Excuse me Richard.
Steve what are you doing on here in the middle of the afternoon, you should be at work, its for the retired old codgers. I hope youhasve a good valid reason.

Richard.
Nice work on the figures, I've just done some MiniArt tank maintenance crew and the fit of the arm especially was hard to do with out having a gap, either at the front or the back vertical seam.

Thanks Guys,

Steve, this time I should have looked at the instructions or picture reference before gluing the arms...experience doesn't mean it's a know it all everytime. :smiling4:
John, sometimes you'll get a perfect fit and other times filler will be needed but the poses are nice even if the fit is not Tamiya standards.

Cheers,
Richard

JR - Matron let me out early for good behaviour. Have to be back in my padded cell by 9 tonite:thumb2:

Richard.
The face detail on those Mini -Art figures in top class, as is the rest.The heads are particularly good as some have no hat, and the hair detail makes them..

Hi John, matron will send me off to my room for not replying earlier. Thanks, yes these figures are quite nice to work with. I guess the Tamiya ones will even be better. Nothing to report though.

Cheers,
Richard

Richard,
Do I spy another masterpiece in the making.

[rtfoe]

Paul, I'm hoping it'll be something but not sure if it's a masterpiece. It may be one of the smallest vignettes I've done with just four figures in 1/35 scale.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi, I must apologise for neglecting the figures but in the last weekend I managed to paint in the faces while managing our hobby event booth. Still needs blendingI suppose but with the naked eye and safe distance it looks smooth. H/P camera pixels might be not hi-res enough and is picking up layerings creating a rough texture. Also the glaze medium I used has left a glossy coat which needs matting.

I have yet to paint in the eyes. Boy does it look rough.

Can anyone tell me how to edit the title as I want to add in "GB" at the end.

Cheers,

A great start at the painting Richard - top notch work on the sculpting too.

[Steven]

Great work on those faces!!! :thumb2::thumb2:

Richard.
Worry not no one is going together that near, unless they've shrunk. Bet they look perfect from the normal distance. On mine its best at 10 paces.:smiling2:
John.

[rtfoe]

Hi Peter, Steven and John, thanks, appreciate the comments. I had to do something about them since I started a while back. I fear that mine needs 10 paces as well. :smiling4:

Let's see what a layer of matt will do.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard - I think you need a moderator to make thread title changes

It is scary how different things look at large scale zoom isn't it - I have found that with my current WW1 figure

[rtfoe]

Thanks Simon, I hope a moderator is watching this.

Yes I should have expected it as I've seen my face close up in the mirror and the pores can be scary as well.:smiling6:

Cheers,
Richard
