You're are absolutely right, this is one cool figure...and BTW, beautifully done. Bravo!
 
Thank you guys! I'm glad, that you liked my figure. Phil what does BTW mean?
 
BTW=by the way....

Very nice work Oleg, especially for 1/35th scale! One very small observation, the gun sling looks like it doesn't carry the weight of the gun. That is to say, it looks as if the gun-sling should be stretched tight to show the weight of the gun around his shoulders. Well done!

Jay, thanks! About the gun belt, i've already known, what's a pity must i say=)
 
Hello Oleg:

I must echo what the other Planeteers have said. Your work is very good. I
am sure you can easily tighten up that machine gun strap. And 1:35th is so
hard to do since it is so small. I thought you did a very good job on the
eyes, as well. I really struggle with the eyes. Sometimes I have to paint
them 5 or 6 times before I get that "Deer in the Headlights" stare out of the
face.

Hope you will share some more of your work with us. And have a lot of fun
as that is the real reason we are doing this.

I also want to compliment you on your good manners, young fellow. You are
sending a reply to each of the PFers who responded to your note and photos.
That is a nice touch. I always try to do the same thing. Good luck to you,

PS. Oleg, a.k.a. in English is abbreviation for Also Known As, or what my
nick names are. :cool:
 
Rick, Martin thanks! Rick, in my opinion eyes are the most difficult part of the face, meanwhile it's the most beautiful. I remade this face 3 times =))
 
Oleg, just keep doing what you're doing. You'll learn on every single figure.
I've noticed the the "Junior" area of competitions is less and less supported , as time goes on.
I can only think this reflects a waning interest in the art form amongst younger artists...it used to be that Junior categories had many, many entries....not that competition itself is the ultimate end-all experience for miniaturists, because it's not, but it does reflect what's going on.
Stay with it Oleg, and you will be rewarded with a fascinating learning experience like no other. Not to mention a wonderful outlet for your artistic energies...
Looking forward to the next from you...this website is the perfect place to be, also!
 
I've got to chime in here again, . . . because I just read Two Moon forum
post, in this thread. Two Moon is right on the money.
He gets it. I agree that we do not see the juniors in competitions
around the American Heartland like we used to, and that is a shame.

Two Moons, really hit the nail on the head. Well said, mate,

The Miami Jayhawk
