British Pilot WW1

I don't know if I have ever shown this figure.  It's a 54mm (small for me) Latorre WW! British pilot.  Painted with acrylics...

Some More Photos.......

Here are a few more pictures of the Josey Wales bust...

Josey Wales

Well,  here is the finished bust of Josey Wales....  A lot of work,  even harder to photograph with the hat....

New Lighting Set Up

I take a LOT of pictures of figures......  I have been using two old- I mean really old constant lights- Victor 8" photoflood with CFL bulbs. These are attached to some really janky light stands.   Although it works, it has limits on controlling the light and the amount of light.  So I just switched to using two strobes (Canon Speed light and a Vivitar 383).  I have them set up with a small softbox and diffuser- plus new light stands.
Although there is a learning curve for flash- its pretty simple.  Set everything to Manual and fire away.  Of course there is more to it.  I have manual flash triggers attached to the strobes and to my Canon 60d.   So far I like the control and the nice color  (white) balance.  So here are a couple of test shots.  Actually Josey Wales is shot with this set up too.

Josey Wales

This is Legends and Lore (out of business company) 1/9 scale bust of "The Outlaw Josey Wales".  The kit is terrible except for the face.  I had to re sculpt a lot of the figure, plus scratch build two Colt Walker pistols.  So here is the progress so far........

A New Issue of Model Military International

Merry Christmas!
