Re:Japanese Work Crew-tree/base progress I have some static grass but I haven't had much luck with it before. I'll probably add tufts of it around the sidewalk and tree and go for a cartoonish feel with the dio in general. I'm thinking of adding texture to the "grass" with chalk pastels. The...

Re:Japanese Work Crew-27/04/10 An update. Next, weathering and accessories!

Outstanding Jenny!

Nice! Your kids won't forget that experience. The figure is so realistic.

Major Matt Mason sounds pretty cool. I had a few Johnny West figures and they ruled! I remember my brother and I having Johnny West with his horse, Geronimo (my favourite), a Cavalryman, and a bad guy in black duds. They had lots of cool accessories.

Nice, lots going on there. I like the figure with the apple, converted from the old Tamiya SdKfz 7 kit?

Re:US MARINE AUTOMATIC RIFLEMAN IWO JIMA 1945 Giovanni, the "Marines" group build just started two days ago. I expect you could still join. I'm joining with some tiny figures. Again, this figure you finished is inspired. Thanks for sharing. Ted

Re:US MARINE AUTOMATIC RIFLEMAN IWO JIMA 1945 excellent Giovanni, It's good reference for those of us in the "Marines" group build.

Nice Pavel, I like the machine gun blockade. It and the figures add a sense of urgency.

Here's a video of the scene I'd like to protray. Now if only I could robotically animate 1/35 plastic and resin figures.

Congratulations Laura. I really like this lighthearted scene and the French Gendarme.

Very cute. Those frogs are sooo small :blink: , amazing sculpting.

Thanks Jenny! It would be fun to see photos of members' "first" models compared to what they build now, like a "Then and Now" gallery. My local hobby shop has a few of these 1/16th Dragon and Miniart figures. The price is right so I'll probably get a couple more. Although the detail was good...

Thanks Brad and Bob. Here's the completed figure. The resin base is from rjproducts IIRC. I'm happy with how it turned out. Now I want to do a few more 1/16 figures.

Holy smokes, thanks Cheyenne. No excuses now.

Wow, inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

I'll try building a dio around this scene.It's the North Shore Regiment from New Brunswick in the initial assault on D-Day. The pictures are from a film shot aboard the LCA. There will have to be about 40 converted figures and the LCA will have to be scratchbuilt :silly: .

Good detective work. I think your justification for the weathering make sense. The rust looks real.

Here's the Dragon 1/16th scale British Airbourne Sergeant. I sculpted the beret with two part putty. I painted the face with oils over acrylic and the rest with Vallejo acrylics. Still lots of work to do, I have to tone down the camo and the brass bits. Overall I'm happy with the figure, the...
