Craig hope this link works Greenwell Studios - Dragon Queen - sexy resin model kit - sculpted by Sam Greenwell - twelve inches tall - kit comes in 6 resin parts - $50.00 On Mar 13, 3:19 pm, "cr...@earthlink.net" <cr...@earthlink.net> wrote: > Pretty sure that my old standard Testors brown will not work. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Sam Greenwell - twelve inches tall - kit comes in 6 resin parts - > $50.00 well crap it did not work here is the link to the site. click on the "babes" section and go down to the Greenwell Studios section. She is the last on the list of figures. A nice place to visit, and no rivets or seams too! Craig http://www.xofacto.com/babe.htm I'm just getting into figures myself, but if I were doing that piece I'd go with raw and burnt umbers and siennas. Basic brown is too blah and I've never really seen skin that's "brown". The umbers have a slight gray component to them that real skin has, and the siennas have the somewhat orange hue that gives skin (particularly non-caucasian) a bit of glow. If I were you, I'd ask on the XOFacto site, or at the Amazing Figure Modeler site, which is www.amazingmodeler.com. It's what they do, and they do it incredibly well. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutcrafting.com/group/rec.models.scale/ More information at http://www.talkaboutcrafting.com/faq.html > I'm just getting into figures myself, but if I were doing that piece I'd go > with raw and burnt umbers and siennas.

I've found a basic light skin color with multiple thin washes of a darker skin color to work well, to bring out the depth of the face in particular. Most skin colors out of the bottle look as pink as a newborn babe, with Testors' old "Wood" being closer to a actual Caucasian skin tone. African American, native American, Asian, and Hispanic skin shades are far more challenging and interesting to replicate, and are really vastly under-represented in most modern era dioramas, given the very racially diverse composition of our modern military. Someone should write a book on how to do those realistically, especially how tanning affects each of the various skin shades. A combination of various skin shades among individuals in a diorama adds a great deal of "life", and indeed realism to any person in the scene, by making each figure seem to be a individual (skin shade, eye color, and hair color), rather than identical mannequins wearing different uniforms. Ideally, each character in a diorama should be a little model of a individual unto themselves, giving the person looking at it the ability to read something into the figure's life and personality by their own imagination.

Sounds like a Trumpeter price. that could be another hobby, body painting.

So we wanted to whore around; and he wanted to do it on a budget. And people accuse Democrats of spending money with no reason. This showed a singular sense of economy in regards to horny corruption. Two questions shall follow this: 1.) If Spitzer is client # 9; who are numbers # 1-8? 2.) Where did his $80,000 "fukin' fund" come from? Oh boy... this scandal is epic, like Bill Clinton sticking his cigar up Monica Lewinsky's twat to wet it before smoking. On the upside, it's a classic Democratic sex scandal; involving adult males chasing young females... rather than adult males chasing underage boys, like the classic Republican sex scandal. I'll tell you one thing though.....this presidential election we're heading into right now is something historians are going to be discussing hundreds of years from now in major historical conferences. We are about to realize the old Chinese curse of "living in interesting times". I've been waiting for this all my life; just once to see a major society's ruling concepts shattering like a sheet of glass from the inside. Probably won't be much fun to live through, but boy, will it make interesting reading for future generations. ;-) Pat > I think I'm gonna hold out until they make a 1:1 model of Spitzer's > babe.

I wonder what Playboy's going to pay her for the nekked pictures. $ 80,000?! Get fukin' real. I mean, Christ... he could have had Shakira for that. That might have actually been worth it. He probably wouldn't have survived the night, but my God, what a spectacularly great way to go. You're talking Tina Turner territory here. You'd be running into a basic force of nature, like the sexual equivalent of a major volcanic eruption that could lay waste to cities, and mayhaps sink entire continents.
