Nap, I think a table for Planet Figure is a brilliant idea. Not only does it demonstrate this forum's support for the event and its organisers, but it provides an opportunity for forum members to meet each other, and sign up new members.

El Laurens for me.

John, The best thing to do is take them to a professional medal mounting service where the medals can be cleaned and then mounted correctly so they are protected and are correctly presented. As Chris mentioned, sometimes trying to clean the medals yourself and end up causing more harm than good.

Thanks Andrew and Alexandre, I really appreciate your comments gentlemen. Here are the final pics of this bust. The photos were taken while the oil wash was still drying which is why it looks a bit shiny.:facepalm:

Hi Chris, I agree with Alex. One of the reasons I switched from Vallejo to Josonja acrylics about 8 years ago is that Josonja acrylics always dry dead flat. There's never been any need to apply a dull coat to remove shine, because there wasn't any. I apply oil washes over acrylics using...

Billy, that's beautiful. The figure and the groundwork go together perfectly.

Hi Marc, thank you for your comments. I am trying to push myself to improve with every bust and figure. I appreciate your encouragement. ;) Hi Mike, thanks buddy.:) I've attached some progress pics to show where I got to last night. I'm still working on the gas mask, but the rifle and...

Welcome to Planet Figure Jay and thanks for posting your pics of the old Whaler. He looks great.

Hi Phil, thanks mate. I wanted to capture that 1000 yard stare and show that intensity in the eyes. I'm glad you think I managed to get it.;) Hi Erik, thanks very much for your comments. (y) Hi Keith, hopefully he'll get better as he becomes more complete. I'm still working on the shading...

The Romans were producing miniature busts and painting them as far back as 100BC.

A cracker Macca. :p

That's really nice Daniel. So much detail in your figures and in the groundwork.

A great collection Andrew. I wish someone would bring out a bust of The Hound.

Some of the best painting I've seen on this forum Marco. Bravo.

Wow Erik, such a dramatic bust, so full of details. I really like what you've done here. Well done.

Nicely done Jeff. It's a difficult bust to photograph because the face and eyes are focussed downward, but I think you've really captured the look and feel of the character.

Hi Paul, Thanks for your detailed notes on painting this wonderful figure. They were very helpful. The final result is absolutely stunning and something to be proud of. The figure itself is another masterful Laruccia sculpt, but I think your painting has elevated this piece to another...

Hi Chris, thanks for your comments mate. ;) Hi Alexandre, you're too kind mate. I really appreciate our comments. :p Hi Matthew, thanks buddy. Good luck with those 75mm Germans. Carl's a great sculptor and those are wonderful figures you've chosen.;) Hi Chris, thanks mate. The helmet...

Beautifully painted
