Mike, thanks for the work in progress and finished images. Stunning work. I would end up cross eyed. I admit I have copied the process you go through in painting clothing and have mixed results, some ended in the Dettol bath.

Good to hear your practicing Bob.
I do have moments I’d rather forget,
however one of benefits of acrylics is you can layer improvement over top without washing it all off.

I recon if I wasn't asleep at the wheel I would have seen these earlier. Beautiful work Mike, beauty, and in 1/35th scale, ta boot!
Cheers, Ski.

Great painting on these top sculpts.
Very natural poses.

Thanks Steve & Gordon - shame in someways to have to move onto another scale.
Feel like I’m getting hang of these guys & been very productive with them.

Now you got me jumping up and down with excitement, looking forward to seeing that! Joe

It’s proved challenging get into this latest project.
Unfamiliar territory, some filling & fixing too.
Plus other life priorities intruding.
Got start of base coat on & will see how it goes this week.
Thanks for support - catch you all next month

Nope, only defrosted it Bob!


Totally understand this "...oh crap..." moment Hopper.
Personally I find this with every face, especially as I try to capture what's in my minds eye on the project in hand.
Everyone of my fellows has a name, this is a personality I'm trying to represent.
So to break through this moment, I remind myself to 'trust the process', keep working on until a smile or twinkle in eye appears
With that I can feel like I'm going in right direction.
Then the next challenge is to know when to stop!
Thanks for probing our thinking here.
Make sense to anyone else?
-Mike

This is so true..
