That’s almost certainly me, there’s nothing rancid about my family. A touch pickled at times, but what do you expect!

Did a good bit of research, and it’s satisfying when all the colours and beadwork are actual real world!
Thanks so much.

Thanks! I tried to keep it simple, but I always enjoy groundwork.
What I was really proud of, that’s not visible in these photos, is the base itself.
If stalled on the project until I found this base!

I have the 2 British head sets.
Without a doubt the best out there, as good as the early Hornet sets.
The helmeted heads are excellent and features the helmet liners on the head and the helmets are separate.
Lots of character on all the heads.

They are remarkable creatures and that is such a beautiful photo!
From my experience they have a ludicrously high pain threshold.
So pleased she’s thriving

Been away from BkueSky for a bit and just seen this!! Poor thing…and poor you!!!
Nothing as extreme here but my Jem at 11 months broke out of the house in her first season and double fractured her leg. She’s had metal plates for 11 years now!
Tough one! Hope all is going well

All opinions welcome here! Thank you.
I’ve used Magic Sculpt and GS mixes before. Just trying to find out the AS properties here.

Yes, sadly they’re not. A one man operation who said a few years ago his eyesight wasn’t up to it anymore. It was an eclectic range! Things still pop up on eBay, though.

Thank you for this Amy!
It’s fun painting those little details (I make a list at the end to make sure I miss nothing…)
And it’s great when people see them and appreciate them!

I’d say a good sculpt paints itself but obviously it doesn’t. But it helps enormously!
I see so many struggling with figures by trying to paint a turd! 🤪

Ahhh just heard it! Kind of weird hearing your work described like that!
Also, given I posted it as they were recording, TJ commented on it and I got a friend request from him literally within minutes so I guess they were all setting up at that moment! Explains a lot!

Well, in some ways it is appropriate, as not a single Sherman was made after hostilities ended, but they had enough in field that this variant wasn’t required.
And the US adopted the M4A3 76 for Korea and didn’t use any other variants.
