Oh cool- i enquired at nt a whiles back. Their stuffs always nicely turned out.

Hmmmmmm, interesting... I may pm you!

Robb

Oh cool - i hadn't realised that.

Just out of Interest,do you do your own moulding / casting?

Oh i do i do! I likes that paint work at the top also.

Wow, how those came out real nice. Looking forward to seeing the 1/6th ones.

Robb

Well tasty as always. Gotta love your work ethic!

Nice choice of moovie also!

Robb

cool- Some brave modelling there! I love a challenge me...well, I love to hack kits apart and then not finish them for years.

You're going great guns tho - I cant wait to see how this looks together. Don't remember seeing a lit spinner before and this looks ace already.


Robb

Blimey, those are impressive.

word to the wise tho - the video's fine, but the other links don't work... maybe that accounts for the lack of posts!

robb

Cool! I've been hoping for a few years that you'd do these again.

Robb

Great idea for a thread!

Flints theatrical supplies are good for bits and bobs esp armature wire.

Yeah! This finished up well nice. Kudos as ever tony.
Robb

Just lovely!

Robb

No really.... an update! Right, where were we? Having started on this guy again after a considerable lay off I found I really wasn't so happy with how he looked, so i set about tightening him up.

I hear that. My girlfriends ears find their way into everything!

Robb

Waaaaaaaay cool. Also, loving that hair man- kudos.
Robb

Very nice nice nice.

Always a pleasure, never a chore!

Robb

Yeah, just to polish it. I'd bought the bare metal polish ( bare metal is the brand name - same guys as the foils and the panel scriber and comes in the same style bottle as micro sol/set) before at a show and in modelzone I think, but i'll be jiggered if i can find the stuff now!

Allo folkes, hope you're all well. Just wondering, anyone know where I can get me some bare metal plastic polish in the UK? Or failing that, something I can use in its stead? Can I just use brasso, or is it too abrasive? Can it be cut with something maybe? Can't find the bare metal stuff anywheres! ...

I get such a kick out of your stuff Tony. Always so well executed and always a subject that's so far out of left field it makes absolute sense! looking forward to seeing it finished. *edit - also, on what Mike said - the grey is hard to get over here and expensive when you do find it however...one b...

Nice! Cool pose.

I'd go with plasticard for the blades. Any thickness you could want and easy to shape and clean up.

Not in 1/3rd really, but I sculpt plenty of larger bits in wet clay for work. Long as you keep it wet its pretty easy to avoid cracking. Do you intend to fire it? if so, I'm definitely in no place to advise you... but assuming you're either not going to be keeping it, or intend on moulding the sculp...
