Young, who comes from Korea, used to do many works for Verlinden and lots of his stuff appeared in the Verlinden magazines and military diorama volumes. I always found his stuff the most inspirational, and looking at his blog I think that his figures are actually some of the best around. One thing I love about his work is his ability to turn less than perfect stock figures into a masterpiece, just check out his painting of these Verlinden figures:

Just shows you the results that can be achieved on basic stock figures with a good paint job.
