Hi everyone! It's been a long time, at least THREE month since I worked something. A lot of professional work, some health problems, I was too tired every time I tried to sit at the workbench. This time I had to start a project, a Japanese vignette, for a good friend who already made the plane. Florin sent to me the figurine, a resin one, with good details, event that it required some putty. I present you the different phases until now. As usual, Vallejo colours, washes and inks and a Heavy Metal from Scale75, Winsor and Newton brushes and a wet palette. I'll have many errors to correct. Cheers, Nicolae      |

Still no pics Nic! I looked at a few other threads and the same problem.  Looks like it has something to do with Postimg.org. |

Wondered about you not long time ago. Saw a figure at the show last weekend and I thought about you. Great start on the pilot!

Thank you, Andy. Just a crazy period, a lot of work, very tired and some health problems. But now I'm coming back, even that I still miss the time for the hobby. I hope at least to finish the projects started last year.
Warm regards,
Nicolae

Hi Nicusi,
I am glad you are feeling bit better and that you want to be back at the bench.
The Ultracast range of pilots a great I have done a few. This is coming along really well and I look forward to see you progressing with him, and to reading that your health/work problems are improving.
Thanks for posting.
Dennis

PJ, Andy, thank you!
Still working on the head, the glasses gave me a lot of pain as I tried to work there some effects.
Cheers,

They're both excellent. Ultracast make wonderful figures. But I have to say that the Tamiya figure is almost as good as its resin counterpart.

Thank you, John! It was my first experiment with Ultracast, indeed, a pleasant one. At the beginning, I was somehow worried with this old Tamiya figurine, but during the painting process, I realized he could be quite a nice surprise.
It's not the quality, but recent eyes problems that didn't allow me to make justice to this figurine too.
Cheers,
Nicolae

Looks like it has something to do with Postimg.org.
