Does it take time or talent?
Steve Your figures look very nice, and I must say that I paint almost exclusively in oils when I am in my studio. For outdoor stuff (plein air) I use gouache since it is more convenient to transport. For figures I use Acrylic as a base then use oils over the top. Incidentally you might want to...- wotan

Total eclipse
We were fortunate enough to be directly in the path of the total eclipse. I couldn't get a real photo of the event but I did get one of my wife and I enjoying it in our back yard. I must say it is such an amazing event, the temperature drops a lot and the stars come out for about 2 minutes in... -
Pledge Polish
Mick I guess this is not much help to you, since I am a part of a "foreign field", but this is what I use on my figures.- wotan

Nicely done Colin. Amazingly we have one of the few remaining original D VII's, in our little local museum in the backwoods of Quebec. John- wotan

Sculpt for art classes: Barry
Thanks Mick So Barry has been painted and he is very happy about it. There is no green it's just the lighting, BTW if you want to get a subtle shine on something here's a tip use furniture polish, That is what I used to get a boney shine and of course the highest bits get the most shine as...- wotan

Sculpt for art classes: Barry
Hi all From time to time I give classes to one of our local art groups. My next one is on portrait drawing so I decided to sculpt this as an aid to facial structure. He is called Barry since early on his teeth made him look like Barry Gibb. He is at approx 1/3 scale so just over 3 inches high...- wotan

Sadistic Christmas gift
So someone bought me this for Christmas (SWMBO). This is an almost impossible kit to assemble, as anyone who has ever had one of these Metal Earth kits will know. It is all made out of steel photo etch that is prepainted. It is a sadistic gift for someone like me, who is not a great model...- wotan

Brian's 1/100 HMS Victory
BTW Brian where the stays are shown going through the hull you could always attach them later by fixing a very small eye bolt in the hole. These are easily made by turning a piece of thin copper wire around a pin or similar and cutting to length. On many ships this is in fact how the...- wotan

Brian's 1/100 HMS Victory
Brian These look like STAY fasteners. I suspect the PATH column may refer to the piece number to which the stay will be attached. For those lines that are doubled through a block the only concern is to make them the same length on matching sides. As Tim mentioned for those lines that are not...- wotan

Brian's 1/100 HMS Victory
Brian If you PM me your address I'll send you this. You should find it helpful for some of the rigging. I won't be using it anymore. John p.s. It might take a week or two in the old birch bark canoe to cross the pond.- wotan
