixel size or resolution, they will display ok... Dave

Nice work

I knew this would grab your attention Brian, I see a little problem with the left wrist, nothing a bit of putty wouldn't sort out Nice figure Dave

Hi James Verlinden figures and sets are ok to good, sometimes the sculpting can be a bit off, but some of them are a good start, some of the best figures for the WW2 period are alpine miniatures, they are also not too expensive. Go with the Verlinden for now, but you will want to move on to...

Hi James When using a retarder, don't add too much, just small amount, just slow the drying down. You can use a hair dryer to speed the drying a bit. As far as figures are concerned, what's your main interest or subject, there are hundreds of manufacturers out there, but my main suggestion...

Hi James Your methods are not wrong for you, as everybody paints with a slightly different method to each other. The one thing I have seen many times is the loss of fine detail when using acrylics with too heavy a base coat, I now use a quite thin mix for base coat so I don't fill any of that...

You are talking to the wrong person here about the wrong person. I nor John Rosengrant need or warrant comments like that, if you spent a little more time painting something instead of insulting people maybe you would have a better opinion of yourself, then maybe you could put up a post that...

Paint figures of a subject that grabs your interest, it could be a subject that you haven't even considered or a subject that you have seen many of, it's your choice, there are plenty out there.

Hi Mike I got these at the weekend, cracking stuff mate. Please can you give me some idea as to whet the materials for the flight suits are, as I have not see this type of over trouser before, I can see the heavy cotton flight suit on the guy on the left, but are the over trousers made from...

Mike thanks for that, I will look for the set at the weekend, although I have done the ar changes to the dog now, and a little work on the snout, thanks again Dave

I have been very lucky to have already got this, I decided to add a little something from the parts bin, I found a MvR Moritz to go along with it, I know its not perfect match for the breed of dog, but its close Gonna call this “The Eagle and the Hound” Dave

Thanks very much guys Dave
