Greetings from the Yew Kay

[Paul Mather]

Hello everyone.

I have been a model maker a long time, but I feel that I am only just beginning to get even close to the standards I would like to achieve.

I am hoping that, by chatting with you guys and learning from you all. I might stand half a chance at getting even better.

Here are links to some of my more recent pieces. As you can see I am 'okay' but I feel like I am still missing some vital pieces of the puzzle to get to competition standards.

Anyway, look forwards to getting to know you all. I am based in Hyde, Cheshire in the UK infamous for prolific serial killer Harold Shipman and just a few miles down the road from where I was born, Hattersley, famous for... the Moors Murderers... I should really consider living somewhere else, while I still have time...

Hi Carl were you at Crewe on Sunday?
Re Bolton, when and where is it?

 

[housecarl]

I was Paul. I was there on Ken Farrar's stall, with Steve Readddie and Chippy.
Here's all things Bolton. http://boltonipms.com/

Nice work... the middle one did not open but even it is not my genre, its good stuff. I don't know the materials you use but my head will soon be on the chopping block and time to see how I make out!
I am guessing from past experience in the dim and distant past a variety of techniques is what is called for. cloth, leather, armour, hair and flesh all have such different finishes and reflections. It will be fun getting back and experimenting!

Shame mate, but not to worry.
