Hi, just found out about this Russian film, anyone know about its quality? Look to be some good replica PzIVs with the correct 'Leaping Horseman' division badges, and the famous Barmaley Fountain sculpture, and the force landed Heinkel in the square. Might have to pop to the cinema to see this...

Hi all, Just back from a cracking weekend at Euromilitaire. Not many photos have been posted yet, so I thought I'd show some of my (very average quality) photos. I'm sure someone will get around to posting a top quality album, but until then here you go... I don't know if it's the final...

Sorry, had to remove this post.

Hi all on PF, Do any members live in or near the town of Arnhem in Nederland/Holland? I'm currently sculpting some 1/16th figures from a famous photograph taken during the battle for Arnhem bridge in 1944. I would like to create the building seen behind the figures, and also the garden...

Hi all. Have finally decided to shift from putty to digital and would like to ask what kind of set up you guys are using? I've heard that using a mouse is far from ideal, and that a pen is the prefered option? I've seen on Youtube designers using a Wacom Cintiq 22 inch HD, but at a cost of...

Just back from Euro, had a fantastic weekend! Thank you to everyone for making it so great, in particular the evenings in the Southcliffe bar! I'll leave the quality photo coverage to the experts, but here are a few snaps to give a taste to those that couldn't make it. Cheers, Jon.

Hi Planeteers, Has anyone got a spare Dragon 1/16th scale Model 24 Stielhandgranate (stick grenade/potato masher) in their spares box that you'd be willing to part with? I'm sculpting a Luftwaffe flak crew (see photo). One crewman has stuffed two grenades into his belt: I have one already...

Hi Planeteers, Recently I was rummaging through some old boxes of accumulated magazines, and found a few early editions of 'Military Modelling'. So to stir up a few memories for the older members of our community I thought I'd post up some scans.... Here are the first three issues, January...

Hello all, Here's some photos taken at the Gravesham Military Modelling Society's open day 2010, held on the 30th October at Chalk parish hall. Best of show went to David Zabroki, for his superb scratch build 'Spare a Copper'. Here he is being presented bos by special guest Jason Salkey...

Hi all, This is a new post to follow on from 'Do we need another Wittmann' in the sculpting forum which I felt was misleading. Sorry to be a pain in the arse, but for the sake of historical accuracy I felt it was important. I've been meaning to do a dio based on Villers-Bocage for a...

Now I'm going to guess that if you've clicked onto this post then your probable answer was going to be 'NO, ....followed by the now familiar...N.A.F.N !' He he he! So bear with me. In my opinion no one has successfully captured the 'Wittmann hunch' or the 'Wittmann nose' I'm...

There are some cracking photos being posted up showing the delights from Euro, mine aren't too hot but I'm going to post 'em up anyway! The first few are general views of the show.

Hello Planeteers! I thought I'd share with you the experiences of building my own studio space at the end of my garden. I've seen previous threads here, and threads on the Timelines forum, showing people's studio set-up and work areas. Well, here's mine! Once 'family planning' kicked in I...

Hi Planeteers, Here are a few snaps from the Gravesham show, starting with some of the entries..

Hello all, I'm just back from day 1 of Euromilitaire at Folkestone. Smashing day, beautiful weather! Unfortunately my camera doesn't do very good close-ups, so I didn't manage to get many good figure entries. But for those that couldn't make it here's a few ambient shots of the show...

Hi Planeteers, Thought I'd just post up a couple of photos of a recently unveiled statue to honour the Gurkha engineers in particular, but also the contribution the Nepalese community has played in the local area as a whole. Maidstone in Kent is home to the 69th Gurkha Field Squadron and...

Hi Planeteers, I've just got back from a little jaunt over to the Calvados region where they have been celebrating the 65th anniversary of the Normandy landings. Did anyone else go and join the celebrations? Here's a couple of photos I took whilst over there: This one's a...

Hi Planeteers, Here's some progress shots of the dio I'm currently working on. It's from the famous photograph taken by Robert Capa in Notre Dame de Cenilly, 30th July 1944 (copyright Cornell Capa). The photo shows Untersturmfuhrer Peters of III/SS.Pz.Gren.Regt.37, SS.Pz.Div.17 'Gotz von...

Hi all, Has anyone had any experience of using 'Photomodeler' software? The current version (6) sells for $900, but I had a fantastic stroke of luck and picked up version 3.1 on ebay for £10! There used to be a free version called Photomodeler Lite (yeah, believe it or not that's the correct...
