Meet "TOM"





Any crytics.....just shoot at it, but I feel that I'm on top of the world with these results......

This contest already made me a winner....... Even if I finish on the last place in this contest, it doesn't matter to me..... I already had tons of fun creating this little jewel, and I really found my future.......small dio's and figures !!

Don't know who's idea this contest was, but I'm very grateful to him !! He made me come "HOME" in the modeling world again !

Whoever it was THANKS !

Well Eagle I can say only one thing..........................
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

Have you got pictures of the inside??
And what happened to the barrel on the left?? It looks very very good

And your figure is good also you surely won`t say that it`s your second serious figure attempt. but he will get feet right?? :-) :-)

or else you`ve got a little strange title

Any way looks good dude keep us updated
By the way what will be the weather forecast for the next couple of days?? #:-) #:-)

I like the figure.. is it Coree? One of the coldest figures I've seen.. One thing though; he looks like he is sweating.. I mean his face is perhaps a bit too glossy for a winter scene. Did you thought of easing down the flesh sheen with a bit of flat cote?

Maki,

I'll use the flat coat for sure, but only after the paint has dried..... I finished it this evening so......lets wait for just some days...

btw, it's coree indeed :

In the true spirit of things.... I dont think it could be said better.
So I dont think anything, any one of us says about your dio matters.
But I will say this this much......... Excellent dio and figure.
All thats left is the interior! Hows that coming along?
Good luck in the comp!

Ho-ho-ho !!! (:-) (:-) (:-)
Excellent figure. What a pity his feet were blown off when you made that cottage explode !
Looks really good, Danny. Be careful with that snow. I advise you to test it on something else, first. It would be too sad to ruin this little dio.

Come on, we have a snow expert here on Armorama... Toni's snow is the best I've seen in a long time; I'm sure he could give you some pointers. Perhaps he could even advise you to give a poor soldier a bottle of.. schnaps? Just to warm up a bit, I mean.. :-)

Ho Ho Ho - Santa is coming late for you - VERY NICE.
It's been great to see your progression too. Tom came out well.
I too share your sentiment about the insipiration and fun that this campaign has brought. You can definitely stand proud of your work it is very well done.

Looks great, Eagle. I have also had a ball with this campaign. I won't call it a contest, because I believe we all won just by joining the fun. I especially like the firewood by the shed. GREAT idea!
