    Hello everyone, I'm getting back into modelling after a short break of 51 years and I think the route I've chosen is one you may not of seen before. I have 12 beat up plastic Wood pigeon decoys that I'm going to practise air brushing with acrylics to as realistic standard as possible. Small beer compared to some of the art work on this site but a start. Looking at some of the work in the galleries has inspired me to try again from where I left off modelling miniatures in the 70's ( Airfix kits, enamel paints you get the picture)
    So I'll paint the decoys , try to con the real pigeons (Not hard) and advance from there.

    Laters!

    Beware the jabberwock, my son, the jaws that bite, the claws that catch.
    Beware the jubjub bird and shun the frumious bandersnatch.

    Hello, Jabberwocky, and welcome to Planet Figure, the best miniatures site on the net. We're happy to have you with us and look forward to seeing your work.

    Welcome to the Planet, Jabberwocky! Isle of Wight, eh? If it's not too dear.... (Beatles reference! :D)

    I look forward to seeing everything and anything you're working on, including those decoys! You never know where you might pick up some tip or bit of information, and I'm always curious to see the techniques or mechanics of what everyone does.

    Prost!
