Many, many thanks to you one and all :thumb:. You guys are the reason I'm back to painting again and you're also the reason I'm enjoying it so much more now than I ever was before. Matthew, Anthony, Joe, Ed and Tommi- Thank you sooo much. Just a few more tweaks and then on to the ground work...

Thanks Greg :thumb: Jim Patrick

Thanks Tony and Dave. Don't strip it Dave. Get another one and compare your differences. OK, not trying to drive the post count up here, but I'd like your opinions on the different photography. I still have a LONG ways to go for taking decent pictures but all things with time.... At least the...

Nicely done :thumb:. Nice clean, crisp painting. Well done all the way around. Jim Patrick

Very nice job on the red coat. What colors did you use here? I really like the 75mm scale for figures. I just have a few 54mm figures to finish up and then I can paint a 75mm figure I recently bought. Jim Patrick

OK, I found something Im worse at than painting....photography! Give me a little while. I'll work it out. The figure is "nearly" done. Still have to do the groundwork. For that I still need to get a few supplies. No rush. I'm enjoying taking my time. I still have numerous little things left to...

Friggin sweet! Do you have more pictures of it? Jim Patrick BTW- Congrats on the Cards win. I hate to say it but.....I told you soooooooooo ANOTHER EDIT- Ok, I'm blind. I saw the link now.....

WOW! That was AMAZING to look at. Those poor souls. Things like this need to be seen in order for people to appreciate the very freedoms we hold so dear to our hearts. Not just in this country. But everywhere by everyone. Jim Patrick

One of my all time favorite figures. Very nicely finished and painted. Have been seriously kicking around the idea of painting this figure again. Jim Patrick

I'm looking forward to it. 21 years this Nov. It's time to see what else life has in store for me. BTW- THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! To all that have served either in the military OR the public.....THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! :notworthy: Jim Patrick

Nope. Thanks for asking. Some "other" things came up outside the military. That and my back said "no way, Jose". Well....maybe it was my SGM that said that but....I'm getting my retirement in order now. Time to move on to other things in life. Jim Patrick

Been there, done that. STILL trying to get all my stuff back... Jim Patrick

Found this today on Archer Dry Transfer's website. This shows the anatomical dimensions for painting eyes. Also, if you prefer to use a decal, instructions are here as well for placement and trimming of the decals. All in all, I thought this was quite informative and, while I don't use decals, I...

Stephen, terrific painting :thumb:. But why does the bust remind me of you? Were you the model for this sculpt? :) Jim Patrick

Man, I'm excited and I will not even be there :( I wish you guys the very best of luck and I'm sure everyone in attendance will enjoy this. Make sure there are plenty of pictures so we can all sit back in envy at the fun you will be having! Jim Patrick

Has anyone tried using inks over an acrylic base yet? Much like the videos produced by Michigan Toy Soldier Company,used the Andrea products and was quite satisfied with the results. I have since been looking at some more inks at my local art supply store. I have to say I will be using these...

Re: News Andrea Miniatures How did I know Kurt Neuman would be painted in red? Very cool looking figure. Even more so now with paint. Hmmmmm I already have some ideas Tommi Worton....where are yours? :whistle: I'm sure we'll talk about these in the near future... :lol: Really? I think Andrea...

There is this on Michiagan Toy Soldier's Youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/MichToyCo Have a look through there. There was a 6 or 7 part video on painting an Andrea bust. Also, there was a seperate video on just painting eyes. The paints used in the bust painting series are the...

Geeez,I'm feeling cold just looking at this fellow. Great painting and execution on the snow and the whole atmosphere of the figure :thumb: Jim Patrick
