Classic look. I like it. 

[AlanG]

Well my first ever attempt at face painting. It's not quite Freddie Kruger but it also isn't Richard Gere

 

[BlrwestSiR]

That looks great Alan. I'm going to have to do some figures at some point myself.

I started on the Takom PzIII.

Turns out the hull is slightly warped so the wheels don't sit flat. 

So....

I'm back to working on the B-24.

Switching in warp speed from kit to kit .

Well apart from the head being blu-tac'd on. This figure is done. I haven't added the dust to the boots or bottom of the trousers yet as i'll do that when i've finished the other figures. Quite chuffed with how this turned out. Not bad for my first ever figure

 

[Martinnfb]

Looks fantastic.

You have no idea Rob. I think I opened about 4 or 5 kits before I had settled on the PzIII then looked at the turrets when I noticed the warp.

Looks great Alan.

Maybe the blutac heads could be a Worzel Gummidge reference. Swap heads are required for the function.

Alan, amazing I’d be over the moon if I could produce one half as good……I need to crack this figure stuff as they do animate a model……

Nice to see you're going back to work on the B-24.

Is Takom going to replace the warped turret? Sure hope so.

Keep 'em comin

After two weeks of working in my cave / workshop, where I started with wood protection on the ceiling, continued with painting the walls and finally repainted the floor, I'm more than ready to start something new. There was the 1/20 McLaren MP4/2 from Aoshima, the Minerva armored car from CSM, the Gloster Gladiator from ICM or the WNW AEG G.IV.
                                                                                                                            BUT
                                                                                                 I decided to start something different.
I picked the inviting box of my Vanguard kit of the Duchess of Kingston from the shelf, and like always, when I opened the box, felt the immediat urge to start building.
I played a bit with the mdf parts, installed my sander onto the bench and if I stay with the kit, I will start a WIP, where I hope to receive a lot of input from you about this relatively new territory for me.

Cheers Rob

Go for it ... something so very different and the end result will be a gorgeous display model and a build we will all learn from. So glad you finished redoing/upgrading your workshop and it helps fire up the juices. We're still in the middle of our home renovation but my studio/hobby room is done as well as the main bathroom. I'm hoping to start a new build soon but painting will be an issue as dust seems to be a main product of the renovation.

Will be sitting front and center for the entire journey

Keep 'em comin

Working on another figure. Again, another Trumpeter 1/16 Soviet ww2 tanker.

Woking on the head.

[harv]

Wow....harv 

[Martinnfb]

Fantastic result, kinda looks like Charles Bronson  

[belugawhaleman]

Thanks, He actually looks better " in person " (so did Bronson).. I never get pictures right.

This will be cool to follow ! I always wished I had the skill to build such a kit.

Right with Harv ... super work on the figures head .. Not quite Charlie Bronson but close.

[belugawhaleman]

Some more progress on the figure.

[belugawhaleman]

Another figure. A Classy Hobby German tanker.

[BlrwestSiR]

Gatlings!

Trying to figure out an option for the ICM AH-1 kit. I've got the kit one,  Aber in brass, CMK in resin. 

The Aber is the wrong length so I'd have to cut it down a bit. 

[Martinnfb]

Brass barrels, combined with the CMK resin body should look stellar
