It's a me; Hellbeard

[Hellbeard]

Hello everyone,
I've known about these forums for a while and get a lot of inspiration looking at the amazing work done here. I sculpt miniatures, learning the craft, with the hope of someday making cool and awesome games that people will play and enjoy.
Here are photos of my most recent one that I'm still working on:

These guys are a science fiction drop troop I call "planetFallers". The scale is 1:56 which is a good fit for 28mm size.

I'll post a thread in the WIP section later when I've made some progress. Is it cool to do one thread that I constantly update with progress or should I make separate thematic threads for each individual projects? Any preference?

I've always been intimidated by the high level of work I see on here. I hope I can keep up but more than that I hope to get feedback and critique that will help me push it to the next level.

Edit. I think I should add a little bit about myself: I live in Israel, I work as an illustrator/animator in an educational game company (I call myself a "game artist" as an umbrella term). I've served in the IDF 3 years of mandatory service in the armored corps in combat role as a tank crewman and 12 years as a reservist in same role. I've got a BFA in Fine Arts. I like games - computer games and physical ones, books (I have a collection), models, drawing, painting and cool stuff that's awesome in general.

Cheers.

Howdy Hellbeard, and welcome to the Planet! Like your figs, that's some really nice work. Did you crew a Merkava?

Thanks Joe55! I appreciate the compliment.
Yes I did/do crew a mk.3; It's awesome.

Here's a couple of pics from recently:

Thanks for sharing the pics. Haven't had a chance to get up close to a Merkava (was on M60A1 and Abrams), but always considered it to be an awesome tank. Have you considered doing Israeli tank crew figs? They would probably be right popular!

Well, if you get a chance to visit Israel swing by the Latrun armor museum. They have a lot of different tanks there and I think Merkava 1 through 3. I've considered doing IDF tank crew for some models I'm making. They're definitely on my work queue somewhere.
