spruecutter96 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Excellent work and a real "labour of love". Nice to see some different subject matter in a diorama. Thanks for sharing with us. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voozet Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Good work. I'm not sure if he illustrated all the Conans' covers, but I vaguely recall a few volumes where the cover was the most interesting part of the book. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thommo Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 Hmmm, must pencil in a trip to Fremantle in my diary. I've been to Perth. And lots of little places ending in 'up'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gidday Thommo, I lived in one for four years, fifty years ago, a place called 'Munglinup' That's seriously good work. I particularly like the second dio, with the 'angel'. Regards, Jeff.

I particularly like the second dio, with the 'angel'. Regards, Jeff. Yes, my wife was concerned I was getting far to involved with the modeling of the naked space fairy. Mine does not look quite as innocent as the original in Franks painting 🤫 In truth, I was more OCD about getting the assets of the Moon Maiden to line up with Franks pic. Anyway, my next project is also a Sci-Fi for my eldest daughters boyfriend who is a keen gamer and awaiting the release of a game called 'Elden Ring' which has an armoured warrior on a magic jumping horse - said horse complete with antelope-type antlers. I've ordered a 1/35 US Horsemen kit from Minicraft which has 2 horses who will have to be Frankensteined together to get the right pose. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
