That is some really fine painting on the face - great job!

Jack

Thanks guys!

That is a great looking face. I also like the wood-grain effect. I'd love to see an SBS on how you do that.

Saw this on another site today. Really a great piece. The face is prefect.

That is amazing work.

It is difficult for an artistically-challenged person such as myself to look at such a thing and have a concept of the vision, skill, and patience it must take to make it happen.

Great work as always. Looking forward to your article. Love your faces, they always give me trouble and the larger ones like this 120mm even more than the smaller ones since you have to add more detail.

Thank you very much. I spoke with Aaron and he thought that it would be a great idea on SBS for painting weapons and the likes of woodgrain.

Captfue,

Thank you very much.

Greg,

Thank you but I'm sure you could do a great job. I try to keep everything very simple and just paint small areas at a time.

Gamera,

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate you seeing the extra stuff that is added. I just approach each face the same but the larger ones are just more like a group of smaller ones, if this makes any sense.

That sounds like a great tip that might just help me.

Thx, Joe!

Hey Greg,

No problem hope it helps you.

Very nice.  I met John at SCAHMS years ago -he's an amazing sculptor and I was looking at this figure last night!  How is the assembly?  Again, well done.

Very nice model of a WW II G I Joe. He looks like he's been in battle and not just on parade.

 

Thank you. I was hoping to have him look weary.

Thank you! It is a great figure and sculpt. The only drawback was and I found this with all Warrior figures was the huge casting blocks. Once these are removed it fit together very nice.

I have know John for many years and he is such a nice guy and great artist.

Next time you watch, "Jurassic Park", too, you'll see John.  He operated, that is, he wore,  the raptor legs in the kitchen scene, particularly the shot in which the raptor runs down the aisle between the work tables.  Yes, he's a really nice guy, down-to-earth.  And an excellent sculptor and painter.

 

He did that as well as many other mov. He's a great guy and super talented.

That is just excellent. I really, really, but I mean really suck at painting figures. You should share some tips.

 

Gerhard,

Thank you. What type of tips? If you receive or read FineScale you can see I do a monthly column for them. Is there other things you may be interested in or think I should share?

Thanks,

Joe
