    Here's where I'm up to with my first attempt at a flat. Its one of Ken Farrer's from Mil mart- and I know he lurks around on this site, so thought I'd embarrass him! Yes, and it is painted in black and white! Told yah I was gonna do that Ken, I also stuck your sculpt on a piece of plasticard and extended your sculpt to the borders with magic sculpt... heh heh

    Very effective. I walked out of the room for a second and when I came back in, I thought I was looking at the actual photograph up on the screen. Well done

    Hi David, I've been waiting to see what you were going to do with this, brilliant work mate and a very effective result. (y)(y)

    Thanks v much fellas- this is barely modelling at all, more like canvass painting, and then in black and white, even more like pencil sketching.

    Now, I've got it to this point- and it looks pretty sketchy, and I could push it and go for a really smooth finish, adding acrylic glazes to blur the transitions - which is the standard procedure for the 3d fig modeller. But I'm tempted to leave it like this - like it looks like a pencil sketch...

    Very nice job on this, I'd be inclined to leave it as is, as you say looks like a pencil sketch. Ken you'll be delighted to hear that Mrs Helm has her eye on this next :eek: Over to you Mr Barton :unsure:

    I saw the thumbnail, and thought it was the image. Very nice!

    I will leave it! I'm going to get it into a nice pic frame and maybe hang it up at home! most of the flats I have seen have seen have more polish than this, but it has a certain rustic charm I think!

    David good call and looking forward to seeing it at last at the next club meeting.(y)

    Feel obliged to bring it Ken! It was a nice little project which I estimate took no more than 8 hours model time! Got a few more of yours which I might have a go at! the idea I have - following on from this and Carl Startins version of your Stalingrad trench flat, is to mount up and paint a background to give it perspective...

    If I were you, I'd leave it a while and see how you feel.

    It's perfectly fine from here, top job there.
