Ok, Guys, I thought I'd post some pics of some figs I've got on the boil at the moment First up, a simple conversion of a DML Panzergrenadier   Nearly finished this one, so watch this space! Next, 'Brothers in arms'  Last, but not least, 'To the last bullet'   Still a s***load of work to do yet, but what do you think so far? Any good, or bin 'em and start again?  Gary.  |

What do I think?
Sculpt your own heads and hands then ....
Send 'em out for casting and start your own company. Seriously!
Beautiful work!

OK Guys, Little update... No plans for commercial release.. Sorry about that! Seriously, I'm that busy at the moment, I'm lucky if I get a chance to f**t, never mind set up a company! Anyway, I can't sculpt heads to save my life, so all royalties would go to Roger Saunders! I've done a bit more with them though, a few changes here and there. First, 'Brothers in arms': I decided to get rid of the parka on the guy with the bandaged head and give him a snow smock instead.  I got the lower part done. I also positioned his right arm, which will be holding the wounded guys belt.  'To the last bullet': This one has had quite a few changes... I wanted the scene to be more 'Heroic', depicting a 'Last stand'. I started the rework by tilting the shooters head back slightly. This entailed resculpting the collar area. While I was at it, I gave him a Knights Cross. What the heck, he deserves it!   I also wanted the scene to have more emotion in it, so the wounded man is now gripping the hand of the shooter. Unfortunately, this meant that most of the detail had to be stripped away and now has to be redone.   I've got the enthusiasm back on these now, so the bin is off the cards ;D ;D I think it now looks a lot better. What do you think? Any thoughts on it? Gary. |

Gary, if you need bin space to bin them, I've got a load of it. The "Brothers in arms" vignette is stunningly beautiful, but "To the last bullet" is even better. Can't wait to see it with some paint on |

what do u use to sculp with Gary? You mean the putty? 50/50 mix of Green Stuff and Blue/Grey milliput. Equal parts of everything! Takes detail like Green stuff, but can be worked with water and a brush and dries rock hard like Milliput, so can be filed and engraved. To do the sculpting, I just use shaped cocktail sticks, a needle and size 0 taper and chisel colourshapers [http://www.artifolk.co.uk/catalog/products/colour_shapers/colour_shaper_artists_tool_firm.htm] Hope this helps. Gary. |

Right then Gents, another update.... Done a bit more with 'To the last bullet'.     I'm starting to get it together on this one now, problem is, work keeps getting in the way  I'm also doing a figure for the HF sniper campaign. My thoughts were for an end of war scene in Berlin 1945. A bloke armed with a Stg44 with IR sight. I've not seen it done before, so I thought I'd have a go!    It started off as a Masterbox figure, then I got a bit carried away! In case anyone's wondering, he's using the knife to hold back some curtains I've still got to make Until next time.... Gary |
