It's a beautiful thing seeing figures come to life.

Maurice

The Electric Coach

great stuff, really like the Steelers 75th aniverasry uniform

Here's a little more...

The late Dwight White.

This fig is all paint except for the Steeler logo and the facemask...I just thought I would give painting the numbers and name a try.

Thank goodness for decals...

A little something...

I am working on...waiting for my "Apoxie Sculpt" (thanks 5-13 Studios!!) to take this guy to a new level!!!

I think someone might be able to guess who this will be...

He will be a Steeler...
He will NOT be a ball carrier...

I'll end all of the suspense...:rtfl:

I took some liberties with the right arm and brought it out away from his body...

great stuff! as far as your hand painted name and numbers go, i think that they are great! i love the hand painted look. you're really close to being spot-on with the font spacing and thickness, a couple of more figures and i think that you would have it.thmbsp$

ol' joe is looking pretty mean, pun intended.mgngcrz

I have found that one of the most difficult parts of painting the small details (like those names and numbers) is keeping the paint at the correct amount and consistency. I try to keep just the right amount on the brush, but it seems to dry very quickly.

The two other things I need to do are get a magnifier/viewer and improve my lighting situation. I paint in my office, usually later at night...and sometimes it's like I am in a cave! The desk lamp I use is not bad but with my current set-up, I have too many shadows.

Where Is #63(Arrow Head) Ernie Holmes??

Don't worry...I didn't forget "Fats"! :)

Dwight is pictured with LC and Joe Greene (Miggle/Tudor figs) as part of a 12 man set I am selling.

That "new" Joe, along with Ernie, Dwight and LC will all be part of my 75th Anniversary throwback uniform team that I am working on now.

any updates to the projects in the first pics??
