What are you crazy kids using for painting metallics these days? As most know, I've been out of figure painting for several years, so I hope to benefit from some of your current expertise and see if there are any new techniques for painting realistic metallics! Thanks all!

Back in the saddle! It's been a looooooong time since I've painted a figure! Left eye needs a little attention, but I think I'm close. Moving forward....

OK, it's been forever since I've posted here! Hope everyone is well and keeping their brushes wet! I have a couple things I know for sure you brilliant fellows can help me with. I'm looking for a bust, It's the Young Miniatures Polish Winged Hussar (Yes, the sold out one, picture attached) if...

I've listed a large lot of great 1/35 scale goodies for cheap prices! http://www.ebay.com/sch/64sambaman/m.html?_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1 Jay H.

Mostly fantasy stuff this time guys, but some super rare goodies! Have a look and thanks!! Jay H. http://www.ebay.com/sch/64sambaman/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

Well boys and girls, I've finally decided to part with these gems. Some of the best busts ever produced...period...in my opinion. I have one of each of the 5 original Poste Militaire Inidan busts for sale. All are in their original boxes, I don't have the color exterior box for all of them...

Greetings fellow Planeteers! I have listed several of my painted busts for sale over on the "Bay". I'm moving again (2nd time in as many years), and I really don't want to haul them around again. I've got them listed for WAY less than I would normally sell a piece. I will also be listing more...

OK, I've separated these from my other listing as they are what I would consider more in the Fantasy genre, and I know some don't collect these over historical fare. Most of these listings are SUPER rare and VERY hard to find, please consider that when buying. Same rules apply for sales as the...

OK, I've culled a few more from the gray army to sell off. All prices are in US dollars, shipping is not included. Prices are not negotiable, but, agree to buy say more than 5 together, and maybe we can talk. Please try to understand some of these are very rare and hard to find, so I don't have...

Here is my take on the Young Miniatures B-17 Waist gunner. I finished this just in time for the ATL show. It was a hoot to paint, but it had it's moments with some very small fiddly bits, and a bit of thought has to go into the mounting of the oxygen mask, which I ended up having to use lead...

Well, this is much more about the fact that I finally got some decent pictures out of my little digital camera, than a re-posting of this figure! I know I've shown it before, but these new pictures are soooooo much better I just thought I would share! I used aperture priority and manually set...

Well, it's less than 2 weeks away now and I wanted to poll the forum to see who's going to the Atlanta figure show this year! For those who don't know, it's a fantastic show, hosted by great people and there's always great talent on display. I'll be shooting down Friday morning with David Lakin...

Gentlemen, all the remaining items from my sell-off are listed on eBay. Feel free to go over and have a look. I'm ONLY selling in the con US with these listings. Sorry to my friends abroad! Thanks to all who have bought in the past! Jay H...

Looks to me like busts outnumber full figures on the home page of the Planet today by about 4 or five postings. How times have changed! Jay H.

OK gentlemen, here is likely the deepest cuts I'll be making from the Gray Army. These are some of my rarer pieces I'm parting with, maybe even "grail" pieces in some cases, so the prices will reflect that a tad, sorry. Wanted to post these up here before I put them on eBay so I can avoid some...

Clearing out some of the gray army. Want to try and see if anyone is interested in these before I go to eBay and try to avoid some fees! Prices do not include shipping. Would prefer payment through PayPal. Please send me PM or email if interested (64sambajay"at"gmail.com replace "at" with @ of...

This is a new sculpt being released by Bob Davis of Bob's Miniature Sculptures. This is his killer take on a classic Frankenstein like monster. Cast in resin and scalling out to approx. 1/4 scale. Kit comes in 3 pieces, bust and two bolts for the neck. Check out the details on the stiches and...

OK, so after a quite a long time, I've finally fnished this piece. Young's Aztec Warrior bust. Basically box stock. I didn't use the weapon I scratch built earlier. Thought it was a bit wonky, and besides, this helmet needs to be the focal point! The photos are a work in progess so sorry. They...

Does anyone have any decent reference on whether or not Aztecs had any sort of tattoos? As some of you may know I'm working on the Young Aztec warrior bust and I wanted to add some tattoos assuming they aer correct for the aztecs. Te Osprey manual, the only reference I have, seems to NOT show...

Just as an FYI, I wanted to post up about this seller on eBay. I'm not certain, but I'd bet my Poste Militaire busts that this guy is a recaster!! Shanghai China listed as location, does NOT use the Young Miniatures name in his listings despite the fact that he is using his images (I'm sure as a...
