I believe the toy soldier award went to the South Carolina club. Matt

Here's a new bust that's finally made it to the bench. It's a wonderful sculpt from Y&S Castings. I bought it some time ago and thought it'd be fun to do something with limitless possibility for colors. The flesh is a violet mix made from Ivory, Violet Red and Deep Green. Again in acrylics so...

Hello! I thought I'd post a pic of a new piece I'm working on in anticipation of hopefully attending the MFCA show in May. It's a 54mm figure from Nocturna. I've decided to set him in a little Renaissance/fantasy environment that I hope will suit the mood of the figure. I plan to add a curtain...

Well, I finally got this one done just in time for the Atlanta Show this past weekend. I'm pleased with how it came out. I like how the eagle on the helmet came out. This was painted with a tip picked up from Phil Kessling some years back. To depict slightly tarnished steel, I added a bit of sap...

Jason, Thanks for posting these. This was one of my favorites from the show. Between you and me, the piece also got more than one BOS vote. As always, we appreciate you coming to the show and doing that great seminar for us. I wish my hectic show schedule had allowed me to stay the whole...

Looking good so far, Jim. Great face on that figure! I tried posting directly to your blog, but couldn't for some reason. Maybe I have to be signed in on mine. I don't know. Keep us posted on your progress. Matt

The bust is pretty cool, but not my favorite new releases this time around. I'm afraid.

That's it everyone! The last spot in the workshop has just been filled. I thank you all for your interest and look forward to rolling up our sleeves and getting to it in Gettysburg! Should anyone back out for any reason, I'll be sure and let everyone know of any vacancy. If you'd like...

Only one open seat remaining for the workshop. Please contact me ASAP before we're all full! Matt

Lovely piece! Carl is one of the best! Btw - The link to the Hawk Miniatures website doesn't work on your profile. I believe there may be a spelling error throwing it off. Matt

Hello, everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the new year. I'm pleased to announce that The Artist Preservation Group will be sponsoring a day long, acrylic painting workshop instructed by me on July 15, 2010 at the Wyndham Gettysburg. This workshop is being held at the same venue the day...

Taking advantage of the snow and ice outside to get some work done on some figures this weekend. More progress on Gunther... Matt More...

Great work for a freshman! ;-) What's next? Matt

Really nice work, Jason. You got skills!

Hi and thanks. The inspiration for this piece is Bruce Willis, but from Unbreakable, not Die Hard. I love the film and was looking for a very simple pose. If you know the movie, the train station scene was the inspiration. I've done more work on the likeness, legs and started the shoes which, I...

Wow! These look nice. I'm sure they would be fun to paint!

Jason, I hope you're doing well. I hate to impose on you some more as you're already doing a seminar for us, but Harbuck and I are running the judging in Atlanta this year and are trying to recruit judges. I was hoping you might like to get in on it. We have a team that will be judging Friday...

Here are some pics of something I've been wanting to tackle for a while and never had the time. I'm experimenting with a full figure sculpt in 75mm. This is the roughed in armature that still needs lots of refining. Feedback on him certainly welcomed. The face has the most progress, but also is...

More progress on Gunther.... More...

Here's a pic of some more progress done on this bust. The large scale has been challenging with the acrylics. More smoothing to do and I'm off to Atlanta this weekend for a club meeting and a chance to check on some brass metalizer paints/laquers for the helmet. More...
