1/72 figure gallery/forums?

Nov 26, 2006 4 Replies

Hello all. I enjoy building a variety of models, but for the last several years my interest has been in 1/72 armor and figures. My goal is to paint figures in this scale with as much detail as possible, using many of the same techniques designed for larger scale figures. For my efforts I've been honored with several awards at various IPMS contests around my state.



It would please me very much to share my work with others in the form of photos and tips, but I cannot find any forums that cover my subject. I lack the technical expertise to start my own website, so I hoped to find one already in existence.



Can anyone tell me of a site I can look into? All leads would be appreciated. Further, if anyone who reads this is interested in viewing some of my work, I would be happy to email some photos.



Thanks, and happy modeling!

We're living in a world that's been pulled over our eyes to blind us from the truth. Where are you, white rabbit?



I hope that your request drums up a site. I've had some luck over the years with 1/72 figures as part of dioramas and vignettes. Now I'm doing a big batch of WWI Russians for a friend and I certainly could use the same help that you are seeking. I'll do a few figures from each set or line. Seven sets on hand so far. The first pick was a given:Orion Red 1st Cavalry, three charging at full gallop, one a bugler. Osprey books for reference.

Cheers,

Tom

You could try some of the sites and groups listed on the links page of the Plastic Soldier Review, which is an excellent place to see virtually every
