Yeah I'm 18 but I guess I'm an old soul. I've got albums that are a lot older than me haha. I can live with it though, my friends are contemporary so I can stay up to date with everything.

By the way, what do you use for primer?

There you go,you can draw things from both worlds.
I use Tamiya primer. I just recently started using primer and I really like it as it shows up flaws that otherwise may be missed. It also fills in small dings and dents,etc. It comes in fine and course.

Ah, I've got the coarse primer. First time I used it I brushed it on too heavy and lost all the detail on a torso Probably best to use my airbrush for priming before I try that again...

Hi Jerry,

I think your figure is looking fantastic & am enjoying seeing how people who know what they are doing do things. As for people looking & not always commenting maybe their not sure how to show a whole lott'a love lol.
I ran into the same issue trying to finish my 1st model & dio in over 20yrs, which makes it hard when your trying to learn again like me. But at least people are looking at what your doing that is how I look at it!!

Cheers Mike

Thanks Gerry,
It is getting better but it isn't always good. It seems to be OK for a few days and then right back again. I do notice even when it is bothering me that it is not as bad as it used to be though. So thatis progress!! Thanks for the kindness,

Aha! Another Zep fan? How can you not love the Zep,if you are a rocker is what I wanna know!
As far as comments go,now that the mods have informed me that the paucity of comments on this site is normal,it doesn't bother me as much. I was just worried that I had commited some offense or something. I have seen people frozen off of other sites and did not want that to happen to me!

Jerry I continue the hope that your vision problem sorts itself out soon as I am always in awe of your figures and how you always seem to get them "just right" in relation to posture, paint and position in your vignettes... absolutely looking forward to seeing more of this build.

What happened to this figure? I know you've got the 1/16th tanker & that town dio going on too, but I was just wondering if anything happened to this guy?

Good times, bad times, you know I had my share....wooooow!

Conor and Paolo,
Wellll,he is stuck in the limbo of eternal youth at the moment. I promised my mold maker that I would do this 1/16 scale dude so I am concentrating on him at the moment. Lately if I get side tracked even a little I never get back to what I need to finish so I am only working on the big dude and have not even touched the buildings or anything else. PLUS,my eyes are still not ship shape. The good news is the 1/16 thing is down to finishing the details and the hands and then it's finished. Then back to 1/35 for a bit. Thanks for looking in on the "Nevermore" figure though.
