Thanks for the replies guys.

Yep, very busy but it is a hobby and not a job..

I hope to have all the single figures finished for Eindhoven.

Beautiful work...base work design is really clever. It may be the camera angle...but the left arm on the prisoner looks like it might be way too long. If he straightened it out, it would be down to his knee it looks from this angle.

Robert jan,
Your indeed a busy man but excellent sculptwork sofar.
Looking forward to see the next steps.
(I was wondering did you finish the Hardcore punk?)

Groeten,
Marcel.

Thanks Phil. At first the arm was too long (first picture) I then corrected it. The camera angle distorts somehow, I also think.

Thanks Marcel, the punkrocker is still in his primer. No paint on it yet...
One day..

HI Robert,
i like the pzgr in the hole and the little vignette.
Nice to see that your work advance since i look at your blog.

bravo.

 

[Jamie Stokes]

Robert, I like the human element you have managed to capture in your work.
The Endkampf one seems to have some tragedy/ pathos around it.

well done,

Cheers

Thanks Ken!

Sebastien, Thanks. The blog needs some serious updates....

Thanks Jamie. The human element is the main reason doing figures. I used to be an armor builder.
