Cool subject, Simon! I look forward to following this one, too. Prost! Brad

Most people probably just post finished work in the Completed Works subforum and then they're done with uploading. I think that's more visible than to post in their galleries. Prost! Brad

As far as washing parts is concerned, if you choose to do so, you want something with a de-greasing agent. The purpose of that step is to remove mold release agents from the piece; more generally, it's remove any other kind of schmutz from the surface. So, more specifically than "soap", I...

If you thin the primer just right, you should be able to brush it on so finely as if you had sprayed it. Just like finish colors. Prost! Brad

I do finish the figures I start, though some do take longer, with a hiatus. In scale models, I have a true Shelf of Doom, builds I started, then lose interest in for one reason or another. I have a 1/700 USS Pennsylvania I started in 2010, got assembled, and it's been sitting in drydock since...

Maybe Dana Delany, rowr! :D Prost! Brad

Good likeness of Powers Boothe. Prost! Brad

Another outstanding finish, Simon! I think each is a little more refined than the last, too. Well done! Prost! Brad PS-I'm filing away notes in my head, too, for reference.

Must have been stinkin' hot for him in that uniform, in that post! :D Well done, Simon! Gotta go on now and see your finished presentation post for the Spanish officer... Prost! Brad

Nice, Simon! Watching the final lap now. Prost! Brad

That's about how long ago I first saw a video on YouTube for the MakerBot printer; maybe a little longer ago than that, early 2000's. That one came as a kit, with a laser-cut plywood cabinet, and the mechanism, which was extruded styrene at that time. As a demo, they printed a TARDIS in around...

Congratulations, Melanie, and beautifully done! I especially like your metal finish on the cuirasses and helmet. Something that is quite tricky to achieve realistically. Prost! Brad

I'm sure there are others who play historical games, but I'm also sure we have a growing contingent who play fantasy/sci-fi wargames, too, whether it's Warhammer or other types. Prost! Brad

Do the Japanese firemen still get tatoos? I know that back in the day, they did, over large areas of their bodies. I think the custom was to help identify them if they died in the course of carrying out their work. Prost! Brad

For anyone who's interested in scale models but isn't aware of this resource, the wiki Scalemates is a good one for reference. If it has a drawback, it is that it is a wiki, it is maintained by the members. So the info is only as up-to-date as what they post. But it's generally very good. This...

Great progress with these details, Simon! Prost! Brad

Welcome to the Planet, Vlad! I look forward to seeing more of your work. Prost! Brad

For those of us who don't speak Russian, I hope this helps: "Hello world! We are the company "Triumph" from Russia, we make a game military-historical miniature from rubber plastic, the main scale is 1:32, 1:30. We work with many excellent sculptors. This work by sculptor Stepan Nikolaev is...

A great pair of subjects for your next project, Simon! I was off last week and part of vacation time these days is staying offline as much as possible, so I missed your initial posts. I'm getting caught up now. I always enjoy your in progress threads to see your techniques-and your solutions...

Thanks, Karl! It would have taken me a little while to track that down. It's a relatively commonly-overlooked detail. If I'm not mistaken, there was a mounted figure of Willy released within the past 3 or 4 years that had a similar oversight, and his left arm was the same length as his right...
