Great pics, Scott. What was the occasion ...or was it just another pirate raid? {eek3}

Great dio! Lots of thought and effort went into this presentation. It shows!

Very nice figure. Excellent face! You're a lucky man!

C'mon guys! It's not all THAT hard to match a color for a touch-up. Most of the time, if you're anywhere close to the color, it will look great. I don't think that manufacturers spend a lot of time mixing paint simply because it takes time and it's probably not easily reproduceable. So my...

E-bay is a great place to pick up old, broken and bargain figures. For years, I've been restoring and converting stuff I find on e-bay to make my collection unique or to fill in with figures no one makes. Commercial kits are running roughly a dollar a milimeter - so $50 for a 54mm kit. WAY too...

Bravo!! Nicely done.

Seems there's confusion about whether the question is about printer's inks for metalics or acrylic inks for non-metalics. Which do you mean? Non-metalic Inks are basically pre-mixed washes that can be used to shade or to fill in low areas - just as you'd use a wash. Some may leave a gloss...

At the risk of be-laboring a point, we have beaten the h*ll out of this subject many other times on this forum. For example, here: http://www.treefrogtreasures.com/forum/showthread.php?12831-Casting-copies-of-other-soldiers/page4 While I generally concede that each of us is entitled to his/her...

Breathtaking display of Napoleon in Egypt! Well done.

A belated happy birthday to you, Brad. Hope the trip was great.

Very nice display. I've always liked this subject, and you have done it very well.

Great little dio! I got mine a bit ago and have him in the stockade for protection. I'd love to see more figures like this from JJ. In fact, a little blacksmith shop mini dio would be just the thing to add some interest to my "Raid" display. I love these little "slice of period life"...

It would help to see the figure, but some time-tested ways are: 1. Paint the lenses black or a darker version of the helmut color (if on a helmut), then use a gloss coat to give some shine - not too much though. 2. Drop a little super glue or epoxy into the lense area if you need to fill in...

Nice group of figures. They should paint up very well!

Love your work, Dave! You are offering something not available anywhere else. Hope your sales are successful.

Best of luck to you and all the other staffers at MTS. Good dealers are hard to find, and we look forward to your renewed success!

Hey Brad, This is a great thread! Here's a link to photos of all the flats at the show. The file names tell who the painter is - just arrow over the photo and read the file name at the bottom of your screen. Enjoy. http://s1007.photobucket.com/albums/af192/PJDeluhery/MFCA%202011%20Flats/

Good stuff, Dave! I too have subscribed to the MTS channel. Glad to see an innovative use of technology to help us learn.

I'm pretty sure that Andrea makes a series of decals for 54mm. There are several other manufactureres as well, possibly Pegasso and Nemrod. If you check your local miniature figure (not toy soldiers but painted kits!) dealer, I;m sure you can find all you want. If you need more on this, let...

Since we're having so much fun....... I was talking to Mike (? I think that's his name) the owner of Collectors Showcase at the last Chicago show. He told me an interesting story. Sometime ago, he had a lot of trouble with the flesh colors on his figures - they just didn't look right. I know...
