Addicted ?

[Spiker]

How long does a collector remain happy and satisfied after the latest find ,
And how long does it take before the hunt begins all over again ?
Am I addicted to collecting ?
At least I still have another hobby to keep me distracted for a while ,
I’m building models of famous people ,manga’s and …little fellows with …PICKELHAUBES!!! ](*,) :tongue3:

Nice job on the miniatures! As far as addictions? I cant shake my own!

 

[argonne]

OMG Spiker, I already suspected that...
You are belonging to that sort of people who are totally crazy about details and realism!!!
Willkommen im Club!!! I built such lovely things as I was young and now I am still crazy and make such crazy displays:

Those are NICELY DONE! Your shading / mottled shadows are just right, not overdone (as they usually are) and the facial painting is excellent as well. I seldom see figures that make me take notice because of the over use of highlights and shadows, but there's nothing forced about yours. Again, Well Done!
And yes... we are addicted to collecting. I usually have to allow some breathing time between purchases for my bank account to recover. Then, it's back to the wants list and, as Holmes would say, "The game is afoot!"

My thoughts exactly! A figurine is a 3 dimensional object and so it has shades of its own.
Therefore it is not necessary to overdo the contrasts.
Thank you Ron !

You're welcome and... Agreed. Easy does it and you can plainly see the result! You've done a magnificent job with these. I, by the way, suck at painting figures.
