Hey James I'm not familiar with the other type of publications you mentioned, so is it colour plates and/or photos, or more text based? Brad

Haha thanks Sherm but it ain't necessarily so... ;) Sure thing Andy. I am looking to purchase a new DSLR quite soon, so I will hold off until then. I'm not sure iPhone photos will suffice!

Thanks lads! Hey Mooners. I have a small 1:35 proportions card that I work off; basically front and side profile of a figure measured out to 52mm tall. It is supposedly a 65kg male at 175cm in height. Once an armature is developed (using a resin torso and pelvis with head and boots on) and is...

Hi all. Been ages since traipsing the forums, but have started to tinker with sculpts again. I am trying to develop a set of US tankers/doughs in the ETO. I am notorious for incompletions, so have impressed myself with the progress I made on this one in (relatively) little time. Please bear in...

Glenn, Joe, thanks for the nice comments. I can see this thread was started about a year ago, and the figure is in the same state! That said, it will not take much to finish it off. Brad

Thanks Mooners, Ron, I started a new gallery named honeycut's sculpts. Apologies for the phone photos; once I have more time I will harvest better pics ;)

Hehe hey lads! I have had a busy couple of days, but thanks for the 'welcome back'. Andy, the travels were great, and some of the locations gave me good food for thought in regards to dioramas. oh dear. I have just realised I cannot recall how to load photos... Gimme a bit and we'll see how I...

Hey all. Well after a year (or two) hiatus, I am finally getting a taste of the modelling world again... I actually dug through some stuff the other day, and have many 80-90% finished projects including AFVs, diorama bases, and sculpted figures... (all 1/35) I can't guarantee I will dive...

Thanks everyone, not least of all for giving hope to plastic sets with attached hands to weapons!! I'll make you guess pal ;) It was a wedding, but deffo not mine. My missus shot through late last year. We were only going out for a few months though. About 100 of them :( Andy, to smooth the...

Thanks Saul. They are probably my best pair of hands to date! Nothing better than having hands on a figure that actually grip a weapon tight. Why they can't cast injection plastic kit weapons with attached hands is a wonder... I did pick his brains on the forums, but he would have better...

Hey all Well here's another that is in the works. As a few of you probably know I juggle a few different sculpts to keep the interest levels piqued; this is no exception... I actually had a similar figure already sculpted, but felt I could do it better and superseded it with this one IMHO. I...

Hey Dan good to hear from you! Rudi, am I to assume you meant strictly US summery deserty blokes? I seem to sculpt US mostly due to interest and therefore reference material, hence me asking for refs, as a change to anything is as good as a holiday. Speaking of holidays... ;)

Thanks all. Have mushed on and have another similar one half finished. You have to strike when the creative jooces flow... What do you have in mind Ruders? Get me some good ref pics ;)

Hey Gator I assume you meant north western France for the Third Army? Southern France was Sixth Army domain. Irrespective of it being summer, there is plenty of photo evidence of 4AD tankers wearing the winter combat jacket and coveralls. I think if you can get a tanker wearing the HBT one...

Hey Mooners, Bob, James. Thanks for dropping in and having a butchers. :) James, this can be done no probs once I have completed the base and subsequent photos of... The next section poured. This is the area of ground underneath the tank. The track lengths are laid out, using the tank...

Hi all Some proof I'm getting back into the swing... Tried a couple of different things for this one, including the 'helmet on helmet' look and a M41 jacket instead of the obligatory Winter combat jacket (the zippered one) Brad

Okay, some progress! I am filling out the depth in sections as required with Plaster of paris, leaving the top layer and the track areas for my more refined wood-filler later. P of P, brown acrylic paint and water. Here I have laid the basic drawing over the top of the scene and extended...

Hey Tom that is well snazzy mate! That soft armour looks the drakes innards too. One thing I wish I had been on earlier to point out is that the rear lifting rings on the edge of the rear deck should be vertical, not perpendicular to the slight downwards slope of the rear deck sides. Look...

Hey Bob Happy 70th mate. Must be good to have all these friends together from the past and present. That is some loaded kitchen bench behind Susan ;) Brad

Well thanks James and I'll give it a crack myself but failing that, I know someone who has had some success with another of my figures... ;) Brad
