Animals

[Mark W]

Elk, Raccoon, and Squirrels have joined the party.

I could probably paint that raccoon as a cat too...

@Mark W , your miniature painting skilz are da bomb.  Just amazing and i am noting the color difference from the sides of the elk to his back, among other subtleties.

Oh damn!  Who's going to be the first with a N/T-Trak module with a zoo????

Moose and squirrel! All we need now is Boris and Natasha.

But Squirrel needs pilot goggles!  (and yes, my earlier cryptic comment was also a reference to RJS & BTM)

Mark's N-Scale Animal Kingdom!  And John gets his racoon!  This is awesome!

I also agree with John that Mark, your painting skills are superb!

That would be one big cat--but, as it happens, one of my five (Bobby) is almost as big...

And I agree, awesome finishing! Where do you find the @#$% time to make all of these? Does Hiru need to book time in advance to see you?

Bighorn Sheep, on the other hand, are usually smaller than deer!  Let's see how they'll do.

I just love it! 


Hiru want's a printed house cat next...   now that should be a challenge. 

I've yet to be sold on a vehicle, but I am digging the animals! (much more forgiving shape)

That's the secret.  SHE paints them! 

I let her do the base coat that is.  The rest is just dry-brushing with a very fine brush. 
She loves doing a few in between her research and netflix.  She also makes all my super trees ever since watching a few Luke Towan videos!

Here my palette (best use for those scrap print platforms!) and colors.  Vallejo Acrylics are a dream to work with on this resin!  Both from the bristle brush and the airbrush.

The 0000 Winsor & Newton 111 Round is the smallest brush I could find at Michaels, under 5 bucks (then use the 40% coupons too).

I need an N scale rifle for that N scale racoon...they are evil nasty critters!

When do I get a swap creature package with a couple coons, a possum, a half dozen squirels and a couple actualy n scale gators?

Do you paint with magnification? I can’t fathom painting something that small.

While Mark's work is superb, as far as the size goes, there are others who take it few magnitudes farther.

This is in a, slightly enlarged, eye of a needle.



Not trying to take away from Mark's work - just showing that there are some *REALLY* crazy people out there.
