101 Airborne- 200mm Pegaso

This is the Pegaso kit- 200mm 101st Airborne Trooper. I use mostly acrylics and a little oils for the leather stuff.

I am proud to present this bust- 1st Virginia Continental Line, 1781.  this is a new kit offered by the Artists preservation group (APG).  the bust was sculpted by Mike Stelzel and painted by me.  

The kit will be available on June 1, 2017.  Right now the APG store website is being constructed, so contact Mike if you would like one.  He can be reached at infomikeapg@aol.com  $45 plus postage.  The monies go towards a great cause.  If you are not familiar with the APG, please check the website out  https://artistpreservationgroup.com/

I believe this bust will be auctioned off at an upcoming APG auction.

German Trench Raider WW1

Here is Young Miniatures WW1 Trench Raider dude.  I used Vallejo and Jo Sonja acrylics.  I kept the helmet plain, as a lot of modelers have painted with the cammo pattern.  But after reading several books, it seems the plain helmet was more common.  I dirtied it up with assorted pigments and gel mediums.

First One of 2017!

Here is a little vignette of two 101st  Airborne troopers getting ready to load up on D Day.  1/35 scale, Minisoldiers brand.  Resin, painted with acrylics and oils.  Not used to something so small!

Last One for 2016!

The Russians are Coming!!

This is a United Empire bust of a Caucasian Cossack, 1862.  It only has three pieces, so it was sort of easy to do.

Merry Christmas!

Hell From Above!

Here is a very large half figure I just finished.  It is 1/6 scale.  It depicts a helicopter door gunner, Vietnam.  Enjoy

Airborne!

Here  is  a repeat of a bust I did years ago.  Young Miniatures 101 Airborne bust.  I also included a comparison picture of the old and new.

A Little Adjustment

The collector who commissioned the Japanese Sniper asked that I "dirty" him up a bit- to reflect the hot, grimy, sweaty conditions in the pacific jungle.  So here is the finished product-  I like it better too.
