Its a technology thats going to become more and more common in miniature making. Myself I see it as just another tool in the kit.
At the moment the level of detail for a 28mm figure is a way off...
Thats a very nice sculpt by a very good sculptor. If I still painted I would buy it without hesitation.
Good luck with your little venture :-)
Hmm must have some darned smooth gnashers for that.:smile-big:

Adding wood and metal when curing sculpey is OK as long as you keep the temperature down. Some of the low melt alloys will melt at sculpey curing temp.
I think its a great little show. Fun.
I noticed Kirill has a sickeningly high registered average.....and rightly so IMO.
I just worked out my own and it would go up from 8.6 to 8.66 so not much difference there.
Its very interesting to look at actually.
Lets just say the painter I looked at would see an average score of 9.68 drop to 9.4 which would put them at no 41 in the top 50 instead of no6.
The others...
I did notice a certain painter has a registered average quite a bit lower than the non registered one on a lot of submissions.
EDITED for the sake of global peace.;)
Ive just checked out a few of the top artists and believe me it would definitely be interesting. There are some figures with 1400 votes and only 250 of them registered.???
Ive checked my own out...
Most of the time I make these from spare putty that has gone just too hard for other uses. Got a bag full of little bags. All shapes and sizes and they come in pretty handy.

My kids LOVE the show and are scared stiff watching it.
They are 5 and 6 years old.

Thanks Peter.
Looking forward to getting involved over there.

Ooh I had loads of fun painting this guy.
He is a vampire in his \"bat\" form. Excellent sculpt by Paul Muller who has also done the ghouls for Heresy.
I ended up doing a quick job on him with...
Peter said exactly what I was going to say.
First lot are over rated IMO. Second slighlty under rated.
I would give 8 for each set.
One point to note though is that if someone does sculpt this for you and you pay them to do it then you are committing IP theft.
Something to think about.
Email me a pic of the guy you want or post it here and I will give you a quote. ;)

And before anyone says \" but its a demon and he is red and dark and brooding \"
Well yes you would be right.
Still dull though.
OK guys lets let it drop. Its all sorted and everyones mates again.:D
Lets get back on track with the project. Hopefully photobucket will sort itself out and Ming-Hua will get some pics up.
