Thanks fellas- pictures haven't posted right still. you have to click on them to open them- not ideal. I want to do all the figures on the ground from the painting. . I reckon I will need to sculpt at least 12. I am well underway with 6 currently, but I'll wait till there is more substantial...

You can see them gents? good. They are based on the Tommy's War set. Darren decided to limit the number of figures so I am sculpting the missing figures from the Singer sergeant painting and converting the stock figures to fit the painting...

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....

Thanks fellas. The water is as follows; sculpt milliput wave make plasticard mould box pour in silicone rubber and wait overnight. Out comes this. assemble water making products, clear resin and acrylic gels, glass paint pour in tinted resing to mould 24 hours later out comes this...

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...

I'm sorry gents ,tried to do them as thumbnails, as you say if you click on them they appear terrifyingly magnified after abou half an hour! Don't think my models can take that level of scrutiny!!

more process on Twiggy... I've been away a bit and the uploading of files seems to have collapsed? problems on the site?

They are a mix. The legs are from MB elite German infantry, the heads are all hornet but the capped head is alpine. The torso arms and coat tails were sculpted from magicsculp

just a little update- I have decided to expand this scene to sculpt a shed load more figs. I've been doing a universal carrier and here is the stowage set I did today from Duro. there are some good alternatives on the market from Blackdog and Resicast, but I think doing your own is the best...

Cheers Mark- I bet there's a few from this site there I never knew! It was a good do though, and my first trip- spent a shed load of cash of course on models I will never build- but what the hell! Lots of great models to look at in the comp room and the club tables. I did run into 'Rich' - who...

Thanks fellas- all enthusiastic after my trip to Sword and Lance yesterday, I started on a German Roadside Pow set...

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...

Thanks- mind you, I decide I wasn't pleased! Shoulders too big and the figure too tall! Couldn't fix that is I threw it in the bin this week! Back to the drawing board!

Bit more...

Gents, I'm 52- I have 2 daughters 13 and 10. Twiggy was a child girl in her hey day, 16 when she hit the big time! I see that now as a dad. I can appreciate her good looks, but really I think- what was it like for her, as barely an adult becoming a British icon, so dramatically and before she...

Thanks for your interest fellas, and wow so many good ideas for other figures. Some of those like Adrian's suggestions could be worthwhile commercially I reckon. Now for a hobbyist like me who likes to do his own stuff, you can see the fun in doing things that no commercial manufacturer would...

Twiggy was small by today's standard where the models are often 6 foot and maybe not that twiggy compared to the latest catwalk models. I hear the French are introducing a law to have a minimum BMI for models due to the taste for the painfully thin.

Mr Bean, Jeremy Clarkson, David Cameron so many Brit media figures it would be fun to try in a model scene! Twiggy was only 16 when she was declared 'the face of 66'- so just a kid, and I think she went on to about 1970 in her main career. Today's supermodel divas are quite a bit older in...

Nap- could be cool if I don't screw up the sculpting! Ralph- its a most British of British cars, I thought about doing this with a union jack on the roof, but also, NMM style to give it a little twist...

Cool - I'd like to see more Celtic figures- maybe Lugh Lafada and or Bran...
