Hawk Miniatures 75mm Swiss Mercenary 14th Century Soldat De Plom 2019 Alan Ball

As promised here is another of my figures that I entered into Soldat De Plom 2019 in Girona.

Its of a 14th Cent. Swiss Mercenary with his dog sculpted by Alan Ball in 75mm.

The breed of dog that I portrayed is a Sennenhund which was completely unknown to me until I looked for a suitable one to paint.

The sculpt is in resin and required not very much tidying up. Again photos by Paco.

Thanks again for looking and any comments or questions are welcome.  Michael

Creepytables Cursed 1:9 Bust Painted for Soldat De Plom 2019

Here we have the first of several models I will be posting that I took to Soldat De Plom 2019 in Girona Spain.

I did win a Bronze and a Silver for a couple of the models but I still do not know which ones, as my son and myself went to a Girona football game at the same time as prize giving { nil nil draw and Girona missed a penalty in 93rd minute}.

Anyhow, this is a 3D printed sculpt from Creepytables in 1:9 scale and a very fine piece. Again the photos are taken from official show photos taken by Paco.

Any comments questions etc are more than welcome.
Thanks for looking,  Michael.

Eli Wallach as Calvera from The Magnificent Seven Film Bust sculpted by Offo. Moson Show 2019

Again its been a long time since I have posted, but here we go again.  This is a bust sculpted by Offo of Eli Wallach as Calvera from the film  The Magnificent Seven.
Its an absolute fantastic likeness which made the painting of it very easy,
I took this and a couple other of my painted models to The Moson Show in Hungary to enter into the competition and I managed to get a Bronze and a Silver, not too bad I suppose.

There were hundreds of entries and modelers entered from around the World.
While at the Show I managed to meet and speak to several fellow modelers who I had only seen through Youtube,  Blogs etc. 

I have the Magnificent 7 themselves to paint next, again all excellently sculpted by Offo, whom I managed to meet at the Show.

I never actually took any photos of my models, I was too busy talking etc, so I have borrowed these images of the Bust from other peoples report of the Show.

Thanks for looking and any comments or questions are most welcome.
