I too am the dishwasher... But I'll tell you this... Nobody will be using any holes of mine for storing brushes or tools. NO WAY!!

Windows 10 started an automatic download on my laptop the other day... If I hadn't heard others complaining about 10 I probably would've let it. Instead I forced a shutdown, let it sit for a day, restarted it and said "No" when asked if I wanted to resume the download. I think I dodged a bullet...

Interesting subject. Best u can do I think is make common sense extrapolation on what they may have worn. I would lean towards predominantly animal skin and fur... Steer away from woven cloth. Decoration would be painted, rough beads, quills, maybe feathers. Bear in mind, Newfoundland is chill...

Thanx Allen The wide stripes felt good but there's definitely a lot of improvement to be made on the thinner stripes. Maintaining width, position and paint concentration were all a challenge. Yellow over dark blue was a rough choice for sure. Dark over light (like the green over white) would've...

Really nice work Bob... I was hemming and hawing about these two figs but your positive words may have swayed me. The Franklin book is the best reference I've seen. I love the style, not so artistic... more technical. Had to borrow it from the library... then proceeded to colour photocopy the...

Thanx Bob, I haven't given up on the Black Powder era... still my fav... but of later I've been reading tons of Norse fiction and I am developing a very deep connection to the Viking period. Not to worry... I have a Vistula Lancer, an Imperial Cossack and some French Nappys on deck. And a...

For your consideration... my offering for June... This month is a 75mm Viking from FeR. The fig is painted with Scale75, Vallejo and DarkStar acrylics. My first real attempt at freehand striping... I'm happy with the breeks. In the foreground of the base is a rough monk's sandal made from...

Hey all Riding season is in full swing here but I hope to maintain at least a one fig a month production. To that end... here's my fig for this last month... "Not in my hall!" As Christianity made its way north, some embraced the new faith but many stood firm against the White Christ...

Congrats David... Beautiful piece. No question in my mind of the outcome here. Colin

Really nice work Ron. The fig and scenery tie together so neatly to tell a story. So much more engaging than just the fig perched on a fuzzy green patch was th a rock and a twig The structure and groundwork is like a project unto itself!!! Great work Colin

Just finished the very same bust. I painted mine as a trooper with white furniture. I believe the officers furniture is silver cording. Of course that doesn't mean full on metallic... It's still white wool cording but shot through with silver wire. Have a look at the cap though to make sure...

Funny I was going to blame u for this bust thing... I used to be strictly a leg and ass man

Thanks guys! Much appreciated! I won't lie... I did struggle with this some... at this scale there is no faking all the detail on this sculpt, and the detail is merciless!!! Keith... coffee! Black coffee with tons of sugar!!! Nick... I used Scale 75 paints for the reds. Super flat finish...

Thank you all for the kind comments and support. For those looking to pick this guy up... don't hesitate, it's a great fig to work on. Roger, being in a club with Zeno and seeing his work up close and being privy to his groundwork seminars, I am humbled and pleased at the comparison to his...

Hey all I finally finished the Queen's Ranger, the commemorative figure from the 1st annual Sword and Brush show here in Toronto. The fig was produced by FeR miniatures for our club's show. Anyway, a beautifully sculpted and cast figure that was a joy to paint. For the scene, I tried my hand a...

Hey all Long time no see. Glad to be back. (y) I've been trying my hand at a couple of busts lately (keep the crude comments to yourselves ya bunch of pervs :stop:) and this one I finished tonight. The piece is a 1/12 resin offering from FeR miniatures of a Polish Lancer of the Imperial Guard...

Hey All It's been a while since I posted anything new as my production has been low the last couple of months. Anyway... For the month of May... and your consideration. A 1/12 bust from FeR miniatures representing a trooper of the Polish Lancers of the Imperial Guard. Painted with Scale 75...

Sounds like a cool idea. As to props... Is the bomb simple enough to sculpt? Maybe a sign in Russian saying "pilot's latrine" (a nod to your sense of haha)? A push cart with ammo boxes with "559" stencilled on the side? I'm sure you'll come up with something interesting. Love forward to seeing...
