Just a heads up to let you know that Angel Giraldez, one of the hobby's top painters, is posting tutorials on his YT channel... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVY6ZD9YjxwPzJqJ6DcHgA/videos The videos are in Spanish with English subtitles. Over the past couple of months he's posted a few...

Anyone got any tips on how to do the writing on the shoulder flash?

Glasgow. I thought everyone on this forum was in Glasgow :) Those are great links Billy, thanks very much. There are some beautiful flats available, aren't there? I've never painted one but it should make a nice change from military themed figures. Thanks again for taking the the time (y)

I was hoping you would know. Thanks very much :)

Hi A while back I saw some flats in an art nouveau style which, I think, were produced by a guy called Detlef Belashk. I'm pretty sure they were based on late 19th century paintings/illustrations and the series may have been called "The Muses". I've been searching for them recently but can...

Thanks very much for those links, some great info there. The writer puts many of the technical terms into a context that figure painters can relate to. cheers

Thanks very much guys. I've never used anything other than a throw away camera (not for figures), so I didn't want to waste time messing around with a standard lens if it isn't even possible to get decent photos. cheers

Cheeky wee bump. No opinions?

Did you notice the brand of the acrylics? I can't make it out on the photo you've posted. cheers

Thanks very much for the info. I'm going to have to get one and give it a try (y) Cheers

That sounds very handy. Can you tell us... 1) was the bust made of resin? 2) did it come out unscathed? 3) what particular type of Dettol did you use, as I've never even thought of using it to strip paint? thanks

Hello I'm going to buy a DSLR, probably a Nikon D3300. I'll only be using it to photograph figures. Can anyone tell me if I need a macro lens, or will the standard 18-55mm be good enough? For example, a couple of weeks ago Sang Eon Lee posted photos of his latest bust...

Cheers, mate. That's a good photo, it'll come in handy for painting :thumb:

Love it! Must have. Just out of interest, can anyone give us any info on the coat? Is it a greatcoat or maybe some type of naval issue?

Thought so. The figure's resemblance to Oleg is a dead give away :)

WOW! Stunning. :thumb:

I think it's a great bust and I'll be buying it.

I think it's great. If that's a first attempt at sculpting/re-modelling a figure then you've obviously got a knack for it. Good stuff. BTW, you wouldn't happen to be the same Tony Taylor who frequents a Russian flight sim forum of ill repute, would you?

Thanks very much for the help, guys. Much appreciated :thumb:

Hello A friend in America is trying to track down a figure of a WW1 French officer. The figure is running, maybe partly crouched, with a revolver in its hand. I think the figure is relatively large scale, 75 maybe 90mm. It's been years since I've seen any photos of this fig on the web so I...
