Hi everyone!

I am new to this forum and to the world of miniatures. This is my first piece and I am here to learn, so every piece of advice will be much appreciated.

The piece itself is a 35mm white metal figure by Knight Models and the base was built from scratch using Milliput, plastic sheets (1mm thick I think they were) and thin aluminium wire. It was painted using Vallejo Model Color acrylics, with a triad of colors scheme in mind.

Thanks a lot, Housecarl. Glad you like it.

It is indeed my first. I knew the theory through my father, who has painted miniatures for years and although he is 2500km away is always willing to answer all my questions via email/Skype/Whatsapp... ahhhh technology

I am trying to convince my father to post pictures of his recent works, in the meantime you can check out some of his old stuff here.

Hi Jaime it was good to talk to you at Scale Scotland and see your superb figure.Good to see you on Planet.


Cheers David

Hi David!

It was a pleasure to meet you and get to see your wonderful work "in the flesh"... there's so much to learn from it. Thanks again for the pieces of advice you gave me, much apreciated. I hope we meet again, untill that moment see you around here!

Cheers,

Jaime

Great first figure, very well done.

Hi! Thanks for the thumbs up!

I am thinking of a bust indeed... Latorre's Germanic Warrior for Heroes & Villains. It is going to be challenging. As soon as I finish a couple of side projects I am working on, I'll get to it and then we'll see how I do working with bigger scales :S

Cheers,

Jaime

For your first figure this is top work.

Hi Jaime, sorry I missed you at Edinburgh show but this piece really caught my eye. Superbly painted, but even more so in the flesh!
Great work!

Guys thanks a lot for the positive comments, they really push me forward!

Gells, do not worry I am sure there will be more chances to meet. By the way, that U-Boat commander is looking good...
