    So, after a LOT of umming and ahhing, I finally stripped off her face, using care and airbrush cleaner, as per @Tim Marlow - and of course, it worked an absolute treat. Great tip, Tim - I do love this forum! In the meantime, I worked on her hair, skirt, beads and bodice. Her face is stripped...

    Advice on cat painting, please

    I've been given a garden ornament to repaint, and I'm looking for colour scheme suggestions. I've been given free-rein - I could give it tiger stripes, paint it sparkly pink, whatever. Any suggestions gratefully received!

    The end of Alclad 2

    No one's mentioned Molotow Liquid Chrome - gives an amazing chrome finish. Here it is, brush painted. I understand it can be airbrushed as well.

    I'm struggling with pale skin tones on this next figure. I used some old, part-dried paint on the face (why?! I was asking myself almost as I used it - one of those mistakes you know you're making, but can't help yourself for some reason) and that has ruined the smooth finish there - it'll now...

    Latest Acquisitions (2023)

    Just arrived, very quickly indeed from Panzerwrecks, is this monster tome. It's absolutely stuffed with theory, ideas and techniques - and it cost an arm and a leg. Like many on here, I've been wowed by the dioramas produced by Martin on the NightShift YouTube channel. Having finished his...

    Thanks everyone. Ha ha, no, normal sized hands here. She's nominally 75mm scale, but because she's an elf she's actually 50mm from the soles of her feet to her eyeballs. The cape did take some time - I'm discovering that freehand is labour-intensive, with a great deal of continuous correcting...

    So that's the second figure (of three) completed. Her name is Kyra, and she kicks ass.

    I'm enjoying painting this little one. A tiny green gemstone at her throat. Fabric effect shamelessly stolen from Roman Lappat's painting of the same figure.

    Just got this, a Benchvent BV300S-D spray booth. Lovely bit of kit!

    It was over a month ago now that I started struggling with the primer coats on these two figures. Since then I've stripped them back twice, and re-primed them three times! Third time lucky, I guess. Thanks to great advice once again from @Tim Marlow - thats a smooth enough finish for me. I can...

    Fight the Power: how Hip-Hop Changed the World

    I've watched two episodes of this BBC four-parter, and it's great. The music's great, the social commentary is remarkable and the talking-heads are brilliantly clear, forthright and articulate. Well worth a watch/listen. If you like that sort of thing.

    Here's the effect - this is on the other figure, Kyra, which I haven't (yet) started stripping.

    The plan at the moment is to build it, then try the steam trick. If it works, great, if not, it's no great loss. However, building has slowed to a crawl. I've just started on the wheels - the card modeller's version of tank tracks.

    The tidy up !

    My desk, with card model (slowly, reluctantly) taking shape. Can you tell I'm lefthanded?.

    Neil's 1/32 WWI Nurse

    Thanks chaps. Sorry for the digression, but some pro figure painters are incredible! Just found this by Mike Butler. I don't really care what scale this is, it's just perfect! Also found Mike's version of your nurse, Neil, and I must say you've done the translucent material technique...

    Talk about fraud

    A plea from me - please talk to friends and family about the epidemic of banking fraud. This summer my mother in law was defrauded of c. £17k. The bank (Barclays) has signed up to a voluntary code of conduct obliging them to take extra measures to protect vulnerable customers from fraud. My MiL...

    This model has developed (meaning: I have built into it) a bit of a twist. I was hoping adding the floorpan would pull it out - it hasn't. I did think of using packing pieces to straighten it, but that way lies madness, as the model dissolves into a glue-soaked mess of fraying edges, soggy...
