I agree mate all I did was buy 1/16 figures to practice on you can get them from £7 and upwards on ebay I've completed about 18 of them now and they are lined up on a shelf earliest to latest and I can physically see the signs of improvement from 1st to last and although some are better than others I enjoyed doing all of them. I did contemplate going back to the earlier ones to make them look better but I decided I liked them just as they are and they are a point of reference from were I started. anyways keep them coming mate as I love looking at a nice figure cheers John

This is what I do , I also like to look at the previous one to see where I went wrong or to see how I can improve it


I've always wanted to build large scale figure but been put off due to the faces, I find doing is better than reading or watching
