Ferkin blobs is the right words, im having to be careful that i dont paint countries when i do the blobs, must be some kind of sub concious thing, ive already had to paint out Italy and South America


Paul

Sounds MORE like a 'Sub Continent' thing,to me!!!!
Nice work on Dobbin,mate!!

[Paul P.]

Bruce cheers muchly mate. i amaze me self sometimes


Cheers Cee Bee, as long as its not Sub incontinance


Dicky know what ya mean Syria it is then, wonder if anyone would notice


Paul

[wbill76]

Very nice progress Paul! I have the same problem when doing camo patterns...always hard to do a 'random' pattern of anything, it's human nature to want to impose some kind of logic/order wherever possible even to things that are supposed to be the complete opposite!

[Paul P.]

jackwagon the sub continent must be Cumbria then, there isn't anywhere wetter

cheers Bill, no logic with me though mate

Paul

I knew it.....I've seen his bench - Luigi is an alien!!!!!

Now Dicky, there are some things that have to be kept under wraps! It's Andy, not Luigi, that's the alien, remember?

Nah, he's obviously used the mind wipe probe on yer Bill, Andy's bench is impossibly tidy whereas Luigi's.......errrrmmm isn't? Lui's is the ONLY bench that could be seriously tidied using a grenade! Bless 'im!

Nah!!!! Mines pretty close!!!!...Perhaps the whole ferkin MC!!!!

[Paul P.]

Boots cheers mushty, your comments are very much appreciated

I reckon my bench would give it a bit of competition, I tidy it when im told by you know who , thing is when its untidy I know where everything is

Paul

[thenylongag]

Stunning

Absolutely stunning sir

I am not worthy mate
Just stunning
Gag

[Paul P.]

Many thanks Gag,

Well i hope you lot that went to Euro had a good weekend , put loads of pics up.
Bit more to dobbin done today after the barbecue , eeeeeeee barbeque's in September who'd have thought ....Moved along with the mane and realized that the mane wasn't long enough




because i had dropped the head i forgot that the mane would have to extend, so i made another bit








Once i had base coated this i wasn't happy with the bit in the middle so i added a bit more




Also added the forelock at the front








added some colour and then highlights








Ill leave this for a while and see how it looks when the paints settled, in the meantime here's a pic of our latest addition. meet Taz



As you can see hes a viscous hound from hell bent on destroying the world , well my fingers at the moment but I'm sure he will get there

all for now

Paul

[deafpanzer]

What scale is the puppy? Freakin' cute... nice background too!

[Deleted]

Stunning work. My wife loves it as well, being a horse lover

[Paul P.]

Cheers Andy, hes about 1/4 scale at the mo but i suppose he will eventually be 1/1

jackwagon if you ever come up again youll have to watch yr ankles

Cheers Bruce, tell yr other half thanks as well

Paul

[Paul P.]

LMFAO OMFG i was sitting next to her when i read that . shes now bugging me cos she wants to know what i was laughing at

Final pics of the finished front half of dobbin, i toned down the shading on the mane, finished the legs and the fetlocks









Now im going to blow me own trumpet here because i think, so far, that this is the best nag ive painted to date, so im patting meself on the back and giving meself a gold star
Just hope i dont ruin it with the arse end


Paul

[Deleted]

After all that fine work on the front end,...the last thing ya need is a saggy arse,eh?

[wbill76]

Careful Dicky, the special undergarments will make their appearance again from Andy if you keep up that train of thought.

Very nice progress on the mane extensions there Paul, it's a horse weave! Good cause to pat yourself on the back AND award a gold star all in the same evening, looking forward to the 2nd half.

[Leon]

Excellent work on the mane Paul,looking forward to seeing the other half done.

[Steve Zuleski]

Looking better all the time, love the paint, "horsey, that is".

Cheers, Ski.

[Paul P.]

Cee Bee yr right there, no saggy arses in this house

Cheers Bill. I might go back to the chariot for a bit

Thanks Leon much appreciated mate

Paul

[`Boots`]

Terrific stuff as per usual Mr P.......ya pat on the back and gold star is thoroughly deserved fella, is the little fella (Taz) a Jack Russel??

[Paul P.]

Enough about Karen, how's Taz adjusting to Chez Phillips?

Mate I think your lucky your not going to Telford, just remember they never forget, youll turn up at Euro next year and that's all youll remember

Paul

[`Boots`]

He sounds like a little cracker mate , thought i detected a hint of JR tho.......this is mine,

Had since she was 7 weeks........she`s 15 now......deaf as a post......stupid.......but certainly me best friend!!! , does like to be comfortable tho , she normally gets under the fluffy cover but wasn`t so successful and decided to kip on top



Mans best friend `eh!!

[Paul P.]

Shes great mate, we lost our last jacky about 6 months ago, she used to like to get under the blanket as well, must be a jacky thing
