Too bad it's so far from El Paso. Would LOVE to link up with guys that paint. It's a shame we're in the same state and the drive makes it almost impossible to attend. Kinda like being in another state out here. Hell, It's almost in another country! Jim Patrick

:eek: Hmmmmmmmm. I like your way of thinking. But we would have to have some "reference material" readily available. Books just wouldn't suffice, we would have to have a "reenactor" come to the workshop.....:love: Jim Patrick

WOW! I wish my grey army waved at me like your's does. Geeeez Carl, that's looking really good. Jim Patrick

Wondered about this one myself Tony. Most shows, Chicago included, have lighting that is no where near what we use to paint with. I was an alternate judge at Chicago once (a rewarding experience I reccomend all figurist do at least once) and I have to admit, I did not see anything other than the...

Oh, how I miss Bavaria..... Jim Patrick

Good points Glenn :thumb: IF a 75mm figure is chosen, why not this figure as well? http://shop.shopthunderbird.com/product.sc?productId=15&categoryId=5 This would add the dredded (by some) color red. Another great sculpt by Anders. I too fully support getting the figure from Thunderbirds...

I was a bit relunctant to post this originally but....here goes. I'm of the oponion that the choice of the figure should be driven by the focus of the workshop (point #5 in my post). I also feel that a bust may not be the best choice. The larger scale will demand more attention to detail. I'm...

Nice work on the cape :thumb:. I really like that. The figure is turning out quite well. Now if only we could get Joe painting again......:whistle:. Would you mind sharing what colors you used on the cape/cloak? If you could, tell us how you painted this as well please. Jim Patrick

Steve, I am 100% behind this idea and it is absoutely fantastic to see so many other clubs, organazations and individuals continuing this "workshop" theme. Before I (or anyone else) weigh in with my opinion, I guess a few questions need to be answered. Some of these (not all inclusive) are...

Thanks for taking the time to tell us all about the show Jim. I'm with you on not seeing a need for a seperation of like minded individuals. I think the judges at a show like Chicago are more than qualified to judge a piece based of it's merits and workmanship involved. Hopefully these...

I do agree with Enion on a few points. Not taking any author as the gospel (I'm a firm believer in devoloping your own style) and you need to be careful with books authored or written decades ago as the hobby as moved forward in light years. I will say this however. Shep Paine's book is as...

Julio Cabos...Dallas? Next March? Did I miss something? Jim Patrick

I like your scoring system. It gives the reader of your reviews a different perspective and a "point system" can tell the reader right away what the quality is. I especially liked how you rated the transaction from the website to delivery. Now readers can also see the "review" of a paticular...

Tony and Pedro, Thank you for your best wishes and yes, the people in this hobby are TRULY amazing with what they will do for you. Stephen, My friend, it has been WAYYYYYYYYYYYY too long since we shared each others company. You and Ray are two people who I can TRULY call a friend. Rest assured...

That's the way to go. Too many painters try too hard to "copy" a certian painter. Learn the techniques and adapt them to your own. Well done. Jim Patrick

Are you not going this year Alex? Jim Patrick

Very nice looking figures Tony :thumb: Please explain how you did the groundwork for the Volunteer Cav figure. That is some really nice looking groundwork. The Vionlinist- Why the greentones on the flesh? It's still a nice looking figure and it appears as if there is a paticuliar effect you...

Intresting points. The figure I'm working on is Andrea's 7th Cav Trooper. I have painted the eyes but after reading your comments, I will probably go back and paint them again. The figure in question is a little difficult for eye painting due to the brow is a little bigger than normal because it...

Just trying to see what the general concensus is for the public here when painting eyes in 54mm. You have the school which says only a black (or dark brown) eye is needed as you really can't see all that detail anyway. You have the school which says paint the eyes as you would normally paint...

Huh? Is the sky falling? Did someone part the red sea again? :lol::ROFLMAO: Hope all you guys have fun there! Jim Patrick
