Hi Guys

I know its been a very long while but I have had the stress of work and just no time to do anything worthwhile with my painting. Until over the last week or so I have pushed myself out of the doldrums, so here are the results so far, the two WW1 busts, I have ha dot finish off for Paul at Modelcellar, they have now gone off to him.

I have been working on  a few other little projects in the past that I am catching up on, this is one of them , its the Srgt. Blackart’s Jack the Plucker figure, with a little twist added as base work, I have now been able to start the painting.....

   

I have also been looking at another project that I have had in my head for a very long while, just had no real time to push it in the right direction, at the moment the conversion work has been limited to the head of this bust, I only hope I can do it justice with the painting I want for this bust.....

This is early days yet.........

Hi Guys

Here is a new post of the Faun and the United Irishman, just thought it best to keep you up to date

First of many projects

Hi Guys

This is the first to get finished of many figure projects I have on the go, Its a future release from ModelCellar part of a four figure set of WW1 Bomber Crew. I have added another head to the figure and a helmet that I had going spare. The groundwork is made from plasticard, the exhaust is from a Wingnuts kit that I had going spare.

Draft Dodger

Hi Guys, I also have been working on a little piece for myself, just trying to keep my hand in the sculpting and painting mode, what with work now taking over my world, its getting harder to get hobby time, but I am working on that side of things at the moment (come on let me win the lottery)...

let me know what you think of this one, its 54mm conversion

Dave

Hi guys, Here is an update, this is where I was a week ago on this beauty, I am loving this piece, I have still lots to do to the figure, but it is coming along nicely now....... hope you like it

Dave

Hi Guys

Here is a little update, first stages of the figure conversion, still loads to do as you will be able to see.......

Just incase you want to know:-

A. He will have a small clay pipe in his left hand.

B. The knife in the right hand needs a little more work.

C. Tops of the sleeves where they join the shoulders will be done once the coat has been fleshed out.

D. Trousers need some tweaking.

E. The Stovepipe, needs a little more thickening up, the height seems OK.

F. Waist coat needs some more looking over before the buttons are added

G. And some adjustment to the toes of the boots

But I think I am getting there, let me know what you think

Native

This is a little something I am working on for the MFCA, most of the basework has been fleshed out, just working on a barrel that I will be casting to make up a couple to place on the base, work then its onto the figure for a major conversion, the figure is the SK miniatures Spanish figure 120mm sculpted originally by Mike Good, I have so wanted to do the conversion of this piece since the figure came out....... any guesses....?

Vinegar Hill 1809 - County Wexford

Hi Guys

I have been away from the modelling side for a while, personal problems and health have stopped the progress of anything up till now. So here is my first piece back into the fray, its a little 54mm figure from Alexandros miniatures, that I have added a couple of little touches too, to give the finished figure you see to the left, comments are always welcome. As the title suggests its an Irish so called rebel from the Battle of Wexford in 1809

Hi Guys

This one is finally finished and it was well worth the effort to finish it,

let me know what you think ....... on to the next piece

Hi guys, this is a slow one but I think worth the effort, its a a added detailing I am doing to this piece from Andrea. Its just superb the casting on this ...... I have been working hard on the mouth area and the quilted jerkin, also the leather and back of the fur

thanks for looking

Hi Guys

Decided on new post with some updates, got lots done before Euro Militaire, but just gonna start work on loads of other things, so I have to keep this up and running. So here is the updates as of yesterday 26th September. The Ringmaster and the Acrobat is finished, although I am thinking of adding a few more details to the figures and the aircraft, we shall wait and see. I also have another Modelcellar figure of the RFC pilot finished up, this earned me a Gold at Euro, well chuffed. Also the piece in the pipline, is the Andrea Viking Fury, this is in its early stages with half the facial area coloured up just detailing to do here, plus I decided to add a shield to the bust to give him something to look over...... after that I have a couple of other busts I am going to get into, along with some other surprise I have in store........
