That tail is MEAN looking!

Yarp - pretty darn good. Maybe a little too much physical moss on the top level?

Now ... THOSE are SPIKES!!!! ! :mrgreen: https://i.postimg.cc/qRxDfnMb/Thats-a-Knife.jpg Given so many North Americans manage to confuse the English & Australian accents - that picture is NOT helping !!!!!! :) Coming along nicely Joe. I fear I am in the minority as regards the horns though - th...

You make it sound SO easy - but we know it's not!

That's cleverly done, and a great result. Even more so when you know it's your first time trying this!

Base is looking awesome overall too.

. Takes about a minute until it gets really into the groove, but watching the poseurs & "normy" crowd react to this made me smile :) Metallica take on Elton John & Bernie Taupin's CLASSIC 1973 "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" combo of "Funeral for a Friend" / "...

Now THAT was pretty impressive! - ta muchly (* would like to hear a Halestorm version of this - for obvious reasons *)

Dinsdale - LOL

Looking ever-better Joe!


.

. Michael my friend - it sure as heck HAS been a while. We missed you round these here parts! It's funny - I was thinking of you and your builds last Saturday during MCTV when the question about "best painters" was raised! As always with you - this is an amazing build & paint-job - gr...

My name is "Spike", of the clan Campbell.

I am 506 years old, and my hair can never be dyed.

How many trips can you possibly take back to Scotland? . . .

Is this part of hte new'ish series that has like 6 minis in 3 boxes, for Iron Maiden? I've been wondering what those were like. Here you go Robert :arrow: https://theclubhouse1.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=123577&start=165 and https://theclubhouse1.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=123577&start=170 .

. . . Ian, Steve , Vlad, I sincerely appreciate and respect your frequent helpful feedback, but in this case I am sticking with the tail versus pug design. I just have it in my head that this creature is part bull, so it I think it needs a tail (but I did shorten the tail). Also, who would be fooli...

Well-done Trev - I can't believe you managed to paint one of these! . . . nice work too

That lighter looks pretty realistic too!

Having scrolled back up the page - that gets my vote too.

You'll figure it out though Joe - you always do.

. I occasionally listen to / watch "Critical Drinker", but he's one of the "moany mob" that finds fault with pretty much everything. As such - I tend to not bother with most of his "reviews", and the ones I DO decide to go for, I never take seriously. He has a good sen...

Personally - I'd just have it as a regular horses tail (but that's me).

Other than that - looks great!


.

. Yeah - I loved it. I'll be watching it again very soon. Got a little silly towards the end when we got a more cartoonish version of the bad guy (and he wasn't exactly "serious" at the beginning!) Don't understand the hate this one got. I appreciate that the original is considered a clas...

Yeah - I'm a star "basher" . . . move over Joe Heil - Spike's in the building

Sorry to hear of your troubles. Ta. Replacement tooth/fang created. Now to (1) try out transparent colour matches to get as close as I can, before (2) attaching, and then (3) giving all 4 fangs AND all the regular teeth more transparent coats to make sure they all match. https://i.postimg.cc/fW6P0H...

Amazing paintwork - I was going to call out the scarf in particular, but then everything else is perfect too.

The finish on the spade makes it look almost exactly like a treasured item I had to leave behind in good ol' England.

Ta. I wasn't sure if that was the capacity of the metal insert or the resin outer. But 600ml means it would EASY take a full-size can of beer (usually about 473ml here), and would make sense, since they are designed in the UK, and 600ml is an Imperial pint. Once I figure out how to replace/paint the...
