Black Jack
Very much appreciated gents and Steve, I will be surprised if I can pull this off too. But at least I am ready to move on to paint as the sculpting is done. Hardest job was trying to make 4 stars for each shoulder but with a bit of bodging I think this will do. I think the likeness is just OK...- wotan

Black Jack
Gentlemen you are most kind. He has moved along now and I just have his decorations and 4 stars to add. I'm always a little disappointed with the result that rarely matches initial ideas. Faces are never truly symmetrical but I always have a tough time getting two eyes or two ears to vaguely...- wotan

Black Jack
Welcome aboard chaps. The face is now almost done. Definitely a Jimmy Hill chin, for those of you who remember. Next stop a trip to the hair salon and some sanding. John- wotan

Black Jack
I have been looking at some ultra realistic painting recently and so I wondered if I could bring the technique to a bust. I needed to have a relatively large scale bust for this experiment so I am sculpting this in Magic Sculpt at approx 1/6th scale. This will eventually be "Black Jack" Pershing...- wotan

HELP my photos are awful
Scottie All good advice here from the guys. I would add two things. First up try to arrange your lights to have one on each side of the model lighting it like this. You can use pretty much any sort of lights, for instance your desk lamp on one side and an led flashlight on the other...- wotan

Artesania Latina Cutty Sark
Cont.... This is how the studding sails attach. Note this is an earlier ship so the boom is above the yard. Yours is the same idea but with the boom attached below the yard. Note when the booms are below the yard they are not attached exactly vertically below the yard but pushed just a little...- wotan

A tank called SU
Jakko Thanks for the tips they helped but I still hate vinyl tracks. I am calling this one finished. Excellent fun with the painting although many would say it's a bit over the top with the wear and tear. Anywho,,, It will probably be another couple of years before I build another one...- wotan

A tank called SU
Thanks guys Mike just as well you can't see it from too close. And what's the thing with these rubber band tracks. You can't glue them, you can't paint them and they are tough to fit. It may well look best from the waist up. Rick It is certainly more fun for me to paint em than to build em...- wotan

A tank called SU
The paint is flowing thick and fast. I think I can safely say that I have used just about every product that I have in my arsenal. I saw a movie on Netflix just recently called T34. Crappy movie but I did notice how the tanks were extremely worn. I decided that I would go for the over the top...- wotan

A tank called SU
Thanks to you all and welcome along. Started on the fun bit for me, painting. Here are steps 1 to 4 so far. 1 Primer 2 Black to make sure no evil white bits show through the base coats 3 My version of 4BO basic 4 Some faded green over the top to give the finish a worn look. Just a lighter...- wotan

Scotties Completed Humber
Paul A really nice finish and very well displayed. I do think your photos don't do full justice to the piece though. I have adjusted this one a little to try to show it off a little better. I hope you don't mind. Great job John- wotan

A tank called SU
Thanks for following along. I think the top of the hull is now done. Still have the barrel to fix and I can't decide whether to use the kit fuel tanks or try to remake them. I know what Mr T would do. John- wotan

A tank called SU
Thanks guys for adding your encouragement. I reckon a bit of mud and dust will conceal the worst of my building. The front end is just about done now, just a few little bits to add here and there. Then I get to move on to the worst bit for me, WHEELS argh. BTW John I used Tamiya putty to add...- wotan

A tank called SU
Welcome aboard Steve So continuing to bodge a few bits here and there. The grill on the engine deck was a bit naff on the kit so I had a go at improving it slightly with some mesh I had. Still got the bolts to add but it's a little better. I also decided to add a little texture to the main...- wotan

A tank called SU
Thanks guys and welcome to this attempted blog. I saw some videos on the interwebs of guys making new fenders so I thought I would see what I could bodge up. It looked like fun and I had a spare bit of copper sheet lying around so. After a number of attempts at cutting out the shape and a quick...- wotan

A tank called SU
Hi everyone I decided that I would like to have a go at painting a tank since it has been a long time since I did one. I emphasize the painting bit since I am not a big fan of building. I picked a cheap and simple model to have a go at. It had to be Tamiya since they are usually well made...- wotan

3D Pen Experiments
Final experiments with my new toy. Tried some extra smoothing on this one. And finally this is probably the best use of 3D pens, for my grand daughter. John- wotan

3D Pen Experiments
Just to complete this adventure here is the finished thing. Complete with wonky columns and general rough exterior. Having said that I do think this is a fun tool to have around if only for sketching ideas and making monsters for the grand daughter. John- wotan
