They think they're placating the public and sadly there are a lot of ignorant and stupid people out there who run for cover whenever they see the word gun or knife, sadly I know some of them...bloody irritating argument with someone I've known for 30 years about it on FB today, bloody depressing how even a friend can't be reasoned with because they've been brainwashed by the tabloid newspapers Crying or Very sad Rolling Eyes

Anyway..screw all that... second body done mostly, given this one slightly narrower and lower shoulders. I'd like to say I'm getting the hang of it now but I'll be dealing with different parts for the next ones! That's what happens when you scratch build from stuff lying around Wink I'm saving lots of money though so I can stock up on swords and knives I've always wanted this month before the ban can be implemented Smile They don't seem to have taken into account all the sword, knife, hunting and fishing shops that used to be brick and mortar in town shut down years ago due to online sales! So there's nowhere to go to buy them anyway even if I wasn't agoraphobic... I actually bought my huge fan shaped sword display stand (holds 20) from what used to be our local sword and knife shop when he had to close down.

Thanks Roger! Forum's very quiet today, did I miss something?

Anyway don't really care if I did, been busy enjoying season 1 and 2 of 'Colony' excellent post invasion sci-fi series. Finished off the second body and have started Dwalin's, he's the big one! And my favourite looks wise. He has bare muscled forearms but luckily I have the perfect parts for that, arms that came off a 'Prince Of Narnia' armoured Cyclops, I used his decorative breastplate on one of my Wraith builds. Anyway Dwalin is taller and broader than the other dwarves so needs those mods incorporated into his body along with the forearms.

Cool. Dwalin was my favorite look of the Dwarves, as well. Looking forward to seeing how you pull this off.

It's been pretty quiet for the last few days actually. Must be Summer vacations, or folks are just sick of us already. Sad

Not that there was any doubt, but it is always impressive how much thought you put into each and every piece, making it just right for what it is supposed to portray, rather than being generic. And all the foresight keeping bits and pieces from other figures and items around for use in your builds. Also, I crack up every time I see these patriotic British knickers. Smile

Cheers GF! Well that's what my bags and draws and tubs of parts, clothing and materials are for! Lucky I have a large storage room!

Talking of which...just went through all my 1/6 clothing bags and selected this stuff for different reasons like the pattern of the material, the size, the colour, the style of clothing and general usability for these guys. Better to know I have it and not use it than get stuck needing something I have but not knowing I have it! Laughing Wink

To be honest though I think I'll have to trawl the web for pics of Dwarven angular Celtic patterns and print them off on printer friendly cotton A4 sheets, haven't done that in years! LOL.

Wow, fascinating watching these come together. the way you're widening the bodies is just something I'd never think to do. Damn, doing this right after the ring wraiths, you're going to have one hell of a huge cast of characters. Impressive as always, and enjoying watching this come together.

Thank you RS! I think I'll end up with a ring of Dwarves around my ring of Wraiths! Laughing

Talking of widening bodies, that torso piece was a bit too wide!! Embarassed

So had to rethink his build and used another piece dremelled down and secured the figure parts with wood screws after hand drilling holes for them. Cut his forearms off but haven't attached the new ones yet (been busy working on that rifle) and now he seems more proportional to his character width and height wise. It's funny because I have his sculpt staring at me while I'm also watching 'Colony' season 3 where Graham McTavish who plays Dwalin the Dwarf I'm working on also has a major role in 'Colony' bald headed and bearded too! Very Happy

Funny how they look like a bunch of disparate parts almost randomly put together, yet at the end they will look just like the real thing.

These look great. How do you get started? I buy a ton of loose parts, and for some reason, I don't know how to start?

I just think of the builds like puzzles and have a vague overall picture in my head but mostly just tackle one bit at a time like problem solving. If you try and think about everything required at once it will just get confusing and drive you mad! Wink I hope that helps! Also as you can see I sort out any possibly useful parts in the beginning so I know what I have to work with but it doesn't mean I have to use all of it.

peter the painter


Alex the Dwarfs are coming along very nicely indeed, your problem solving skills are admirable.



Cheers,

Peter.
