Funny that. Cant let a good chuckle get in the way of painting. Have you started on the German Chip van yet????????

A change of heart! .. However, this is not for this thread!

'Vive la Chimp', and a nasty terrier!

Hi Huw,
Thanks mate, glad you like. I recommend fermented banana's, mind they will make you feel dog rough.

The whole banana or the inside or the skin? Must try this then I will go and find a rough dog and feel her!

Hi All,
I have just received the first few castings from Steve after his Euro rush and they are superb, I'm well impressed with both sculpting and casting. I have just spent a happy couple of hours getting this ready and the chimp. Photo's are straight from undercoating and a bit shiny and darker shade than I normally use. Pip the Rorke's Drift terrier titled "and snappeth the spear in sunder" is now available for sale. The world wide price including shipping is £39.50.
All the parts are cast in grey resin and Pip the terrier kit consists of 10 parts. The chimp is also cast in grey resin and consist of 5 parts.
I do not know if I'm going to sell copies of the chimp, although I have had some copies done so I can send Dimitry a.k.a. Gaudin one. But if a (pri)mate or two of mine would like a copy a may consider it.
Hope you like them, I love them, but there again I'm biased. I hope, these fun tongue in cheek pieces from 1879 Miniatures make you smile.
cheers
Richie

I do.
Great stuff mate. Looking forward to seeing them in the flesh at some point.

 

[Richie]

Hi Steve,
You might be right mate, but I not releasing any meerkats that's for sure, simples.

Hi Malc,
Well you have seen me, but I did not give you my monkey face........but it's a good likeness............you had better call him Richie.

Hi Roger,
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Now back to the model. Mate, next time you are home for the club meet I will bring them both over
cheers
Richie

[Richie]

Just catching up here,........liking the terrier very much,although not my usual 'thing'. With a little bit of rough fur, he could be a Welsh Terrier,and reminds me of my old dog from aeons ago, Taffy. Terrier by breed,terror by nature He once badly mauled a bulldog, relieving him of part of his ear. Loved people,though(and not for eating !)

Alan

 

[Richie]

Hi Alan,
Glad you like him mate, I wonder what Taffy would have made of this one!

Hi Ron,
Thanks mate, yeah a bit of fun. I can always report rivet counters on this one to the R.S.P.C.A.

Hear is how the cast kit looks.
cheers
Richie

 

[samson]

OK will do

 

[Huw63]

I've been otherwise occupied the last couple of weeks.Love the dog and the chimp - Richie you're as mad as a hatter - I'm glad as the more of us nutters there are the better.

Cheers
