This was a Christmas present from the OB bought at the Nationals 2010. It's a Grey Matter Figures bust called "Master of Alchemy" and I rather fell for him on their stand. Thankfully Terry managed to get the last one they had without me knowing (or that's what he thinks!). A couple of months ago I started to paint him, and then do bits and pieces when I felt I needed to. He is about 8 inches tall. Painted entirely with acrylics (Vallejo and a couple of Citadel) with both airbrush and paint brush. The start: ![]() ![]() The finish? ![]() ![]() ![]() The nice thing is that I can touch up the painting, if I decide something needs changing. |

Well, to tell you the truth I just have a go, and keep going until I like it or the OB says it's OK. You ought to try it - just once! I guess it's not like the definite schemes of the aircraft or armour which is why I like it, no-one can really say I've got it wrong Come on Mike -you might enjoy it! But thank you! |

Harriet I have to say that your model (with new name "Drunken Haze" (Alchemist)) is even better that the photos first suggested. Your choice of new wooden base today will further enhance it and add extra stability. The lengths that Terry went to get this for you is quite amazing and the likeness to him is quite remarkable I can see this getting a very prominent position in your display cabinet Congratulations again Rgds AndyT

The pics on the base are up in RFI - and I have to admit I did demand a rethink of the model cabinet today because of it ... And yes, I agree with you in regards to Terry's perseverance too. But I always say "you can't do enough for a good so did you expect anything less from him?

Whilst it was all in jest, I clearly touched a soft spot so I decided to press the delete key Please accept in good faith Best wishes AndyT |

Now, now Boys - there's only one person who it COULD be modelled on, and I'm not saying ... Well, not now it's finished anyway! So, stop your squabbling, or I'll have to seperate you. |
