My latest..The Dentist-Past and Present

I was asked to do a scene of my kids dentist as a retirement gift. They wanted the younger man and then having him the way he is today looking over the shoulder of his past self. The boy is kind of a mixture of my kids.

A new American pilot

Here is a new American WWII pilot I have done for Verlinden Productions. he will be paired with another American pilot. Hopefully the box art pictures will be taken soon and I will post them once I get a copy.

Another pilot set completed

Here is the 3rd installment of German Pilots that I have done for Verlinden Productions. I enjoyed doing these and they were both painted using acrylics.

First set of German Pilots completed

I am not sure if some of you know but I have gotten a full time job as a miniature sculptor and painter for Verlinden Productions. I actually bumped into the owner Francois at the hobby shop in Dec while I was there getting some putty for my Darell Scott custom. He was looking for an in house sculptor/painter and me, of course had nothing to do! LOL Anyways, here are four German Pilots I have sculpted and painted for production and I have another 2 that are being photographed now.

Thanks for looking,

Here is a new one painted and a better picture of the last one

I have finished up the Pilot leaving the cockpit and tried to take a better picture of the relaxing one. I just noticed from the pictures that I will need to correct some paint marks on the buckeles on the boots! Wow! Sorry about that!

Two painted German pilots

Here are 2 of the German pilots painted. I really have enjoyed doing them and look forward to showing you the next two.

New pilot..resin casting

Hey guys,

Here is a new one that I finished and now is cast. It is a pilot climbing out of the cockpit saying he has 4 hits. I will prime him later and then start painting him this week or next. Thanks for looking.

New work stuff

Well, I am getting some work done and here are some pictures of what I have been doing. These are the Masters and resin copies of German Pilots. I will post the painted ones at a later time.

Thanks for looking.

Update

Well, the shoulder is just about back to normal and I am ready to get back at it full force! While I was out I ended up meeting a really well known modeler and manufacturer of miniatures. Well to make a long story short he was looking for some help and offered me a job! I was really floored he offered me the job and all I can say is that it is a GREAT opportunity for me. I am now working as a sculptor/painter for Verlinden Productions. I have to say I love it and love that I can sit and learn and actually get to sculpt something everyday! I hope that I can continue to improve. Again, still trying to get back into the mode but hope that you all will see improvements in the months to come.
