Saw this and thought you guys might find it interesting. Jim Patrick http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-11288684

Hmmmm, the rest of the YouTube videos didn't appear. Not sure what I did wrong but you can see the rest under the suggestions on the side. Jim Patrick

Here is one I found pretty useful. Not the "Holy Grail" of painting DVD's (are there ever any?) but really not that bad. http://www.mxpression.com/dvd-en.html You can probably find it in nearly any online figure store. Additionally, there are these YouTube videos (bare with me, the list...

Certainly looks good to me! Two things. One, I see a mistake I make frequently. When painting flesh (except the face, which yours is quite nice) keep the shadows and highlights to a minimum. The rest of the body doesn't get all the shadows and high lights the face gets. Again, I make this...

VERY good points Mark! Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Jim Patrick

I have heard that MM, while they do have digital contents, it is not downloadable. Is this in fact true? Can anyone speak with any authority on this? To me (read MY OPINION HERE!!!), if a magazine has digital content and that content is not downloadable, it's defeating the purpose. I understand...

Ok, maybe I was asking the wrong questions in my previous thread. http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/some-questions-for-the-masses-ref-figure-magazines-and-articles.52297/ What to YOU constitutes, or makes up a good article on figures? Specifically, what are YOU looking for? Jim Patrick

Blind Pew, I agree with you. That's pretty much why I started this thread. I feel that too many figure related magazines rely on the same publication "model" that was succcessful 10 or 15 years ago. Why hasn't Figurines realised there is a need for another English speaking magazine is beyond me...

Not quite sure if this has already been posted or not but looks pretty cool. Jim

OMG....did we really just go to Monty Python? :LOL: GREAT song btw..... Jim Patrick

Colin, Nap, Carl, Keith, Steve and Andrew, thank you for your responses. I do agree with all of your thoughts. Like I said before. There are no right or wrong answers. These are simply your personal opinions and you are more than entitled to them. I know that many manufactures read this site as...

So what, if anything, would make you want to purchase a magazine or an article Colin? What is it that "jumps up and grabs" you and makes you say, or can make you say, I want to buy this because.......? Jim Patrick

Was having this discussion with a few friends recently and I was wondering what your thoughts are. Specifically, what makes you inclined to purchase or not purchase a magazine or an article. Is it the price? Where you feel the articles do nothing for you and you just wasted your money? Are...

I too have often wondered about the size of these elephants Enion. I have read some things but rather than (mistakenly) recall from memory, I will copy and paste from wikipedia. "The Ptolemies and the Carthaginians began acquiring African elephants for the same purpose, as did the Numidians...

Try Verlinden. They have a lot of floors and most, if not all are resin. Jim Patrick

While I agree there are enough SS and Roman figures (even though I do like the Roman figures). The question should be what sells in this tough economy the world is facing right now. True, there are a lot of figures subjects that are sorely missed. But, what really sells these days? If company...

Interesting Enion.... Jim Patrick

Thank for the replies. Painting the grain.....DUH! :blackeye: Why didn't I think of something so simple? :whistle: The figure in question is Andrea's 54mm Viking seated in a chair/ throne. It is actually made to look like Beowulf from a movie. The back of the chair has no detail and I thought...

Got a question for the masses. How would you go about carving woodgrain into a piece of bare metal? The piece of metal is rather large (the back of a very tall chair) and I'm just wondering how you guys would go about doing this. If possible, can you please attach photos to help me visualize...
