Again, this will be a stretch to my norm, but it wouldn't be any fun if we just dribbled in the half court, HA! We'll see how this goes. I've already got a line on some great YT vids for pony painting, and a decent brush or two, so a thread will commence soon.Will be watching closely, the last horse I painted was under a Napoleonic Hussar, I think, and I was a teenager. About the same epoch
I have a Moroccan mule, and a French colonial Goumier horse in the stash.
Oh, you lil devil, temptith me not, HA!
Ya know, I do have quite a few bird kits on my shelf with loads of AM PE and resin, and the learning curve wasn't so bad, so I will probably throw one in the mix between figure work. My forte' is figure painting and I'm not quite to the level I would like to be. But it never hurts to do some switch hitting every now and again, ya?
... just remember to ignore all the 'neighsayers'!
Oh ya. Like my daddy always used to say, "It ain't none of your business what you think of me anyway!" The neigh sayers are usually the button and rivet counters, know it alls, and who listens to them anyway? No, we Ruck Over and have fun, cause "sniffin paint and gluin them fingers together" is way more fun than a rocking chair any day!... just remember to ignore all the 'neighsayers'!
Hahaha, Steve, that was a failed attempt at some horsey humour! 'Neigh' sayers...
Yep, and I know several former co-workers who went back to work because they got bored,...........VATT???? That's just plain nuts!
... my Dad kept busy, doing things he loved. It seemed like many of his colleagues hadn't learned that lesson: for about ten years after he retired, all too many of them just stopped living, literally.
Is it similar to miliput? Obviously is is epoxy, I mean is it of similar consistency and sculptability?
Believe it or not, I've never used Milliput. Aves makes a variety of materials, of which Apoxy-Sculpt is only one. From what Jakko says, it may be superior. Use their Safety Solvent for cleaning and keeping it from sticking to tools. Aves.
How long you will live is something you will hopefully never know until you die. Worrying about when you are going to die is a great way to make it happen sooner. As a very good doctor once said to me: "You can die any time." That scares some people, but to them I say: "You can choose to live in fear. Or you can choose to live. Living in fear is not living."
Not worried about dying, just unable to determine if I can retire today or not.
Well, I was involuntarily retired at 55. "You can get retired any time." So planning for a long retirement is a good idea. And if you die before the money runs out, your heirs will thank you.Not worried about dying, just unable to determine if I can retire today or not.
Apologies, I meant Steve Ski, it looks like a personal/private photo. So if the source wishes to remain anonymous, I get it.
Milliput is one of those things that a great number of British modellers swear by, and I (and probably a lot of non-Brits) mostly swear at. I used it for quite a long time mainly for want of anything else, and my chief complaint about it is that it's so hard — before mixing, I mean. It's very difficult to knead the two parts together for all but the superfine varieties, and back when I did use it, the only superfine available was white. Yes, that meant you had to knead a white part and an off-white part together and hope you got it mixed well enough.
) someone brought a packet of Sylmasta A+B from the UK for me, and that was just so much better — kneading it together is not too much work, and once mixed it feels (and looks) like soft caramel.
