The last two images show up various flaws in my painting technique(s) BUT, as he's only 75mm (3") tall & no-one is ever going to see him that close-up, I don't care!

Mate it could be perfect and you'll find a problem with it 😆
We are all the same there ...least we ain't JMNs bud 
I still reckon it's epic 😎

That is a most impressive piece of work............and I can't see the flaws you say are there!

You could almost be right, Phill.

I like to strive for perfection, I don't expect to ever get there* but it's the striving that counts.

And thanks, again!

Thank you, Mi'lud Rheged!

I refer you to the above comment to Phill (& the note below).




[*: I'm too much of a bower bird for that (Ooh! Shiny!)]

I've just had the incredible experience of having my wife walk in & ask "Why is there a knight on the bookcase?"

To which I replied, "It's Christmas, that's Santa!"

I then received a confused look & she walked away.


Man, I LOVE being weird!

Dude we love being weird..some more than others 😆 🤣
Weird is great ...we are the wiffers of weird ...our weirdness is what makes our version of this hobby brilliant 👏 😀 😄

That's the best Santa I've seen in a long time! 
A diorama of Santa laying a smack down on that old devil Krampus. And rescuing a bunch of children while at it.

Great work on a figure that scale, really like the beard and face work, which sets the subject along with the colour choices.

Love it

Quote from: zenrat on November 19, 2024, 02:55:44 AMWhen you said "large figure" I was thinking around 1/6 scale.  This is what, about 1/25?

Fred, 75mm = 1/24, apparently.

No, I don't think so.

Just make the Yule Cat a panther and paint it black. Easy peasy.

And much more fun!!!

That's come out really well mate. White is a very difficult "colour" to use.     

He looks great. Ready to take on top level naughty listers.
