54mm is in the 1/32 to 1/35 scale range (closer to 1/32, I believe). Welcome to the planet and good luck with your sculpting. Others here can be of assistance in that department (not me though - I tried sculpting a 90mm blob of putty with less than convincing results).

Hi Glen, Great work on the bust. The shading on the face is really well done. P.S. I was fortunate enough to meet Quang as well at WE 2008 and I was very impressed with his warmth and friendliness towards me, especially as I'm hardly a regular around here.

Looks great, Gary.

Very interesting - thanks for posting.

Thanks for the info, Louis.

Really interesting SBS! Thanks for posting!

That's unbelievable, Glen. We need to discuss this more - I'd be more than happy to get together. I was hoping to do something model related while I was there (thus the hobby store inquiry). Please send me an email!

Thanks very much!

I will be spending some time in Madrid, Spain next month and was wondering if anyone could recommend some good model shops for figures. Thanks, Brent

A company called Eduard came out with pre-painted photoetch for detailing aircraft model cockpits. When they first came out I didn't like them and thought that they detracted from the hobby. However, as they evolved, they began to replicate levels of detail in 1:48 scale (e.g. 1:48 scale data...

As an aircraft model enthusiast, all I can say is, "Wow"!

As others have said above, there are a number of ways to fix the clear part. The easiest is likely to go your nearest well stocked hobby store and buy a Squadron tri-grit sanding stick. Start with the coarsest and work your way down to the finest grit. Follow this up with nice buff with some...
