nigel, yes most of them are women, but that model is by Vintra or whatever his name is, hes won Euromilitaire several times. These photos really dont do them justice as they are only a couple of inches tall! I think you should give one a go nigel, if it comes out half as good as the tank it will be great!

What im trying to work out is how they get the intricate floral patterns with the highlights, i realise its a silly small brush but i its the blending at that scale i find near impossible. 120mm fine, but 54mm is just so small!

John, its basically personal preference, each scale takes its own techniques. You should be able to get some nice detail in at that size!

John,

The three examples above are my first attempt and they are 1/32nd scale. I think this is a reasonable size to have a practise on.

nothing much, thats just a random figure! I cant say im overly happy with him, but ive used him to "trial" various methods, that hopefully later down the line will pull off. Really i want to move away from 54mm as its too small but its good for technique pratice!
