Hello people, Got a little "bogged-down" with the dragon slayer figure, but thought I'd post some pics of it as far as I've got (in the hopes that i might get the inspiration back to do some more work! ) These pics are a lot clearer than the old "hold it over the scanner" method, so you...

Hello, Most of you will have seen this figure before, but I've been trying out my new toy so I thought I'd post a pic as a bit of a test of the camera settings & whatnot! Groundwork is nowhere near finished & the figure isn't attached as yet Cheers Simon

Hello strangers! Been really busy @ work the last couple of weeks so i've had absolutely no time to spend here :angry: Never mind, back now (& I opened my Xmas peressie early) Sooooo, heres a pic of one of my other "works in Progress" It's another 90mm fantasy piece, eventually the figure...

OK people, You may remember I asked about painting blonde hair a while ago, and here's the reason why! I've tried to do this with Citadel acrylics, but just can't get it right! (the rest of the non-flesh areas are/will be painted in Citadels) so I'm thinking of wimping out & going back to oils...

Hello, following on from Rob's question (sort of!), does anyone else build up their armatures on diagrams/drawings? I'm looking for a better one than I'm using at the moment (see my response in Rob's thread) but can't find anything worthwile on the web :( (& money's too tight to mention - to...

Hello all, What would be a good material to bulk out a HUGE armature? I've got this (probably far too) ambitious plan in my head to build a dragon & rider in 90mm :o The plan formulating is to build the armature for the dragon as almost a full skeleton and bulk out the "thick bits" with...

Hello all, Just noticed that Gordy's put the option of entering your full name back on the personal info & it now appears in your details alongside your posts. Nice idea! I think it'd be good if we all did it? (unless you've got something to hide of course ;) ) might go some way to enhancing...

For those of you with children that aren't old enough to buy Xmas presents on their own, how about this? Buy yourself some nice figure kits/paints/paintbrushes or whatever you need, then give them to the kids to wrap up for Xmas! you can always feign surprise!! ;) My kid's (6 & 10 yrs) are...

When do you think the membership of this site will reach 100? I'm going with Wednesday 19th November at around 6.30pm GMT any more for any more? Simon

Hello All, Still no digicam :( so it's another scan. Just thought I'd show you my progress to date. The arms & head are still seperate (as are the Dragon's horns) still a lot of carving to do on that! Also made some progress on the sword - blade completed (thanks to Richards suggestion! -...

Hello again, Just finished baking the beginnings of the Dragon's head so I thought I'd show y'all! I've started some of the scale carving on the front of the eye ridge but there's a lot more to do of that! There's not a lot you can say about the anatomy of a mythical creature I know, but it's...

Hello Everyone!, Can two masses of milliput be baked together without them sticking to each other? The reason I ask is this: I've started on the dragon's head for my figure and to stop it turning out waaay too big I've decided to have it on a rock on the final groundwork. Instead of trying to...

Hello all, Just finished sculpting/carving my first set of ears & I was really pleased with the results! Really pleased, that is, until I realised that they're too far forward (AAAAAAGH!!!! :angry: :( ) So what do you reckon? Should I carry on & hope nobody notices? (though I'll know & that...

I like the new lay-out Gordy! Does the appearance of the calendar in the board stats mean we can use that feature now? (I could just try it out I suppose!? ) Simon

Hello all, My first scratch-building project (the Gandalf figure) has “hit the wall”, as Richard might put it! (The pose was altogether wrong & the armature broke when I tried to adjust it) But I’m not giving up, I’ve decided to go back to the drawing board (literally!) and try again. I decided...

Title says it all really, is Sylmasta A+B any good? I'm used to using Milliput standard, how does it compare? Cheers Simon

Would anyone else feel cheated if they bought a figure & found they had no cleaning up to do on it? The reason I ask this strange question is my wife asked me last night, why I still buy figures when I know I’ll have to spend at least a couple of hours cleaning up mould lines (not to mention...

This might have been better in another section but I'm here now! In the (admittedly few) articles I've managed to find on figure sculpting I've come across two different schools of thought concerning scale. One states that the measurements should be made from the soles of the feet to the top of...

This is probably a long shot, but do any of you have a coolpix 2100? The reason I ask is I'm hoping to buy myself (sorry - the wife - must remember that! ) one for Xmas, but being a pauper my budget is quite small :( If the reviews I've read are to be believed, this camera should be...

Anyone got any tips for stopping this stuff sticking to your fingers? :( I usually use the standard yellow-grey stuff but the jailer - sorry the wife says I don't need any more of that while I've got nearly a whole pack of the silver-grey! (telling her that the reason I've got a whole pack of...
