I’ve just finished up converting / modifying some old 1/18 scale Minichamps figures with new paint scheme and new decals – just the helmets to tuch up and fix in place – nearly there! I still have quite a number of Denizen figures well underway and I’m looking at adding them into some small dioramas with the driver-less 1/43rd scale Diecasts in the background. Also there are a pair of 1/20 scale resin figures of Schumacher and Hamilton which have yet to be undercoated – I’m also casting new arms for them in order to improve posture etc – So a busy Easter week-end ahead – and hopefully lots of Chocolate Easter Eggs!! I also have a 1/18 Figure of Keke which needs some refurbishing an a new helmet!
A busy week-end ahead

WIP
I came across a wonderful undertaking by three young enterprising guys called www.buyacredit.com – I’ve added my little bit of support to this marvellous project and in return, the’ve given me a spot on their Pixel-Ad Patchwork – a definite “Win Win” situation. Click “DARDENTOR THE MOVIE” Link for more information on what I think is wonderfully creative thinking in this current climate of “doom and gloom”!
So armed with new found enthusiasim and “big-time” exposure, I hope to channel my efforts in a more focussed way into being more active on the web by using my site to publicise my art. Sounds so easy now – but time will tell!! On the painting front, I’ve recently started painting Cars and things “Auto” related. Cars and motorsport have always been a passion of mine, and in addition to making and painting miniature figurines I also make and paint miniature cars – both roadgoing and racing. Now I’m painting them on canvas, partly to give myself a break from the subject matter of landscapes and figurative studies and also to explore the artistic rule of “paint what you have a passion for”! So far, it’s working very well on all fronts – both “sale wise” and most importantly I’m really enjoying it! So that’s it for today – I promised myself a posting (after nearly a year since I last used the site) so I’ll take it a day at a time and see how things unfold. Finally, many people have asked me to post photos of both my art and miniatures (a pretty reasonable request given it’s an art site!) and I’m happy to report I’ve made great strides on that front with an on-line album – so I’m hoping to have that running via a link in the next week – Cheers and Many Thanks.
