Hello gents- I haven't posted here for a while due to difficulties posting pics to this site ( a shame ) - still seems to be a problem, but I will have a go anyway. This is an ongoing project to realise the John Singer Sargent painting....

Hello Gents, I am posting some SBS shots of my scratchbuilt vignette of King Canute. I actually built it this year while on holiday in the Lakes and then again in Majorca. The painting and water effects had to wait till I got home though. It got a HC at Euromilitaire this year...

This is part of a tribute build for Johnnie Gers and Tim White (RIP) that I was doing ( and am still doing) on the Military Modelling site. The Cromwell is the Tamiya kit with a Black dog update. I've pirated figure kits from Dragon, Warriors Tamiya and Mini Art to assemble the figs so far. I...

As part of my 'Britannia' collection, I thought I'd have a stab at the iconic 1960s British Fashion Model Twiggy- the first of the supermodels, stood next to her Mini Cooper. What could be more British than that? I got the Tamiya 1/24th mini, so that means the Twigster has to be 1/24th or 70mm...

As a bit of light relief from the Sex Pistols I have started on this bust - Sang Eon Lee's 'the Few' This is actually the 4th bust I have done- I don't rate myself a straight figure painter, but I quite like busts as you can capture a bit of expression not so easy in smaller scales... I sprayed...

Good evening gents. I want to do a model of the Sex Pistols, and I started on a sculpt of Johnny Rotten today. Here's where I got up to...

Hello Gents- I've started sculpting work on a little vignette. An English Holidaymaker abroad. He's strutting his stuff for the local beauties- He's serving at beach tennis. The girls are very impressed! This project will present many painting challenges- sunburnt skin, union jack shorts...

Good evening gentleman, and happy new year to you. This isn't truly a figure project, but I am posting it because it does/will include virtually scatchbuilt figs. but also OSL lighting methods that I have picked up from fantasy fig. modellers. Maybe the painting of the fire will be of...

Now fig modelling is essentially about 2 arts do we agree? sculpting and painting. On the painting front it seems to make sense to keep your hand in and do a bit of straight canvas painting to hone the skills. I paint in acrylics, but I thought I'd try an oil painting of my 2 daughters. I scaled...

Good evening Gents. I've embarked on a figure of Sebastian Coe winning the 1500 meters in the Moscow olympics in 1980, from his arch rival Steve Ovett. I started on Saturday morning at 7.00am and basically what you see is one days sculpting, although it took most of the day. I was in the cross...

This I got from Steve Kirtley at Euro. a cracker sculpted by Greg Girault. Entered it for Telford so having to work it hard... No credit to me for merely decorating a commercial fig- of course, but I did individualise a bit by sculpting my own rune stone for the scene!!!

Good evening gents. Now I know this is a figure modelling site, but I have posted a couple of my efforts of developing the NMM method for painting metals on figs. so I thought you might like to see how i have pushed it to aircraft ( not an area of modelling I"m normally into. ) Still I've...

I've entered this for Telford even though its not finished. I bought it at Euro. I'm having a fig painting phase- although its not necessarily my modelling thing. I've done this one NMM

Telford is only weeks away, and that means only one thing! Stefan Marcetti and Steam punk!!! Now I don't know what Steam punk is, but who cares! There's still time to do a Steam punk offering of my own! here it is - Scale 75s rendition of 'Sarah Kilmister'. Here's where I got up to, end of today-

I was looking at the Scream by Edvard Munch- and I thought - that really does lend itself to a rendition as a ' flat' so I did a low relief version in magicsculp. Then I thought, maybe push it one step further and do the whole shebang as a 3d model with false perspective! What could possibly go...

Any Bruce Lee fans out there might remember the final scene of Enter the Dragon, where Bruce fights a Fu Manchu style bad guy to the death, in a hall of mirrors. I did this little experimental piece- I sculpted Bruce in 1/35 while on my summer hols in Bulgaria this year. I did him on the hotel...

Good evening gents. I have plucked up my courage to post here again. I wonder if my pics will attach and how big they will be? Its a scratch built child soldier. A bit wonky, but an original to my credit I hope!

Hello Fellas- I got one of those optivisor thingies, and i've been trying em out on this Young Miniatures Bust of a US Navy Seal. Wow, everything looks weird with them on !!! Still working on it!

Hello fellas- here was a quick head sculpt I did of WW1 Flying Ace Albert Ball. Carl Reid's a pretty decent sculptor, but he must have had a few beers when he did this 75mm effort for SK Miniatures! His sculpt looked more like Liberace than Albert, who was a good looking guy! The head was too...

Here's where I'm up to with my first attempt at a flat. Its one of Ken Farrer's from Mil mart- and I know he lurks around on this site, so thought I'd embarrass him! Yes, and it is painted in black and white! Told yah I was gonna do that Ken, I also stuck your sculpt on a piece of plasticard and...
