    New to miniatures - What you need :

    Echoing all the previous comments (except one about Germans, lol) you need to spend more time in the initial prep of the figure, as someone new, than you do in the painting process. Why? This is where the foundation is set for a beautiful finish and until the "muscle memory" is developed, you're...

    Scale Model Handbook 10, Figure Modelling 10 IS OUT!

    I wish these books were offered in a digital format that I could down load. I'm living in an area where the cost for a book like this (even the shipping) doesn't justify the cost. Jim Patrick

    British Cavalry

    Very nice (as always) Stephen. The trooper on the ground (about to get ran over), what colors did you use on his jacket? Jim Patrick

    I'm Still Out There....

    Just a note to say that "I'm still out there". I haven't been painting or posting. "life" has stepped in, again! I am officially retired from the Army now and the times that I thought would start looking up, well.... they haven't. Still looking for a job (hopefully something will pop up soon)...

    BTW- This kit is listed on the Andrea USA page as 589.14. USD of course. The painted version can be had for only a little over $3,800,000. Save up those pennies! Jim Patrick

    New Andrea Miniatures

    First looked at this and thought, "Wow, that's really cool but I probably won't get it. Besides, it's too much money". The more I look at it the more I like it. There's just so much going on. I doubt that there will be a lot seen at shows mostly due to the price but man it would look nice on a...

    Completed Critique Andrea 54MM-British 15th Hussar 1815

    WOW! :eek: What an AWESOME job on the figure Mike! LOL, you're kidding right?! Well, if this is a result of you learning to paint again I need to go back to the drawing board. Your reds just blow me away. How did you paint these? Acrylics, oils? Please share your colors used. Jim Patrick

    Painting faces. A new free video tutorial

    Great video and thanks for taking the time to produce this for all of us. It took some time and life has this funny way of reminding us where our priorities lie. Regardless, thanks again for taking the time required to help us out. I subscribed on YouTube and added your site to my favorites...

    Miniatures, Alcohol, and One Very Angry Wedding Guest

    You're a better man than me. I would have just taken it out of the guilty party's arse then and there. If the guy was bigger than me, then a tire iron usually does the trick... Seriously, sorry to see that sort of thing happen anywhere these days. Jim Patrick

    WIP Critique some things I'm working on...

    Here are a few things I'm working on currently. The Cav trooper is almost finished (FINALLY!). The Andrea viking only has his chair worked on currently. Only the first coat of oils. Still lots to do. The Dragoon is from Pegaso. Only prime red and groundwork done. Should start painting later...

    New Andrea Miniatures

    It's not so much how they "legally" protect their (as well as others) brand, it's more of how they "protect" their brand. Legal being left out ;). With all that said, yes, there are some bad things they do just as well as some good things they do. For instance, here in the states, when a service...

    New Andrea Miniatures

    That is the biggest problem I see and others I have spoke to see as well. While the figures look terrific, the bike leaves something to be desired. You could either modify (heavily) the bike or build one from scratch. Either way, there's a lot of work ahead to make this bike look as nice as the...

    And would probably wind up getting someone's a$$ kicked REAL bad.... but still it would look cool. If there's a small patch on the front (actually, there should be several) there will be a big patch on the back. Why not Wild Hogs? Jim Patrick

    Looks awesome! I do wish it was an old school chopper though. One question. Are there alternative Harley Davidson's out there that will work in 54mm? Jim Patrick
