As well as collecting, enjoying cigars, i thought it would be fun to see what other hobbies we Botl have.
Over the years ive had a few, i used to collect comics (still have about 20,000 in storage) ive been an avid collector/fan of star wars since i was able to walk (i have a pretty decent collection of about 2000 pieces including lightsabers, helmets etc scaling it down at the moment) but for about 10 years ive been building and painting 1/6 scale models. Everything from fantasy to sci fi . I have a hell of a lot of pieces in my collection, mostly non finished .
Im a member of a forum for collectors and builders. We have many many special effects artists as members ( including Rick Baker who did the effects on American werewolf in london) Some of these guys sculpt these in there spare time, cast them in resin, usually in very low numbers, and sell them to us.
I have put a couple of crappy photos up to show you what i do, unfortunately they wash out most of the colours and details
They basically come in between 8 and 50 pieces of tan coloured resin. I then use various techniques including airbrush, pigment shading etc etc to paint them. Each takes me about 20 hours plus of building, about 40 hours of painting, usually more on skin tones as they require upwards of 14 thin layers of colour.
Anyway thanks for looking, lets see what you guys do
