I don't know about you Mark but looking at your shots if this "Bucket" car and the two dudes in it.....seems the only thing missing is the vapor escaping their nostrils and mouths.......Those two are freezing their back sides off!!.........excellent piece of work in my opinion. :thumb2: Rick H.

This figure has fought me at every step.
It sits up on the edge of the rear door so I've lavished extra work on it too.



Also trying a new camera out, EOS 1300d... Might need a longer lens and better manual settings....

Does your lens have a macro ability?
For my non-macro lens, I tend to use a 28 to 90mm which can focus as close as 0.38 metres

It does but I'm just starting to use the Eos and I'm unfamiliar with the settings/menus etc.

My old camera is a Fuji finepix HS20 and I know the settings/menus inside out..

Better pictures on my old camera




It needs a slight misting with a matt varnish to kill any shine but first I need to tackle those boots, felt and leather!

Looking superb! I had to look twice at the map case.....very realistic.....just out of curiosity, how long have you spent putting color on this guy? :thinking: Rick H.

Probably about 20 to 30 hours... I think a full figure in 1/16th takes me about 40 hours , but I tend to work in short segments due to my eye problems, so it's harder to tell these days..

Amazing!
