    Malayan Emergency 1/35 scale.

    Everyone I know that Mr. Race and his committee have sole authority to decide the Dog's award for modelling. However, representing the North American continent, I have decided to institute a special award for outstanding Scratchery. So I am pleased to award the first of the Simon T Memorial...

    Tamiya Wespe 1/35 scale.

    John Big fan of your architectural projects. Very well done. If it is of any use I have similar sliding doors on my old barn. This is how they work. John

    John's Godfather figure sculpt

    Gentlemen you are most kind. I like the iconic pose in this figure however the sculpting is always a disappointment when it doesn't live up to expectations. I struggled a lot with any sort of likeness and just about achieved vague ressemblance. He looks pretty good from the rear though. So here...

    John's Godfather figure sculpt

    Thanks again guys. Moving along his body is almost finished, just the shoes and the hands to finish off. And then there is the small issue of his head. I have realised that with my skill and eyesight I will never get a good likeness, so I am aiming for vague resemblance. Let's see what comes...

    John's Godfather figure sculpt

    Thanks for all the encouragement guys. Finally made some progress yesterday. The armature is about there. Spent a while making sure to get the pose right with his head slightly tilted and his shoulders and torso looking comfortable in the chair. Now we start the hard bits. I need to add...

    John's Godfather figure sculpt

    I must be getting dumber in my old age. It took me several hours to get an idea of the chair. Version 1 is a rough styrofoam jobbie, version 2 in stiff paper then finally version 3, in MDF, and a little bit undersized since it will be the version I use and will be covered in clay to represent...

    Dragons and Dragons

    I don't know what came over me. I just found myself painting this guy,..... ...and then before I knew it this guy turned up. This was a complete change for me. Normal service will be resumed shortly. John

    John's sculpt 1/6, Canadian Mounted Policeman.

    Thanks for all the support guys. He's now finished. If it can help anyone my basic flesh tone is made of Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, White and a small touch of Pthalo blue (or any dark blue would work). I paint this over the whole face following the old pattern, Forehead a little more...

    John's sculpt 1/6, Canadian Mounted Policeman.

    I hope the little SBS will be of use one day. Meanwhile just about finished his uniform now. Done with Crafting acrylics, Jo Sonja acrylics, gold printers ink and acrylic ink. A little bit of tidying up to do, then on to the fun stuff. John

    Bravo for giving painting a try. I find it to be the perfect relaxation and very satisfying. No matter what your level or what medium you use. Here's a couple of mine: Oil on canvas Pen and ink with pastel white highlighting. Keep it up John
