Boots cheers matey  Bill your right ill stick to milliput Managed to get quite a bit done tonight, the rest of the mail shirt, the right sleeve and started on the helmet. Ive also added big bushy celtic style tache, makes him look a bit oriental at the mo but hopefully when the long hair goes on it should be ok    i will have to rearrange the mail shirt at some point to accomodate the sword belt, and i may bulk it out a bit around the waist from where it would sag as he is sat down all for now Paul |

WOW! Killer job on the chain mail! How in the world did you accomplish this task?!?!? Great work! Cheers Andy, chainmail is done by using a fine syringe needle, file the point down until you are left with a C shape, Its just a case then of indenting the putty first one way then turn the needle round for the next layer and repeat so you get the S shape of the chainmail, quite time consuming but its a decent effect. Cheers Bruce glad you like it Paul |

cheers me little dreamy mucka always appreciate ya comments Went to the Lowther show today and watched some knights jousting, it was quite spectacular , Back on the bench i had a go at the cloak. These are always fiddly things to get the creases looking natural and this was my second attempt    I have to remember that it has to come off as well or it would be very difficult to paint all for now Paul |

Many thanks Deano and Andy next update inbound Did a bit more to the helmet, mainly cleaning it up, and added the hair, this will also need smoothing out, and i cheated a bit  ..............just a little bit  .......a teeny weeny bit  ............i used the chinscales from the cuirassier figure i thought they looked good     Dont know if you can see it but i also added a cloak pin all for now Paul |

We won't let your secret out about the chinscales Paul! As for marketing stretched sprue, so long as it comes 'pre-stretched' in various sizes, you could make a fortune! |

Cheers leon your comments are always appreciated Mums the word Bill, thats my new business then, "stretched sprus R us" comes in various stretchyness and 2 colours Grey or ......Grey £2.99 per bag and £1.99 P and P Final bit for the weekend, i made his sword, i had a few different pics of celtic swords and decided to go for this one First made the basic shape  Then added the metal work to the top and bottom  Then added a bit of binding, these celts must have been S and M mad  Finally made the handle and the pommel  Not a great deal more to do with this guy, the arms with a bit of wrist decoration, and thats about him ready all for now Paul |

Gee, where did I get here?! First Dicky and now Paul. Your scratch-work is intimidating to others and now it's topped off with figure sculpting! Waiting for Queenie on her back, err, wrong place. Cheers! Tobi |
