Hey Guys,

My buddy Robbie sent me a bunch of pics via e-mail and I do not know how to post them here can anybody give me a helping hand so I can post them ?

Can you just download them from your email to a folder, then put them in whatever picture system you currently use (I see you post pics all the time so you must be using something). I use Photobucket. Just upload from whatever folder you download the email attachments. If the email has the pics but they aren't attachments, try right clicking on the picture in the email body and "save as" to get them into a folder on your hard drive.
Hope I'm not telling you what you already know. Let me know if this helps or not.
Phil

Well I finally got my act together .

Here is Robbie's Showcase. More pics to follow later on tonight.

What makes his work even more unique is that HE DOES NOT USE AN AIRBRUSH.

The base paint is laid down with a rattle can and his finish is all washes and filters.

But he is a professional artist and makes his living from painting oil on canvas paintings and portraits.

HOLY S---- I would hate to see what he could do with an airbrush

OMG!

More pics.

In a week or so he may have his Firefly ready to post. He also is almost ready to wrap up his T-23/Dozer combo. They should be posted soon hopefully.

I can't wait to see the pics !!!

Wow, that's really amazing stuff. The M10 is incredible.

Fantastic work from your buddy, Robbie.

And just using a rattle can. Wow. He really has a knack for weathering, and washes.

Wish I had half his talent.

Hope he doesn't enter our "contest".

Wow, that is amazing, no airbrush, just a real knack for detail, makes me think there is hope for the rest of us and I hope he does enter the contest

This looks like it could be fun, really, think about all the cool models we will get to see.

This is pretty awesome and inspiring

Gotta start searching youtube for tutorials to this method of weathering one of these days

Robbie finished his M-3 TD and Firefly.

They look fantastic!!!

But with this new comp. Forget about posting new pics.

I do not even know how to transfer pics from my camera.

Sometimes change aint so good.

Great work!!
really like the 222 and would like to learn more about washes and filters.

I don't know how more real looking you could get. He's got the worn metal thing down. Everything looks real like it weighs tons like heavy iron vehicles do in real life.

Your friend is really talented.

More pics !!

Here is a few shots of the Firefly and Marine M-3 tank destroyer from the Pacific.

He told me that these started life as Indiana Jones Russian figures

Only thing I do not like are the brush strokes on the barrel of the M3. Other than that fantastic work!!!!!!

YOu have an awesome friend!

snake · Post by **snake** » Sun Dec 05, 2010 3:46 pm

More fantastic work from Robbie.

Looks like it is real metal, and weathered beautifully.

Magnificent! Those custom vehicle's are amazing, love the weathering style.
The British tanker are awesome, great modify skill from Indiana Jones Russian figures!!

Robbie has been hard at it. He finished his T-34/76 and the Sherman with my dozer and T-23 turret.

Not to bad of a job

But he has got to get a backdrop !~!!

Don't be scared I am on the left Robbie is on the right. Two old guys playing with toys.

Der Kommandant · Post by **Der Kommandant** » Tue May 03, 2011 8:52 pm

Most impressive...

snake · Post by **snake** » Tue May 03, 2011 9:12 pm

Robbie's latest two are both stunning.

But all of his work is.

ram04 · Post by **ram04** » Tue May 03, 2011 11:23 pm

Very nice work, glad to see I'm not the only member of the old farts team

My buddy Robbie is a professional ] painter.

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 ?

Does a cat have a climbing gear? Yes I am very interested! PM sent!

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Thu Aug 04, 2011 2:33 pm

If they can look like the above, $100 would be a steal

The T-34 is excellent, does he use graphite on the edges?
