    Sign of the times I'm afraid John. Standards are slipping everywhere. I didn't think the Yorkshire Scratching Master would succumb to the lowering of standards but just glad you were there to put him back on the straight and narrow.
    We'll keep a close eye on him from now on - for his own good of course

          There are no end to your talents Mr T. The figures are stunning. Looks like you are enjoying this project a lot. DAK and Sci fi. What a combo on your bench

            Jim/John - I blame it on the heat the your honour. I shall endeavour to see that shoddy buckets do not grace these pages in the future

            Neil - so far so good but still plenty of scope for disaster

            Scottie - you can keep it as reference on how not to sculpt figures :smiling5:

            Steve - I suspect figure sculpting is the end. Did really enjoy the 223.

            Probably back to the figures at the weekend when there is a bit more time

            The sci-fi was one of those kits that you see and just have to give it a go - I have a couple of others waiting in the wings

              rather than the pin sharp smart figures we get from manufacturers I look at reference photos and see baggy, saggy, unkempt looking lads

              Mine are probably a bit too baggy and saggy but I shall keep going for now

              I have determined that I need to refine my figure manikin a little before I attempt making any more

                    If I could get my own figures half that good, I would be overjoyed!

                      Hi Simon,
                      loads continuing to be going on here i see,plenty to keep up with!
                      All that bling certainly makes the Car itself stand off the page...... a CRACKING result you`re achieving mate!
                      Some good heads i see,looking forward to seeing those come to life.
                      Cheers,
                      Andy

                            Hi Simon
                            Those figures look fine. I don't think I would even attempt it. Keep at it :thumb2:
