    Painting Figures With Acrylics

    I have the Painting Horses and The Golden West books in these series and I have to say, although very inspiring and nice books to have, it wasn't elaborate enough to my taste to be usefull in actually teaching me techniques. This may very well be diffrent for others so in that aspect it's just...

    Completed A few older mini vignettes.

    I like them a lot! I seem to have the same interest of subject like you do (US WWII and mid/late 19th century USA) so this was a treat. Thank you for sharing!

    Completed Critique Francois l'Ollonais

    Why would you want to emulate some other figure painter when you got your own style and obvious high painting skills? Great job on a nice figure Marc.

    BRAVO-6 US Military Police

    Great Figures. Maybe it's just me, but the standing MP seems to be wearing a M42 Paratrooper uniform (aka M42 Jumpsuit) which became obsolete and was replaced by the M43 uniform medio 1944-45. http://www.101airborneww2.com/uniforms.html Replacement M43 Uniform at left/M42 Uniform at right...

    WIP WWII US Packhorse ...Division

    Looking forward to Steven Spielbergs take on the book Warhorse myself! Might be a while I'm afraid, no pictures available yet, not to mention a movie trailer. Stirrups will be gone in future pics.

    Tankers of the 761st Tank Battalion, WWII

    Very cool figures! As said before, the painting of the skintones is outstanding.

    WIP WWII US Packhorse ...Division

    Looking at it now, with your pointer, the stirups really look out of place. Thats great, because its comments like these that focus on making a better model. I think I tried to look around it because removing them means damage to the basecoat. An objective observer just goes right down to the...

    WIP WWII US Packhorse ...Division

    Nice picture Eric! I didn't know special packsaddles existed! I may remove the stir ups, I havent decided yet. Maybe I'll just leave it this way as being somewhat of a makeshift packload on a riding saddle. The other side might contain the tripod for the .50 cal. and a ammocase maybe. Or a tarp...

    WIP WWII US Packhorse ...Division

    Not sure which American WW II division this could depict? 10th Mountain Division? 5th Mounted Reconnaicance (hate that word) Division? Any Division which used packhorses in rocky terrain I suppose. Hope you like the idea. I'll be trying to get some life in this little vignette. I would love...

    "Open de Bretagne de la Figurine 2011" show

    Very nice part of France, whish I could go. If anyone is going make sure to visit Locronan aswell. It's a middle ages vilage which doesnt alow any traffic inside. Guaranteed to inspire the large group of figurine modelers and painters who like to depict this period in time. Click for pictures...

    US Cavalry Officer Finished

    And it's much appreciated Marc, no use in putting work up if you can't take critics to learn from. These are actually done in Humbrol enamels, the horse was also done with oils. I'm sure I could learn a lot more to become a better painter, and I feel I'm right in the process of that. I'll have...

    WIP From Russian Cossack to US Cavalry Officer

    Thanks Bill, glad you like it! :) Rene, I just bought a collection of some 20-30 horses and a series of very beautifull EMI and Andrea Miniatures 'Indian Wars' and 'Wild West' figures and Dragon's Civil War Union Troopers from a TWENOT member which I'm very happy with. It also includes a white...

    WIP From Russian Cossack to US Cavalry Officer

    The drills I bought a few years ago (and seem to have misplaces) are about the same size of drill's but won't fit my scalpel 'holders' but I see what you mean. Even if it would, Im not sure it doesn't make the hole to big (inspite of the small boresize). I'll run into a good drill eventually I...

    WIP From Russian Cossack to US Cavalry Officer

    Thanks for the input Rene, nice seeing a familiar face 'overseas' ;-) I'm affraid I would not have a clue to what tool to use for drilling such small holes. I'm the kind of guy who owns a hammer, 2 screwdrivers and a dull handsaw I'm afraid. Thats it :-) I've been looking for a small hole...
