--dj--Joe Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Zook, I agree, very nice and well based figures.Do you keep them under glass?--dj--Joe
zook Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 thanks guys! - Nope...the figurines simply sit on "marble candle holders" (courtesy of pier one), high up on bookshelves in my study...amongst my medals and book collection. I painted these figures about 10 years ago, while working shift hours in the Pentagon.. I keep them clean my lightly blowing compressed air on them. I used acrylics mixed with enamel... only way to take the shine out of the cloth on the uniforms. Key is, I was SINGLE at the time when I painted these. My wife is trying to get me back into painting figurines, but we have 4 boys (all under the age of 11). She doesn't understand that, when I get in a rythm, I don't like to stop painting! I used to go for anywhere from 4 to 8 hours at a time. You can't do that with my current army!! Anyway...attaching one more this evening... a Zulu war scene. regards, Dan

lazyschnauzer Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Quite nice! Haven't posted here in quite a while. This is my latest. 1/16th scale. The rifle, head, hands, canteen, first aid pouch are kit parts, but the rest is sculpted using MagicSculpt and Kneadatite. I'm posting the photos in b x w because the figure hasn't been painted yet. I'm not a painter. My Yorkshire friend, Roger Newsome, will be painting this 1917 US infantryman armed with a Springfield M1903A4 with sniper scope. All the best, Dan
