You don't do things by half Mr T. Well third time lucky my friend
She stood six two with eyes of blue and could snatch her own weight while laffen.
The fair Julie brings her image to mind all golden. PaulE

Indeed. You wouldn't forget her either if you'd seen her. Did in fact resemble the fair Julie with about 20lbs added mostly to legs, arms & shoulders. Was one of my wife's best friends. Last word was in 68 when she took off to clown school so she could join the circus or terrify children, I forget which. It was the 60s. PaulE
She probably has a nice Gig working for the Shrine Circus and married to some AWB and they have to kids (Grown up) and two grand kids all getting on very well.......now take your meds before Matron shows up and has you try on the one way sports coat

Or, she got bored, joined a kibbutz in Israel and retired a colonel in the IDF. She had a warrior's heart. PaulE
You're all mad, in a nice way of course
Well, Steves third time lucky prophecy didn't come to pass
The new MIG paints that I mixed the base pink from dried shiny - not usually a problem but this time I found that when I tried to paint Wabbit the paint wouldn't stick properly
Very patchy and rather a mess so I have given them both a coat of AK ultra matt to seal them - back to the start anyway for Mr Wabbit so there will be a bit of a delay again
Thinking about it as I write this I am wondering if I hadn't got the brush clean enough from using the weathering enamels
Might be an idea to invest in more brushes so I can keep a set for acrylic and a set for enamel/oils......

Natural bristle for natural base & man made for acrylic has worked well for me. PaulE
Don’t have that issue with sables I’m afraid, I find they last better than they used to in enamels. On the other hand, nylon brushes hook in no time No matter what paint I use. Masters brush soap is the charm. Brushes last ages If this is used after rinsing the worst of the paint off, no matter what paint they are used in.
Excuse me Simon.
Rick are we talking about that French lady who took some great photos, didn't she work for some model company as well ?
She was very talented & had an excellent avatar. I didn't realize Simon named his model so. PaulE
I didn’t name it someone else did and it seems to have stuck Paul
John, yes Model Miniatures. I think it is her company. I bought an overpriced conversion kit from them and it was pants. Could have done better myself. Never again

I'd have to read back but I might have been the culprit...Yes JR, I was speaking of Julie who used to post updates on MM, the new product releases for the German company she worked for. As Simon said, Model Miniatures or Military Miniatures...something like that. I clicked on some of her url's a few times....she was quite the photographer. Attending a lot of military parades and functions etc. Rick H.
Allow me to correct my previous post. After re-reading this thread it appears that I am the culprit that hung the "Julie" moniker round her neck. Reinforced by JR of course. Yes, she worked for Model Miniatures, a French Co. Apparently... And was endowed, as previously posted by Mr. Jones in certain areas of anatomy and let it go at that. Cheers Rick H.
Not a problem Rick - she will be forever known now as Julie
looks like I wobbled again as I took the snap!
At least the blurring effect hides some of the poor paintwork
Blocked in his T-shirt with black panzer uniform, which is really a very dark grey, the backpack with canvas and the rockets with German uniform green
I am definitely better at the random throwing of mud at tanks than this precision figure painting lark
Mr Wabbit needs a lot more work, preferably by someone that knows what they are doing

Hey chaps. Reading through this and I managed to find a picture of Julie Ludmann of French company, Model Miniatures:
I think she worked as PR for the company and was a fine photographer. A few straps and guns (and a cwazy wabbit) and she'd be a dead ringer.
Edit - My very bad - looks like she owned and founded the company. Model Miniatures made a 1/72 figure of her, as supplied with one of their kits:
