Hello From Stockholm

[plasticbattle]

Hi Guys

My name is Frank Glackin and am currently living in Stockholm. Been there for almost 17 years. I´m originally from Donegal in Ireland. I have been building models for close to 11 years, but they are mostly armor and dioramas in 1/35. Have been a regular on Armorama and a lesser extent Missing Lynx during that time. Been slowly getting more and more interested in figures and have been following threads here for a few years.
I have attended the Euromilitaire these last two years with PF member Janne Nilsson (Urak-Hai) and its been inspirational, to say the least. Hopefully it becomes something regular as its been a blast. Have to say hello to Don and Del who Ive met both years and had great craic with, and also Mark (Gothic Geek) who is/was also an Armorama member.
Below are some models that Ive finished these last few years, and eventhough armor will always be something thats inspires me, Im well aware how important figures are to any scene, adding both life and scale. So tips and critic will always be welcome. Hoping to get to know more of yis.

Pleased to meet you Frank.
Lovely work,
Carl.

Welcome to PF, Frank. I recognise some of your models - perhaps I saw them on armorama a while back.
I loved back then and still love your Tarawa Sherman and marines.
Hope you enjoy your time here on the site!
Cheers

Welcome to the Planet Frank. How goes it?
Some great stuff, it's very impressive the way your figures actually interact with the armour rather than just being stuck around.
The final photos of the German officer show a style very much like Marks (GG)...... no bad thing.
Look forward to seeing you and Janne in September.
Cheers
Derek

Hi Frank,

Welcome to Planet Figure. You are among friends here. Many of us started out doing AFV's and "graduated" to figure modelling. Thanks for posting your pics. I'm looking forward to seeing some pics of your next figures.

Thanks very much Janne, Mirofsoft and Tony. Appreciate the warm welcome.

All Frank has to do is finnish his Gandamak scene for next Euro?

Yip ... thats the goal. Jump from noobie to a 14 figure scene for the Euros in 8/9 months. No pressure then.

A very belated welcome Frank (I've just stumbled across this thread). I remember admiring some of your stuff on Armorama. I've been on there as Kuno-Von-Dodenburg since 2006-ish but don't spend as much time on that site these days, just dropping in occasionally.
