So I finished this as a gift for a friend. The casting was lovely and the kit was really fun to paint.

Hey all, what's the best brand in acrylics for a white that doesn't get that chalky kind of texture when mixed with other colors?

I am looking to sell this bust. There are more pics in my vbench (https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/tartar-miniatures-bust-conversion.130334/) post on this project including more details on the sculpting done (added the dress, added detail of the head wrap). I'd really rather not mail...

My latest project is a slight conversion of Tartar Miniatures "The Fox" bust. I thought it would be fun to add a flapper dress on her. The fox stole is part of the kit, but I added the dress and embellished the head wrap a little. She is supposed to have a cigarette holder in her fingers but...

Hi all, I'm going to be starting a WWI project and I need some help finding figures that will work for the scene I have in mind. I need a late war German - older soldier with a peakless cap and a late war Brit (Welshman to be specific) in an overcoat (with helmet askew if possible). Both I...

It's been a while since I've posted, so here some pics of stuff I've gotten done. The Celt (Pegaso) and dog are 54mm, the French Officer is 1/48 (Thunderbolt Mt.), Forsaker is 35mm (Kingdom Death), Strain Chick (the inspiration for painting was a yellowjacket) is 28mm (Sedition Wars), Teutonic...

This year MFCA organizer are really making an effort to give more emphasis to the fantasy side of the hobby. Instead of an overall Best of Show award, there will be a Best of Fantasy award, in addition to a Best of Historical and Best of Ordinance. In addition to the new Best of Fantasy award...

Here's what's been keeping me busy from getting much painting done on smaller scale stuff. :lol:

Finally getting around to posting...here's a couple minis I finished in time for Chicago. Arwen is 25mm and the Bunny Chick is around 40mm. Any comments and/or critiques are welcome. I sculpted the fairy on Bunny Chick's base with Little Bunny Foofoo in mind. :sneaky: :D

I've decided to sell this figure: Abraham Lincoln as a captain (31st Regt) in the Blackhawk War, 1832. The figure was available to participants of the Chicago MMSI Show in October of 2009 in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the show. The link to the auction is here. And in case...

For our club figure for the year, I've been working on a conversion that is a rather obvious anachronism. It's still a Rev War guy - I just changed the pose a bit. Any thoughts on what category he would be - historical or fantasy? Or is he whatever I want him to be? :D

Another one from Chicago, the little 1/48 Rogers Ranger. He was fun to paint. :D

Every year over at Legio Pictorum, there is a contest called the Chick Challenge where only female figures are allowed. So here three of my entries. The one with the water is by Artefactory (or Figone), the Elf Chick in the pinkish dress is by Thunderbolt Mountain, and the chick in the...

Just curious, has the US or Canada ever entered? It's at World Expo next year. Anyone wanna give it a shot? Just to participate? Maybe they'd let there be a team North America since we have to travel so far just to enter? Just throwing it out there... :)

Finally updating my vbench slowly but surely. :) I sculpted the rabbit with the idea that he (wisely) decided to head underground while the officer shoots a few rounds at bottles. It was a fun figure to paint too. :thumb:

Some new things to announce with regards to the Michigan Historical Collectibles Show/Michigan Historical Miniatures Club Painting Exhibition (aka "the January Show" around these parts). First, the Detroit area show is now in November. November 20-21 to be specific. (MUCH better for...

If anyone would like to join my husband and I at Maggiano's for dinner on Saturday evening (around 7:30), just let me know in the next couple days and I'll make the reservations. :)

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've posted any work, so here's some stuff I've worked on for MFCA... Now I need to get going on sculpting some stuff...

It's that time of year again for the Michigan Historical Collectibles Show. Here is the website with info on location, times, activities and such. If you live anywhere near the Detroit area (or will happen to be in the area that weekend), stop by! As usual, the Michigan Historical Miniatures...

Here's the topic to post the pics of your painted Aviator bust. If you started painting him before the group paint, feel free to post pics anyway - the time frame doesn't matter all that much. The point is seeing different versions of the figure. The deadline is October 31, but there's a good...
