Stormtrooper 60th Regt 1812

[Paul Kernan]

I recently picked up a new camera and decided to post the backlog of pieces I've picking off my 'grey army'

Stormtrooper 60th Royal American, War of 1812
1/9 scale
Painted in oils and printers inks over enamels

either your camera is not taking pictures, or you did not attach one.
OR my connection is playing up.

Whatever the reasone, I see no pictures

 

[Paul Kernan]

Thanks Highlander ...I'm showing they are attached and I can see them when I click on the file icon and the DSC. jpg beside it but I guess nothing is coming out when you look at. Not sure if has to do with the original format downloaded from the camera. A photographer, I ain't

Excellent painting, love the flesh tone and the greens, superb.

Thanks Nap. Not sure why its not working. I'm doing what I usually do, which is create the thread, upload a file from my photos, add commentary and post. Viola! except today. Hmmm

Thanks everyone for all the positive vibes. This bust was a pleasure to work on. Literally a few strokes with a blade and a swipe of putty to fill the seam. I did fill out the side burns a bit but that was a personal choice rather than a problem with the kit. Stormtrooper is one of my favourite companies.

Excellent.
