Had a nice little mail surprise the other day

I went to the mail box this past Friday and saw that I had received an issue of Fine Scale Modeler. I do not have a subscription so I was wondering why I had received it then I remembered I had submitted a few articles a while back. Well, it turned out it was the one I did on ground work.Thanks to my wife for all the help! It ended up being a 4 page article,I thought it looked pretty cool. I am going to buy another copy and then send it to my collector friend Jack, who purchased the figure in the article, so he can have it to go along with the figure. Here is what it looks like. Thanks for looking and if anyone wishes to get one it is in the March 2010 issue.

Here is the finished figure

I was able to wrap up Maximus. I hope that I can get it to Joe soon and I hope that he will like/enjoy it. Thanks for looking and following. Now, it is time to move on to the next project!!

Update 3

Here are a few new pictures of the Maximus. I should have it wrapped up either tomorrow or Sunday. Thanks for looking.

A little more work

I have gotten a lot more finished but here is a newer picture. My goal is to have this bad boy done by Christmas and then be able to have Joe receive it after the first of the year.

A little more work on the metals

Here is a little more work done on the metals. Still have a few things to do but getting there.

Update on the Maimus figure.

I have not been able to get as much done as I would have liked. My son has been sick and a few other things put me in a slow mode. I have more done on the figure but just have not taken any pictures. Here are some until the newer ones.

A little sketch

My wife gave me a an early Christmas gift,an Itouch. I have been playing and found this app for drawing. Here is a little sketch I did. It started off with just some lines and then I thought it looked a little human.

My new figure, Maximus

Here is the start of a new figure. It is Maximus from the movie Gladiator. I am doing this one as a gift for Joe Klopfenstein. He has been really good to my sons and I wanted to just show him how much I appreciated it. He really has impressed them both and they really look up to him,thanks Joe!

I will post more as I go.
