After seeing a completed build of the Company's 'Pulp Fiction' figures ( Here ) I just had to check the company out. And so this one and Leon, were soon winging their way to me. The warrior is a superbly cast piece of resin, with just a few separate cast items - face guard, shield, sword and base. Spent a couple of hours last night getting his face painted, colours from the Mr Paint range - Basic Flesh, Dark Shadow, Light Skin. - Basic flesh first in a couple of layers then a wash of dark shadow over the whole face, to find the shadow areas. then the shadow areas and highlights were painted in with various darker and lighter shades. to give him a bellowing and cold look some red was added into the highlight mix, then to tie it all up a wash coat of basic flesh was applied. The lips were painted in various shades of red from AK, from reddish black/brown through to crimson red and a few taps of pink and dark red tapped onto the lips. Helmet is base coated along with the beard, which will now have progressively lighter shades of yellow added in layers. Thanks for looking p.s. Think this is the first time the carpet monster has devoured a whole resin figure , need to send out the special forces team to find him. 🙂

Well chuffed. Walked around the competition area, collecting my entries and looked over towards the table where this model was and spotted a little plastic card, so tried to act all nonchelant and wondered round. Only gone and got a Bronze!, Maybe if i had glued the rider to the camel, so it could be picked up might have been higher lol !! Sitting proud in my display cabinet; Thanks for looking.

Finished post is Here

Finally finished this stunning resin kit from RP Models, no build issues at all, hands on the lance were tricky though as i could have done with a 3rd arm (!) to hold it all in place, in the end I used some slow setting super glue to get things lined up, but then the problem was it took 30 seconds to set, which seemed like a lifetime! The whole model has been painted in various acrylics with paints from the usual suspects - Vallejo, Tamiya & Ammo. Thoroughly enjoyed building and painting this one. And just in time for Scale Model World in Telford this weekend (9th & 10th Nov); Thanks for looking.

95% Complete. Just need to add her tail back on, tassles on her neck armour, touch up the base of her head piece, and add a couple of bits to the warrior then its complete. Oo and add some dust clouds around the running feet. Thanks for looking.

A little progress update. Rider is complete, waiting for some slow set superglue to get his hands and lance/spear attached to the arms. All painting work on him is complete; Added the rider (blue tack for now) to the camel and its quite a sight !; Cleaned up all the tassles, reins and arrows last night, so need to to get them painted very soon as not long left now to Scale Model World on the 9th Nov.

Finished this one some time ago. Mookies Miniatures 1/10th Bust of 3SBS Falklands (Fanning Head raid), 1st time painting DPM at this scale, was fun though; Thanks for looking.

Finished this one some time ago. Nuts Planet figure of a female robot / Android hunter. Was great fun to paint; Thanks for looking.

Good 1st try, If i was to be critical his right iris needs better definition. To be fair yes are a right royal pain in the bottom to paint, It just looks from some angles that the iris has bled into the lacrimal gland. 😀

those decals look excellent, do they do them in larger sizes do you know

Slowly Getting there;

Hi, Photos of the finished vignette finally uploaded Here

Finished this fantastic little vignette from Elan13 Models. The seat is from a 75mm Dolls house furniture set, stripped and repainted. Cocker Spaniel is based on my own cocker called Louis. Painting thread Here

Just seen the post - reedoak.

stunning, simply outstanding work. Where did you get the deck crew from and are the tie-down's hand made.

Spent an enjoyable hour or so last night painting Camilla's Mouth, teeth and tongue. Also painted in the rest of the leather head harness; Just a couple of touch ups required, but should be fixed with an ink wash around the leather. Next up will be the ankle jewelry.

Thanks. Her tail broke off, luckily I found it in the box, so I will glue it back on once the whole thing is finished.

What a difference a day makes, twenty-four little hours, my camel gloom has faded away and sunny times are here to stay - Apologies to Dinah Washington. Well I am a lot happier with the camel after last nights painting session, a myriad of sand tones, yellow tones, grey brown tones applied as glazes and i have something i like. I had to try putting some colour on the camels Armour to see how its all going to look, and the word would be impressive. Next up is her knees and hooves, mouth and teeth. About the mouth, I couldn't believe that when you look inside the mouth, RP have even sculpted the rear molars - unbelievable detail in this scale. May your brushes be ever loaded with colour and joy Steve

Chair painted, good test of the 'red paint set' which is very good. just waiting for the plinth so i can put it all together.

Looking a bit like a scene out of the Texas chainsaw massacre; all the main pieces primed and ready for painting;

The 3 piece suite arrived yesterday, garish doesn't come close, so a 20 minute dip in AK's extreme metal cleaner (that stuff should come with a health warning - smell is horrendous and potent) left outside and then a wash in hot soapy water removed all of the decal/print on the chair. A coat of primer revealed that the pattern is actually embossed into the seat so a rub down to get everything level and then a coat of Vallejo putty, smoothed out with a brush was applied. This has since been sanded back, so ready for another coat of primer and then good to paint (red)

I got him from skminiatures , it's a limited edition piece of just 300 world wide. RP models have sold every one to individuals and their dealer network Sk miniatures website

Rp Models 75mm Parthia Catafratari, the design, sculpting and casting is just superb casting. A few photos below, but it has to be seen with the naked eye to appreciate the quality. Its going to be a challenge to bring out the best of the whole piece. I have also already found the adverdsary for this , so will be creating a small vignette once its all completed. Box art All parts come wrapped in zip lock bags Front Legs; Detail on the anklets; Details on rear; Riders Saddle,lots of superb casted rugs and coverings, wood looks good as well; The three main pieces together, i should say they are not glued, tacked just joined together, such is the quality of the fittting; The camels neck and head, again adorned with superb sculpting and casting; Just look at the details in the mouth, teeth and tongue; The rider comes in three main parts, to which his arms and a choice of two heads are fitted; Separate heads; Darth Vader look; Open helmet, going to take a very small file to remove the casting 'lip'; Lots of lovely cast wood and metal detail on the sheild; I cleaned up the camel and rider last night and pinned the pieces to some cork tops, so i can get them primed tonight.

Handy having your own Blue Roan Cocker Spaniel (Louis) for reference; So painted up the 1/24th version; 'Actual size' In between adding the various layers of blacks/greys/whites onto 'Louis' I also got on with the pilots '1939 pattern flying boots'; Where's Your Head At? (Basement Jaxx) Need a coat of matt varnish as does louis, and the boots need some light dirt added to them.
