WW2 Personalities 4

I had made this piece several years back. I decided that the legs were not sufficiently well-done and the figure had to be heightened.

Louis XIV 17

This is the start of the base for the figure. The pillar is from some 1/35 resin kit, and needed to be built up at the base to fit 1/32 scale. Bricks were glued to form the foundation for the Historex fence.

Samurai 9

I added some twigs and bushes to balance the composition, and glued maple leaves here and there.
This piece is completed. A vast improvement on the original piece, I think.

Samurai 7, 8

8/31/14
I painted the shaved pate of his head with a translucent purple, and gave the scabbard some flower designs.


The rough finish was smoothed out and the figure was allowed to dry out.



I have finished this piece. The painted mon is the Hollyhock of the Tokugawa shogun. As the figure still appeared static, I came up with the idea of having some Ukiyo-e prints blowing in the wind, to create some movement to an otherwise static figure. I may add some autumn leaves at a later stage.

I cleaned up the figures and started to paint the faces.

Verlinden French Officer

How many of you remember this resin figure from about the 70s? I think it is out of production now. The figure is not unattractive but seems to be in a state of permanent puberty. The boots look good.

 I dug it out of my stash and am thinking of ways to recraft it into something else.

I've completed the major sculpts on the deGaulle and Dowding figure. Some undercoat painting to highlight defects and has been done.
