Dear all, My own first thread after PF's revamp. Fancy that! Here is painting progress with the snail-speed project with Young Miniature's Soviet tanker bust (by Mr Ishii). Quite happy with the blackish tone with a hint of red (never visible in pictures...), I moved on to worn leather...

Dear all, First of all, big thanks to fellow-hobbylists who generously shared tips on painting black last time round. I presented my latest progress to a local painting god. The most significant part of his inputs: no varnish required. My next struggle is exactly it. Varnish or not. That...

Dear all, In an absolute sense, this is not my first attempt at painting black. But this is the first time I approach it with others' opinions in mind, and with a specific idea of what I am aiming for. Where it ends up is of course an entirely different matter :) I have taken the advice of a...

Dear all, I am Michael, the annoying, loud and expressive one. This fraction of a bust is from Young Miniatures. Black Devil. Awesome purchase this. Having shut down the painting department for half a year or so, and mainly getting by on fast food and ocassional plastic figure sanding, the...

Dear all, What sets me apart from the rest of Planeteers posting threads on this side of the website? A. I don't paint before posting most of my threads. B. Flattering the subject even before you come in here. But as always, NOT technically a review. Chit-chat if you will. Recently I...

Dear Planeteers, Having barely settled in HK, I am on the hunt for new exciting kits again. I find that being based here comes with many perks. Models from all over the world are shipped here, in pleasing availability. I for one am a big fan of variety. Two recent purchases are both from...

Hi all, Months ago, I came this far with Young Miniature's superb Soviet tanker bust, and there has been no progress since due to the whole moving thing. Thanks again for all previous compliments. Now that I plan to pick up the brush again, I find myself absolutely clueless and lacking in...

Hi all, Recently reassured that PlanetFigures can take in quite a bit of variety, and frankly out of need to voice, here I am with this post and two very risky pictures. Oh and the last picture is to greet new friends who dont know me yet. This is how me a figure modeller left UK. Far from...

8 years in UK and this is my last moment here. Under the effect of Cogniac, I cried the hardest for years. I am not just any international student hanging here for nothing more than a degree or two. I have actually LIVED it. And I totally dig what UK is all about. And yet the likes of...

Hi all, Been in farewell parties every night. Gherkin, home, home, Battersea. Followed by one musical a day, starting tomorrow. Just staying busy til the Sunday flight, as I will settle in Hong Kong for good. This is a very hard goodbye, as I am genuinely in love with UK. I think I have loved...

Hi all, Sorry for the slow progress... The truth is I am saying good bye for one last time to some of the most interesting people befriended over the past year. In another word, booze and posh cakes and lots of hugs in various parts of London. That, and the fact that I really want to nail...

Turned 24 at midnight figuring out how to do the hair, which is not sculpted. Lee and a much fabled Japanese girl kit artist have been a major influence. Immediate tasks include refining eyes, refining made up hair. The helmet can wait... Comments welcome! Thanks for dropping by! Now...

Hi all, Been a long time since I last posted a thread. The air remains fresh in PF. Recently came under fire due to my consistently candid comments with some of the fellow hobbylists' works. No harm meant and sincere apologies to all parties offended. I am hugely inspired by Mr Ishii's...

To some this may come across as just another sci-fi bust with a vampire twist. To the better-informed, the remark is likely made that it came from the aweful, aweful Blade: Trinity. Aweful. And here is something noticeable. This bust, 1/3 in scale, is the product of a worthy sculptor/designer...

Comments welcome. Thanks for looking!

Now that my exams are over (fingers cross I get the degree, I didn't work hard enough for it), I picked up a brush again. Only started last night. Working on the shadings and highlights on the buffalo dark skin. Can't wait to move onto the flesh area, which is now primed by a mixture of...

This is another kit available at Wonderfest in 2010. Staffan Linder's fascination in Nosferatu prompted this highly personal sculpt. This vampire does not sneak around. The hunt for lust and blood is full on. An interesting take. Staffan is now a successful effect artist in the film...

Hi all, I am gonna take a rough guess an average reader does not visit the Wonderfest in US. In the world of garage kits, Staffan Linder is a big name and after nearly/over ten years, he showed up again in Wonderfest in 2010, bringing with him a couple of issues that were supposed to be...

Hi, I visited a friend and got this. It was on the wall for far too many years while I found it and there is still some wall on it now... Does anyone know what movie, TV show or comic this kit is supposed to be based on? Thanks! Michael

Hi, I am terribly sorry, but I still dont know how to post a review when I should. Maybe this is for the best, as my camera shots are really not good enough for reviewing purposes. I guess you can just rule me out as a reviewer... Just received this from Figone of France. The French...
