Hello again folks!

[PitYak Studios]

Long time no see, I thought I would call in and let you all know what I'm up to nowadays (although at least a couple of you know already)

I've pretty much given up on the 20mm stuff now as my eyes can't hack it anymore. I've still got my last batch of WIP sitting here on my bench gathering dust, so I haven't officialy given up, I will in theory get the brushes out again one day.

Now I just resort to 1:1 scale stuff.

Welcome back Phil!

You look really handsome in some of those costumes!

[PitYak Studios]

Thanks. I think.

[Kekso]

[PitYak Studios]

funnily enough I have been thinking of getting back into action man / gi joe customising

[Peter]

Thanks. I think.

[Susofrick]

Welcome back! Well, seen most of it on Facebook, but here is the real world! And as Dali says, you can post bigger scales now. I don't we have that many that work in scale 1:1 so you are needed.

Great uniforms...Do you do also re-enactment of battles?

[PitYak Studios]

No - I mostly do alt-historical costumes which exist only in my imagination so finding enough combatants to reenact (or enact?) battles is a bit impractical. I have lot of friends who are reenactors though, and I occasionally tag along with them to make up the numbers. This is me as a maori wars british soldier:

Very nice of you to visit us,and post your interesting pictures of dressed up fun.
I no longer dress up for occasions now, but I do dress down in floppy style clothes for painting and for many of my diverse scratch building projects. So as I`m always doing a Suffling Something in my retirement ,I can be as Dressed Down Floppy like as I choose . BB

What I could use is a Big Tin of Corrective Paint where my painting is concerned. BB

[PitYak Studios]
