Specifically looking for Crimea War figures. Anyone have some they're willing to part with? Jim Patrick

I know opinions vary on this subject from they're great to a waste. I personally like them. But this isn't about whether we like them or not. Its more in line with some paint sets we want to see. For me, it's a khaki paint set. Nearly every figure, regardless of genre, uses some shade of...

Just a note to say that "I'm still out there". I haven't been painting or posting. "life" has stepped in, again! I am officially retired from the Army now and the times that I thought would start looking up, well.... they haven't. Still looking for a job (hopefully something will pop up soon)...

Here are a few things I'm working on currently. The Cav trooper is almost finished (FINALLY!). The Andrea viking only has his chair worked on currently. Only the first coat of oils. Still lots to do. The Dragoon is from Pegaso. Only prime red and groundwork done. Should start painting later...

Saw this and thought you guys might find it interesting. Jim Patrick http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-11288684

Ok, maybe I was asking the wrong questions in my previous thread. http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/some-questions-for-the-masses-ref-figure-magazines-and-articles.52297/ What to YOU constitutes, or makes up a good article on figures? Specifically, what are YOU looking for? Jim Patrick

Not quite sure if this has already been posted or not but looks pretty cool. Jim

Was having this discussion with a few friends recently and I was wondering what your thoughts are. Specifically, what makes you inclined to purchase or not purchase a magazine or an article. Is it the price? Where you feel the articles do nothing for you and you just wasted your money? Are...

Got a question for the masses. How would you go about carving woodgrain into a piece of bare metal? The piece of metal is rather large (the back of a very tall chair) and I'm just wondering how you guys would go about doing this. If possible, can you please attach photos to help me visualize...

Looked for the website but it's now redirected to the Andrea site in Spain? Amyone know anything or heard anything? Maybe it's just down for maintiance? I hope so.... Jim Patrick

You know Gordy? This tapatalk feature for my android is pretty sweet. Yes I recently joined the modern era and got a smart phone. Pretty cool stuff on here!

As the title implies, this is geared mainly towards those who are closer to West Texas. Anyway, I was wondering if there are a few painters in the area that would be interested in having a "club" meeting of some sorts on a regular (or semi regular) basis. I say club but am using that term rather...

Several times I have attempted the view the thread Dwarf Woodcutter. Everytime I view this page I get the following Security pop up: Windows Security The server os.cloudme.com at [email protected] requires a user name and password. It then asks me to type in my user name and password. It...

Sad news for those who use this line of products for their groundwork. Especially the rail road modelers out there. Jim Patrick http://www.lakenewsonline.com/news/x550247171/Fire-destroys-Linn-Creek-business-displaces-area-residents

Does anyone know of a dealer (preferably in the States but if not, I have no issues ordering outside of the U.S.) that has a good selection as well as a decent supply of Gunze Sanyo paint? I'm looking for Steel and a few other shades of metalic paint. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion. Hell yeah SMOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of these have already been posted here before. I just thought it might be worth while (mostly for me) to post them again here. I have been working hard to improive my photography of my figures. Since this is something most of us struggle with, I thought maybe this is something the rest of...

A suggestion for a seminar I have for the different figure shows is to have a seminar on "Photographing Your Miniatures". I think this would be a well intended seminar and can focus on the basics of digital photography (that's what most miniature painters struggle with today). All materials...

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...

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...
