@ Weswood:
Hey, that's cool. Building a ship to play an adventure with ...
I like it
@ Tegyrius:
Your doing injustice to yourself
Those minis are looking very good!
@ Odie:
Thanks a lot, mate!
Your vehicles look stunning! You
have to do a more "twilightian" model.
The Burlap: Tissue paper and diluted PVA glue does the job. I paint the burlap before glueing the helmet to the model.
And for the rest: It's a question of practice and a lot of tips and ideas from hobby magazines, unfortunately all in German. There is an excellent book on miniature painting and building by Bill Horan. I've lended it to a friend, so I have no title or ISBN and so forth, but I'll send you the info, when I've talked to him.
Found it:
