You might want to correct his left arm, too. If you look at your photo references in your earlier post, you can see how the left tunic cuff lines up with the right shirt cuff. The bust depicts these as if his left arm were of normal length. Martin Rohmann addressed this in his build of this...

Welcome to the Planet, Ernie! I started out with oils years ago, but I also used acrylics of various kinds, enamels, and lacquers. That was due to being a model builder as well as painting figures. I won't say oils or acrylics are better than the other, but rather, both have their...

Slatington! Yeah, just up the road! You might be interested in visiting our Lehigh Valley Scale Modelers, then, too. We meet every other Wednesday-ambitious schedule, I know!-at the Catasauqua Borough Hall at 6:30PM. You are cordially invited! Despite the name, we cover all interests...

Welcome to the Planet, Steve! Where are you in PA? I'm in Bethlehem, and I'm a member of the Miniature Figure Collectors of America (MFCA). We meet monthly at AAA Hobbies in Magnolia, NJ (outside Cherry Hill, and not far from Philly), and we stage an annual show. If you've never visited, I...

Hi, 4th C! Welcome to the Planet! This is a good puzzle for your freshman post. I broke out my Rose catalogs to have a look. I found them in vol. 6 on pg. 56, under "British Troops - America Revolution" series. The figure on the left is Rose's BAR 1Ge, Coldstream Guard and the other is Rose's...

Welcome to the Planet, Mike! What sort of subjects do you like to paint or collect? I look forward to seeing your work! Prost! Brad

Thanks, Martin! That makes sense. The Jäger is Bill Horan's piece, if I am not mistaken. Prost! Brad

I did a little more searching and found pages for Warwick at the current Phoenix website. They do have some frames in 1/12 scale, here: https://www.phoenixmodeldevelopments.com/acatalog/drawing.html They are true frames, unlike the old 54mm pieces that Phoenix made. That is, they do not have...

Thanks, Karl! Yeah that wouldn't surprise me if it were. I just saw a photo of another diorama, on the Figure Mad Forum, of Prussian fusiliers storming out of a gate. I thought those might have been Hecker & Goros in 54mm, but it turns out they are much larger, and scratchbuilt. Prost! Brad

Regarding Phoenix, there is still a Phoenix Model Developments which produces doll house furniture in 1/12 scale. S&D doesn't have that part of the catalog, but I know that my Phoenix searches on eBay return the items. I think this was part of Phoenix Model Developments' catalog, though someone...

And the Shep tribute flat is very cool, too! Prost! Brad

Thanks for sharing your photos with us, Karl! Do you happen to know any more information about the little 18th century diorama, with the lady on a swing? I'm curious to learn of those figures are original sculpts, or commercially available kits or castings. The 18th century is one of my...

I've seen those, too, yes. Prost! Brad

Depending on what you're looking for, Peddinghaus makes sheets of shields in 1/72 scale, that I know of. They might make them in other scales, too. The style is a simple escutcheon, three-sided in shape. I got a couple off eBay to use as unit insignia, 14th century Prussian heraldry. A quick...

I always enjoy this brief documentary on the British beach holiday... Prost! Brad

Welcome to the Planet, Mateu! Nice work, and I look forward to seeing more of your work! Prost! Brad

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

I'm fashionably late to this one, but it's fun catching up by looking at the posts for each stage so far. Excellent conversion work, Simon! Well played on the items people noticed, and very clever techniques from the start, to act as guides for your sculpting and building up the shapes. You...

GEG ("G&G") Miniatures is a possibility, too. I think they're a member here in the Planet, but they are also present in Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/geg.miniatures/, and Instagram, https://www.instagram.com/gegminiatures/ Hope that helps, prosit! Brad

If I may add to Paul's excellent tips... For the whites, I use a very light gray as the basic color. Addressing handedness, I'm right-handed. I paint the left eye holding the figure normally, facing me. For the right eye, I rotate the figure so it's upside down, with the right eye on the...
