It is very good to see you posting again and to be back with such a great update too...

Your Son's are amazing work - Some of the best I have seen - but your WWII stuff is even more amazing, keep up the good work dude.

the ship is going to be a challenge i'll stick to the official colour scheme for this on (naval grey) and put ot on a nice water base.. the swedish navy ships have some really funky camouflage paterns so i may do one of them at some point. here is a picture of the finished unpainted ship (not mine) so you can get an idea of all the fiddly brass bits lol

Still amazing work. I love the tank and termi. where did you get that boat kit?

Hi everyone!

first thanks for the complements and feed back!!

after successive fails at updating and uploading pictures and damaging my car i am here with a quick update on the LOTR figure!

but first a few replies

i got the boat along with 3 others from a colleague who i helped with some mini painting. he's very much into his model boats and has family in china (the home of cheap model kits) he bought the kits over there with the plan of selling them here.. i think they retail at £40 to £50 here i think.. this sight sells them: http://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/category/SHP/SH35MW/maker/ORA.html

my modelling budget is limited after this:
hit a 10 inch curb and bent wishbones, axle, connecting rods and bent the wheel.. not to mention the bumper.. my first quote was £900 so will be doing it with a family friend who's a mechanic.

now the elf..


rather pleased with how he's coming along, what are your thoughts??

as always, comments and constructive criticism are welcome

Chris

Cheers mate, it was in the college car park which was embarrassing, it was about 5:15 in the evening and i was driving from one car park to another to drop in my last piece of coursework and was undecided whether i should go round the one way the right way or wrong way. i decided to go the right way and in so doing had to turn a corner, so i put my foot on the brake, alas it slipped of onto the gas.. and ZOOOOOM!!! BANG!!!! straight into the curb.. it would have been fine if it was normal sized.. unfortunately it was one of the really big ones so yeah basically all the suspension and drive parts for that wheel are bent.. i was fine.. it was only about 15mph but that's enough to cause some damage to the car..

anyway.. i've just had a crack at some free hand on the sash:



the lighting isnt particularly good and a bit of tidying may be needed but what do you think??

I quite like it (or the end result in my head)

SoO

Adds a nice peice of detail to a static model.. Aces

The face reminds me or Marlon Brando in the godfather..

I like the freehand. You do marvelous work Chris, Keep up the good work.
Also.
Keep up with the school work. I just finished my degree and am finding my way in the job market. Its just one of those things that you have to do.

Great work, as stated above countless times... Skin is fantastically painted.

Shame about the car dude... I know the feeling cost wise. Shattered the droplinks and cracked exhaust etc etc :(

There incredibly well painted
what paint colours did you use for the space marines
