75mm Experiment







Here are some pics of something I've been wanting to tackle for a while and never had the time. I'm experimenting with a full figure sculpt in 75mm. This is the roughed in armature that still needs lots of refining. Feedback on him certainly welcomed. The face has the most progress, but also is in process. Stay tuned......






U-Boat Captain..Update




More progress on Gunther....




Czar Nicholas..Update


Here's a pic of some more progress done on this bust. The large scale has been challenging with the acrylics. More smoothing to do and I'm off to Atlanta this weekend for a club meeting and a chance to check on some brass metalizer paints/laquers for the helmet.

U-Boat Captain, 90mm







Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Here's a new painting project that I've just started. This is my forst new piece for 2010 and I'm really happy to be painting this one. It's a 90 mm kit from Andrea and is really well done. This is one of those figures that will really paint up well as the sculpting is really first rate. These are some very early shots of the piece with the face and hands just under way. I'm looking to complete him in time for the Atlanta Show in Feb. Wish me luck! More progress to come. I'm experimenting a bit with a lighter flesh mix than my usual. I like the results so far. On to the pics...
