A 90mm metal "oldie" from Phoenix - a straightforward and fun paintjob, - more here: http://www.p-m-art.com/2014/01/killer-heels/#more-4725 Cheers

I put a small King and Country (pre-painted) set of figures into an appropriate setting using a small block canvas and some Andrea powdered snow - entitled "Gospels and garands at dawn"- more here: http://www.p-m-art.com/2010/08/gospels-and-garands-at-dawn/

.......every Doctor needs one - a Nurse! A slightly Racey combination inspired by a photo taken at the Silverstone Moto GP. Hopefully now that he's back with Yamaha, the Doctor will Nurse himself back to his winning ways! More here:http://www.p-m-art.com/2013/04/the-doctors-secret-weapon/

That's an absolutely wonderful piece of model making - stonking stuff. I'm reading Michael Olivers book on the history of the 49 at the moment and he gives a great account of all the little variances in relation to each of the chassis during the marques development and you've captured R1 beautifully with this build. Congratulations on producing this masterpiece and for sharing it with us here , superb stuff, Cheers, Paul

SNAP! - Just spotted yours now - very topical - superb work - love it, Cheers,

Just a bit of metal foil painted with matt black enamel -I like your idea of the paper - sounds easier - will give it a try next time, Cheers Warren - many thanks,

Yes it looks really very effective - produces a great result., cheers n many thanks,

I enjoyed this “What-if” exercise by applying lots of licence and imagination to Revells Ferrari F10. The 1/24th kit is great value for money at around £25. The decals are stunning, however, as usual with Revell race car kits the tyres are absolutely dreadful. Out of two of these kits I could only salvage one useable set of tyres! I used Hycote auto acrylic matt black straight from the fizz can –it gives a wonderful even finish every time – I can definitely recommend it for great results. More here:Visit My Website

The man with his finger on “Fast Forward”so many times last year but unfortunately Sebastian Vettel just couldn’t “get his finger out” this week-end in Valencia! It’s a converted metal casting from Denizen using some Milliput and metal pins. I tried to capture that familiar winning pose he adopts with the pointed finger. There’s a huge shortage of decent Red Bull decals in this scale so all the logos had to be hand painted – more here: Visit My Website

I really like that figure - it's very well posed and uve done a very good paint job on it - well done and thanks for sharing, Cheers, Paul

I really love these little guys - so colourful, Cheers, Paul

Good on ye "Madmonk" - a man after my own heart - I just love both of those sets - great work - excellently painted & both very iconic pieces, Cheers, Best Regards, Paul

Another metal figure from Denizen in 43rd scale - painted in acrylics with a couple of coats of matt varnish. Cheers, Paul More pictures here

You've done a great job on both of these figures. I really like the finish you've achieved - especially the Officer with those piercing blue eyes and the stiff upper lip - they really convey the athmosphere of the time - "Chocks away - Tally Ho" & all that! I was always a great fan of Sid Hortons Chota Sahib range - each one had so much character it made them all very appealing and the quality of the castings was top notch. In fact, I know I still have some safely packed away in the attic - so I must dig them out and see if I can paint them into life like you have done. I might be wrong, but I seem to remember hearing that another company bought the figure molds and re-released them under a different name? - having said, that I've never seen them, and the originals continue to be sought after - does anyone know if they have been re-released?. Many Thanks for sharing - it's a real joy to see these two fellows enjoying a new lease of life! Cheers, Paul

Love it - Rock-On! Definitely Different, Cheers, Regards, Paul

This is superb build - it's wonderful to see the detail being sourced from references and taking shape on the model - model building as it should be - great stuff altogether, Cheers, Paul

That's an absolutely super paint job - love the work you've done on the camo pattern - overall a really first rate job and a beautifully sculpted figure, Cheers, Regards, Paul.

A 43rd scale Denizen metal figure I modified with some miliput etc, to represent the current supremo at the helm of the F1 empire - painted in Vallejo acrylics and finished with two coats of protective varnish. More here:http://www.p-m-art.com/blog/ Cheers, Paul

Many thanks guys for the kind words - also have taken advice and am checkin out the 1/6 Warrior forum - hair shade noted - he was having a bad hair day! - will sort it many thanks, Cheers, Regards, Paul

I'm painting up a collection of 1/6 scale character heads for a friend of mine and I've just started on this one of Tom Hanks. I've now discovered these heads are intended to fit a "GI Joe" / Dragon type doll and therefore require a hole drilled in the neck in order to attach it. Anyone know what size hole needs to be drilled to fit it to the body? - (my friend is away somewhere in the depths of the Amazonian jungle - don't ask - it's a long story!) Many Thanks in advance, Any help would be greatly appreciated, Regards, Paul http://www.p-m-art.com/blog/

Absolutely love it - she's a real beauty (doh!) - every collection should have one! Cheers, Paul

Absolutely wonderful sculpted detail for 1/72 - truly amazing stuff! Cheers, Paul

Love it - absolutely brilliant - very cool, Cheers, Paul

Absolutely Love it! - Superb finish - very inspiring, Many Thanks for sharing, Cheers, Paul
