You are very diligent and enjoy it, so you will be successful.
You'll know that already, but if it does not, maybe it can help you.

Brain, all nonsense.
 You do not need 20 years to take over my and Wolfgang Friedich's workbench.

Stay with 30 mm figures, they learn to copy fast.
It makes no sense to engrave things that have neither abdomen and legs and can not stand by itself.
Anders and quickly praised low erziehlen a good execution of engravings.

Use a modeling clay to make an impression of a similar figure you have.
And copy the partitions where you see problems.
they are clearly in the advantage, they will do it!

Okay got the 40mm's  but here is the Bilbo and Gollum painted in oils


Plus "Ogri" and the three I did a while ago ,see it is getting better hahaha

[Brian]

and then we got 40mm, all WIP

[Brian]

WIP   

[Brian]

Thanks Gerald, painting a Gollum in oil's and it looks a lot better!!

[Gerald]

the figures have Charm

[Brian]

Then came Gollum
Still lots of work to do on the mould

[Brian]

Hobbit yes he's a Baggins, Bilbo !     Just going to start Gollum so fingers crossed it might look like him hahaha

[Nicholas Ball]

It’s not that bad.  I think it’s the nose as the centre line is straight. The eyes and mouth might be a bit wide, but as a figure of a hobbit or elf it’s pretty good.  Keep going, your on the right track

[Brian]

Ok I know it's not good but where has it gone wrong?

[Gerald]

The first step on the way to a good engraver. In Germany it says: "It is not a master fallen from the sky"
So stick it and practicing practicing practicing

[Brian]

And with a bit of paint, still lots to do to get away from the cartoon look 

[Brian]

Well had another go, and you know what there getting better!!!
Give me 20 years and I might be to the "standard" to sell hahaha
