Hi everyone Mark aka gothicgeek here!

[gothicgeek]

Hi all!
Some of you may know me from other forums ( one now defunct one in particular ) I have lurked for a while but recent events with Simon T prompted me to join properly and so here I am.

I've been a model maker since childhood and for the last 12 years or so I focused mainly on figures.
Ill health and failing eyesight have slowed me down somewhat and I've pretty much stopped doing anything smaller than 120mm and 1/16th.
Currently I've become obsessed with 1/16th scale tanks etc with figures on or in ...

so some pictures...

and my current and oh so nearly finished project ... 1/16th panzer Ia with Jeff Shiu crew

Hi Mark and welcome to the forum. Some great work there, looking forward to seeing more of your work.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Outstanding work. I thought the first shot of the para was a re-enactor . The Highland piper is also a stand out for me. Looking forward to more of your work.

Hi Mark
I certainly remember you from the now defunct forum. Wonderful figures. We often see larger scale figures but rarely armour larger than 1/35.
Welcome. This is a very nice place to be. Simon will be sorely missed by many.

Thanks everyone! I'm a slow builder /painter but I have a couple of projects in the pipeline, just waiting for the next set of figures to arrive from Jeff Shiu. A set of 5 1/16 figures
