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

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........

Hi Guys

Here is a long over due update to my blog, first up is the finished cavalier conversion of Yuri’s bust. Next up is a painting commission of the Pegaso Mongol Commander Bust. and lastly is a little vignette I am working on for Euro Militaire, Werner Voss and Richthofen from Modelcellar in 1/32 scale and a scratch built Albatros CIX........, and another image of a Werner Voss next to a 1914 Wanderer motorcycle that he rode around on.....

Just a little something I ma taking my time over for the MFCA, a conversion of the Yury Serbryakov Landskecht bust. Slight facial changes I have removed original beard and added my, own, I am not totally happy with that and intend to do more, added the tach as well, also added extra height to the figures left side of the head to make the hat tilt a little more flamboyantly to the right. Torso changed from original I have removed all traces of the gathered shirt and have begun a light cotton shirt to go under a velvety slit doublet, maybe a gourget big frilly lace collar. So masses to do but I feel good basis to work on from here Dave

I am almost finished with this bust now, I have added a patterning to the purple and have finished off the hat, just the hair and beard to do next, I have been worried about getting that right so have been practising that on some thing else, I can also see I need more work on the shirt that I will fix at a later date aswell......
