Here is my
latest commission work. It is the 1/12th scale Waffen SS Grenadier from the now
defunct PJ Designs. This is the 3rd time I've tackled this figure and he just
never gets old. He's holding a G43 and as far as I'm concerned I think his body
language is the best I've ever seen as far as realism in a sculpt. His
equipment, proportions and facial details are as well first rate. He, as always,
is done in Vallejo Acrylics with citadel paints for the metallics.

Operation Overlord...
This is my
latest commission work which will be called "Operation Overlord" per
the client. He is the Mirage 200MM d-day paratrooper with full kit. This figure
has been around for a while but is now out of production. Another board member
was kind enough to sell it to me a few months back as I was commissioned to
hunt one down and paint it. I had seen this figure a few times at shows and in
pictures but for some reason I never really liked it. Once I got the kit in my
hands though that all changed. He really is a stupendous sculpt and a very well
engineered kit. Great, great, great! He is so nice I'm actually having trouble
parting with him but I know he is going to a good home. Any who, enough of
waxing poetically about this figure as I think you get what I mean. He is as
usual painted in Vallejo Acrylics with Citadel paints for the metallics. There
are 3 massive slabs of resin that come with this kit that make up a base with a
section of a damaged wall which per the client was not used and instead a
wooden farm fence was scratch built with some signage to establish the setting.
Grass was some mossy type of material that I had lying around that scaled out
pretty good to a 1/9th scale figure.

60th Don Cossacks (Crimea)
Here is a
box art I recently did for The Model Cellar. It depicts a 60th Don Cossack from
the Crimean war. A bit different for me but I'm trying to delve into other eras
beside WWII as I try to become a more rounded painter. He is sculpted by Steve
Leadley and is really a top notch sculpt. His face has tons of character for a
120MM bust. As always he is painted in Vallejo acrylics.
