Hi fellow modellers and painters,

my name is Ulf Petersen and I live in Germany, near Hamburg.
My main spare time activity is scale modelling. But painting busts and figures is great fun to me as well.
My first attempt with painting a bust and some 1:16 figures I made in 2011 - so I am afraid my experience is not that impressing, but I am always curious and willing to learn.
I work with Vallejo Model Colour and W&N Series 7 brushes.

The reason for me to sign in here was a visit at the Cheb Model Show this October where I listened to a figure sculpting workshop given by Radek Pituch, who is a member here.
I plan to make some quite ambitious Dioramas where I will have to sculpt own figures in 1:35 for as there is nothing suitable available on the market. I hope to learn a lot here and to get some support with my ideas.

Looking forward to having a good time with you.

Regards

Ulf

Welcome from the states. You're in a great place here.

Thank you, Samson. You're right, I already noticed it.

@John: is it possible that you posted here by mistake?

Ulf welcome and enjoy the forum. I look forward to seeing you post some models.
I am a big fan of dioramas and scenes.

Happy modelling Paul.

John......Yes 'sarum mistake' surely.

Paul

Thank you, Paul!

Is this within the range you like?

Oh yes lovely.

Terrific groundwork and interaction of the figures.

That is a great silver birch tree rear left.

Thanks for sharing,
