Thanks Brad! I will try. Mark

Hello everyone, does anyone know if Hydra Models (wood bases) is still in business? And if so, can give their current e-mail address? I can’t reach them anymore under their old email. Kind regards, Mark

Hello guys, Ernesto did a splendid painting job - and I am happy to be the proud owner of the piece :) I have to stress that Ernesto also provides perfect service: with SBS-photos of the piece, amazingly quick delivery, secure packaging and shipping. I can only heartily recommend him...

Truly amazing work! You combine a lifelike composition and mouvement with intricate details. Interesting that it's done in Fimo - could you give some more details about your working approach, do you bake the clay in stage or only once at the end? Best regards, Mark

Dear all, I attach some pics of the last common project with my friend Paulo Carrelo. Paulo did the sculpt and I had the pleasure to paint the figure. It's an man-at-arms from the Burgundian Wars around 1476. Comments are welcome! Best wishes Mark

Thanks again, Karsten, Massimiliano, Marcel and Mike!!! I was greatly inspired by the work of Mike Blank and this period still seems to be a bit neglected by manufacturers. Another project is on the way.

Thanks Steve and Pete for your kind comments. The figure will be on exhibit at Kulmbach and Montreux. Best wishes Mark

Hello, I finally finished painting the figure. Hope you like it. (Photos are overlighted and not first rate, but I'm working on it... Best wishes Mark

Thanks for the comments, I'm looking forward to the next joined project with Paulo - the sword hilt is indeed very fine thus making the painting of the hand a bit more difficult. Cheers, Mark

Thanks everyone for the kind comments! I originally had the intention to participate in one of the Games Workshop contests and chose the figure therefore - but I haven't done so far. The groundwork is a bit more ambitious than usually while at the same time complying with the contest rules...

Hello guys, this is my latest brushwork on a sculpture by my friend Paulo Carrelo. Paulo managed to include some excellent detail in 54 mm. I hope I could do justice to his figure with my painting. Painting was executed with Humbrol enamels and acrylics. Best wishes Mark

Hello everyone, I would like to present my first fantasy piece so far. It's a 28mm figure of the Lord of Rings character Boromir from the Games workshop range. Painting was executed with a mixture of acrylics, enamels and oils. (Inspiration for the colour design and the setting came from an...

Really great work Marcel! The fleshtones are lovely and colour harmony works well - can't wait to see your next figures. Best wishes Mark

Thanks Gordy, Markus, Steve, Marc and Alex for your comments! The question about anatomical correctness is legitimate and even the best painted and detailed figure cannot compensate for this. The balance of the pose didn't look odd to me at first, but having reconsidered it now, I must admit...

Hi guys! this is my last major conversion: a British Officer at Blenheim during the War of Spanish Succession 1704. Materials are a mix of Fimo (beige parts), Magic Sculpt, Duro and a mixture of both as well as metal foil. Head and hands are modified resin castings. Hope you like it, comments...

Dear Igor, thanks for the detailed information. Keep up the fine work! Mark

Hi Igor, very nice work, good body language and poses. Interesting to hear that you are baking several times. Most people I know using polymer clays only bake once at the end to avoid cracks. What temperature are you baking at? Do you change temperature between sessions? Would be nice to hear...

Hi everyone! I'm searching for information about the uniform and equipment of a South African 19th century unit: The Cape Mounted Riflemen. Can eventually anyone provide copies or scans of an old article in Military Illustrated: Castle, Ian. (1991) "The Cape Mounted Riflemen" in Military...

Great work Mike, I love your work on WW1 pilots. They have this special period feeling about them. Could you post some pics of the original sculpts? Would be nice to see what material you are working in. Mark

Dear friends, thanks for your kind comments and that you like the figure. It's a big compliment for me that you compare my work to Diego's orignal - I really admire his style. For the blood, I understand that it may be too light/reddish and I will try to darken it down a little bit, although...
