WELCOME ABOARD MATE

Thanks for joining and its an HONOUR to have you amongst us!!!

This is a Stefano Borin classic and it withstood the test of time very very well, especially now in your able hands!!!

Ray

Cheers guys.

Closeup of the eyes, have toned that hair down now.

Any superlatives do not suffice mate

Hey what happened to the Spartan Warrior? Is he finished or did I miis him everywhere on the net

Ray

He's finished just need to get the groundwork done. Will post up for you very soon mate. Hardy

Welcome aboard buddy. Great start

Steve

Cheers Steven

Welcome onboard my friend!

Nice face mate ... captivating eyes!

Looks that you went retro lately! True these 'oldies' are little gems, I have this one in my stash, plans for an early crusader or Ifrir! Tis is one of Borin's masterpieces and a pleasure to see this in your capable hands, keep them coming mate and would see what you'll be up with the shield!

I am working on the Romeo 75mm Crusader I think you grabbed one this Euro as well?

PS - Any plans for a visit, maybe Easter

Ivan

Cheers Ivan, the shield will be a dragon design. Have you got the islamic warrior from Borin ? Wondered what the fit of parts/casting is like.
Am looking to come over in easter, need some sun!!

Hardy

Hardy

The Islamic Warrior [I huess the same one M.Blank did] is a beauty, I have one in my to do list, fit is OK, might need some filling I guess but let us face it we get the same needs in todays figures as well!

Ah so yours gonna be a Norman, gonna be aggresive with a dragon ... are you keeping the stairs?

Bring sun tan for Easter mate and prepare to taste some 'figalli'[a Maltese sort of almond cake speciality]and an oportunity to see upclose an personal some British WW2 fighters and a newly refurbished Tiger Moth [I know you love this one].

Steve Walker was also talking over 'a maybe pilgrimage' by the Welling Club chaps, would be nice to have a Brit contingent with us!

Ivan

The stairs are going mate, going to pose him as if he has just stood in a dog crap and title it 'Merde'!Suits the pose eh?

Have ordered the islamic warrior, getting it for about £40 from Sk miniatures, not bad for a 90mmm!

Will look forward to seeing the moth mate, coolest thing ever flying in one. Hardy

Cool idea, I do not like the stairs as well, was thinking of a tight path or an edge of a cliff if I gonna do mine one day. You are getting these 90mm at a good price mate, value for money for such masterpieces.

The moth shall be flying condition as well, very soon hopefully. I guess it is a mythical experience to sit in an open cockpit!

By chance do you have any contact with the pal of Oakwood studios, he forgot to pass me his new e-mail last Euro ...

Ivan

Sorry mate, did'nt get it myself. I get mine made in america by Birchtree enterprises, fantastic quality at a cheap price. hardy

Hardy forget the sun block lotion mate bring in your brolly coz its gonna rain cats n dogs in Easter due to the mix up of the atmospheric gasses

Would be a real pleasure to have you hang about with us!!!

Ray

Always nice to see a SBS develop....

Keep posting and glad to have you with us!

Dottore

Thanks Dottore. Will post as I go along. Hardy

Hardy

Can you send me a link or email for the bases you mentioned please ...

Ivan

Will try and find one for you tonight mate. Hardy

Hi all, still alive and painting. Now finishing this one, just the shield to do before I post the final shots.....





Hardy

Will update the website very soon.

Any superlatives would not suffice AS YOU WELL KNOW mate, but allow me to say just
Awesome and Inspiring painting

Keep gracing our forum please

Ray

Cheers Ray mate, was going to keep him a secret until I had finished but people were starting to think I had retired!! Hardy

Hey Hardy. Inspiring painting my friend.A big well done

Steve

Lovely skin tone Hardy and that hand!

I also love the way you are acheieving that overall drab colour effect on textile and material. What mix did you use for that greyishblue material, is it with prussian blue or payne's grey dilution?

Watching when you shall add the poooh

Ivan

Thanks all. Now starting the shield, just basic painting so far. Will neaten it up when dry and of course begin the weathering. Hardy
