Life Miniatures, Stalingrad 1942

Here is a quick shot of my latest project-  Life Miniatures Stalingrad 1942.  I have been working on the face and have scratch-built the glasses.  The kit's glasses seemed too heavy for my taste.  I have made lenses for these out of .10" plastic, but the figure looks better without the lenses.  From normal viewing distance you can't tell if there is lenses in the frames or not.

Chicago!

Just arrived home from the MMSI Chicago Show.   It was a great time. The organizers put on a great show- my hat's off to them. Thanks to everyone that attended my seminar,  I hope I was able to explain my techniques effectively.     I received a Gold medal for the British bust (Somme 1916).  Below is a picture of my display:

Some pieces that caught my eye:

Bishop of Strasbourg 1262 Finished

Here is the FEX kit of the Bishop of Strasbourg.  There was slim and almost no references for painting this guy- aside from a 1/6 scale action figure....   anyway   here is the completed figure.

USAAF Red Tails and more......

I have the honor of doing the box art for Thunderbird Miniatures new release which is two figures- Tuskegee Airman and a USAAF pilot. This is a 100 mm figure sculpted by Mike Good.   Both the figures use the same torso, but each has two separate heads- your choice.

Here is Mike's photos of the master (I hope he doesn't mind)






 Here is my progress on the Red Tail Pilot-- still a lot to do-
