Hello everybody! I finally got my 1/35th (OK, maybe he's a bit larger and rather 54mm scale) pelican finished, painted as a victim of an oil spill. Next, I think I will do a figure for a change! :) All comments and criticisms welcome! Best wishes, Marijn

OK, this is also not really a figure... While working on another project, I couldn't hold myself from from sculpting my own bassguitar (Warwick Thumb n/t). I decided to present it on a section of typical rehearsal-room floor, creating this still-life without figure. Title: "band-practice...

Hello everybody, I got my red-billed oxpecker finished, on a groundwork of white rhino. Title: "If you scratch my back... (I"ll scratch yours)" The bird is about 1cm long, including the tail, so the detail might seem a little crude in these very much enlarged shots. Any comments are...

Hello everybody! OK, these are not exactly figures, but well... On holliday in Turkey, I did some small in-between projects since my wife forgot to put the box with my figures into the luggage. So I had to do some sculpting there for which I didn't need stock heads or hands and I could find...

Hello guys! sorry for my long absence, but I managed to get some modelling done anyway... He is a Belgian officer in East-Africa in 1916, somewhere around Tabora. Maybe he shot the hippo just to pass the time, maybe it was necessary to keep their encampement safe (hippos are very dangerous...

Hello everybody! I finally got this one finished. Not that it was that time-demanding, but I guess everybody knows those periods you wish you had more time for painting... Any comments or criticisms are very welcome! best wishes, Marijn PS: it only needs a title plate added. Does...

Hello everybody, this is vignette I'm currently working on. It is a section of a railcar with two German soldiers, amongst the first to leave to the front in 1914. The atmosphere of that moment was very optimist: both armies thought they would get a quick victory and the war would be over...

Hello everybody! sorry for my long absence! My camera got fixed, and I finally got round to taking some pics of this one. All comments and critiques are very welcome! Best wishes, Marijn PS: I also wish to apologise again to my Mixican friends, and I hope they had an absolutely...

Hello everybody! I finally got this one finished. It was an absolutley fun project to do! Any comments or criticisms are very welcome. Best wishes, Marijn

Hello everybody! this figure has no relation to history in any way, but is just my interpretation of the classic "Atlas" figure, carrying his little world on his back. Besides face and hands (Hornet, and sculpting on the hands will need to be done after most of the painting), he is...

Hello everybody, this is my latest figure: another Belgian/Congolese soldier in East-Africa during WW1. He is a cyclist, but obviously not very happy with the east-african terrain, which was not always suitable for bike-traffic... I used hornet hands (with most fingers resculpted) and head...

Hello everybody! here you have a kind of step-by-step series of pics (long live digital cameras!) of the project I started last sunday. They are two Belgian Congolese askaris on watchout during the war in East Afrika (WW1) on a boat on lake Tanganyika for shore-defence. Untill the beginning...

Hello guys, this is my last finished project (about three weeks ago): a WW1 Turkish Ottoman soldier at Gallipoli, trying to shield himself in a reflex full of panic from the handgrenade that has fallen in front of him, obviously in vain... The face is Hornet (with the eyes and eyebrows...

Hello guys, I finished this one about a month-and-a-half ago, and finally took some pics. He is 1/35: hornet head (resculpted the eyes, moustache and hair) and hands (resculpted most of the fingers though), most accessories are dragon (refining the detail a lot with a scalpel), but the rest...

Hello guys, sorry for my long absence. I finaly got round to take some pictures of this vignette I finished already early march this year. It shows 2 french poilus in a desperate strugle over the last workig gasmask. Besides the base of the faces and hands which are Hornet, all the rest is...

Hello guys, this one has been here before, but got lost also. I thought I'd post it again as I hope to start painting it soon, after I get another sculpt out of the way. It is a black GI in vietnam, the second after being bitten by a snake. In a reflex, he pulls his arm back, thereby...

Hello all, just to complete my workbench again (I lost two treads with the forum changes), here is again my version of this wonderfull Latorre figure. I know it has been up before, but comments are stil welcome. Cheers! Marijn

OK, this is not really a a work in progress, but a figure I did some years ago. It was my first sculpt ever. I need some photography solution for the ones I am working on now... (digital camera...) :( Picasso's "Guernica" is probably the strongest image ever produced about the Spanish civil...

Hello guys, another one from a month ago: the S&T tanker sculpted by Bill. I switched the head for a hornet one, and changed the pose slightly. Comments and criticism are of course welcome.! The photo was taken on a competition table with terrible lighting, with flash and loosely out of the...

Hello guys, Here is my latest figure: the Latorre crimea figure. I must admit that I don't find the atisfaction I search from painting stock figures strait from the box, but this one was such a great sculpt I could not not paint it! I couldn't resist painting it a little "differently"...
