stunning work. You two (ph and robbie) should team up and sell some of these on ebay. Put them on auction for high-ish starting bids and see how high they go.

Think that is a fantastic idea, and proposition, Pickel.
And $100ish seems very reasonable.
Not much of a 1/18 armour collector myself, but I think that there would definitely be interest in these projects.
You could even post on Ebay, and give Jnewboy a run for his money.

Things are hard all over and as you guessed it he is not painting very many portraits and scenery paintings as he normally does.
I suggested to him , why don't you paint customs . He could be down for this if there is interest.
All of these posted pieces of armor are highly customized.
I asked him can you do a custom paint jobs on a Sherman or tiger or what ever as consignments ?
He said that he could. For $100 he can take a standard 1/18 model and bring it to life. If the customer pays both way for shipping.
Is there interest ?
Yes! I'm interested!
. You guys are both artists!

He uses graphite and Tamiya gun metal dry brushing.
I have talked to him about doing a FOV 1/18 Sherman to show as a proof of concept.
Hopefully we can see something by the weekend.
As I stated before all the models I have posted are highly modified with a lot of gear. He will ( hopefully ) take the plain Jane FOV out of the box and do his thing.
Heck I may be his first customer

I still can't believe he doesn't use an airbrush. True skill!

Yes he does. To see one of these things close up is amazing.
I am working a deal with Robbie right now and I am the proud owner of one of the first Sdkz 222 kits that went to market.
I am now the proud owner of this .
Robbie stated to paint a FOV Sherman for proof of concept . Hopefully in a couple of days or so we will have something to show.

Well I guess it is a sign of the times .
My buddy Robbie is starting to get out of the 1/18 scale hobby.
He will continue to collect 1/16 and 1/6 pieces of armor.
Partly because I have not had the time to make any new projects.
I have been trading with him to get some of these works of art .
In a week or so I will be receiving:
M-3 tank destroyer
USMC Sherman with wading trunks
Gaz-AA
Sherman with dozer blade
I already have his :
Firefly
T-34/76
I had his Sdkfz 222 and unfortunately I traded it in a recent trade acquiring a 1/6 scale Panther.
Still I was sad to see it go and I still do not have one in my collection.
