Having a break from figure painting.

For the rigging on the WingNut Wings kits, try using Bob's Buckles in the U.K. (Very nice fellow) or Gaspatch Models for the turnbuckles and accessories.

I got a 1/48th Airfix P51 Mustang to build for our model club group build, there are 15 of us building the same kit. Who knows how mine will end up, I am not very good with plastic and glue and my painting leaves a lot to be desired, but will be good fun.

That's the main thing Tommi having fun.

For those www kits...many are out of production, so you probably have an appreciating value stash....

Ninian eh? Takes me way back...

It's the creative process that's fun....when you're done you hardly care to look at it....kinda like sex.......sorry guys.

Go for it Ralph, the break'll do you good. The other year I did a star wars kit for the same reason. I bet mine is the only snowspeeder painted in artists' oils!

Just make sure we see the end result.

Don't go in to the dark side forever though - you'll be missed!

Cheers BP.
I'll never stop painting figures,I just like to do something different now and then.
To me it is a bright side.

There is an addiction to putting paint on figures..breaks don’t need change that. And sometimes those diversions give over bits of ideas that can be applied to figure work..

I've started taking art classes recently and have begun oil painting. It's not a dramatic shift from modelling and an extension of my love of artistic pursuits. Not surprisingly, I'm drawn towards portrait painting.

The landscape is my first ever painting and the portrait of the Aboriginal stockman is my first portrait and second ever painting.

Excellent work for your first 2 paintings Tony.
