I\'m just doing heads, but you can chose, I needed a side to stick the bit of sprue to, otherwise there\'s no way to hold it.

@Tuubje, hee hee, love your new sig!

what the hell IS that?

Tuubje, what IS that on your signature? :eek:

Are these supposed to be current coinage? From your home nation? I\'ve got one of those huge English pence pieces somewhere - got it in Gibraltar about 10 years ago.

Wish I had a Spanish pessetta coin from the `90\'s - about the size of a child\'s fingernail. A really SMALL child. :)

Or could we get away with a commemerative coin? Could have a side contest of who comes up with the most interesting small-denomination coin they can find.

I asked him that same question the other day. It\'s a super close-up shot of a glass of Coke - or cola at least.:D

Whoa don\'t paint that! If it\'s what I think it is then it\'s worth more than you think. The old Pre-decimilisation coinage has a greater monetary value than it\'s face value. If it\'s a Gibraltar coin it may be worth a little bit more. (possibly between $3-5).
There\'s a coin/collectors shop near to where I work and an old (1940\'s) Copperplate style £5 note was going for sale in the window at £140. Not bad for something that was scrapped ten years before I was born.

I\'ve found the coin for me an Irish 2p piece with a fantastic Celtic design on the rear.

Try harder----oops wrong thread! That should be in the \"Something for the Weekend.\"
Big magnifiers, \"Gizmo\'s & Gadgets for the painters & modelers thread\" should help, that and small brushes, steady hands Nanotechnology...You name it we all need it!

Righty, my penny is finished, and I\'ll try to get a picture of it posted tomorrow. It\'s pretty crappy and silly, but this competition isn\'t that serious anyway. I want you all to work on yours! It only took me 15 mins to do mine, I\'m sure even you lazy bums have time for that :p

I just might have to give the NMM bronze and some of the green oxidization and everything just for fun... even though I think it\'s illegal to deface currency like that ;)

Actually, no I won\'t, I\'ll get dragged off to the pub to play pool, maybe tomorrow after work...

Arabian nights....

Oooh I found some Arabic money in the roof whilst I was looking for models. I think I\'ve got a penny - it\'s lovely too with a Dau (boat? crap sp) - think I\'ll give that one a whirl :D
