Here's a WIP pic' of a Nurse from the Silent Hill video games: I'm using this as a concept model to explore the potential pit falls in sculpting the character. When I sculpt the next one I'll have a better idea of the proportions and construction as I'm not 100% happy with this one...

Does anybody know where I can order 'white stuff' putty in the UK? I've only found two sources, a US based ebay seller who won't ship internationally and an old page to (the now defunct?!) TheFigureTrader...

May I salute every single contributor to CMON for making this the friendliest forum on the web. This is one of the few message boards I've encountered which isn't full of bitching, backstabbing and petty one-man-upmanship (well, bar the odd bit of tactical low voting!). May we all live happily...

Further to my Blight Drone WIP thread, I thought I ought to start one for my many Plague Marines. Shamefully, seven of these (#2-8) were started in the summer of 2005 (gasp) and due to \'sculptors block\' (i.e. laziness, poor planning and \'other commitments\'...) they are still incomplete...

Having seen GW Forge Worlds cool Blight Drone model, I was inspired to have a go at sculpting my own. The idea was to make one in the space of a week, taking photos along the way to post as a WIP thread on this fine website. As tends to happen with my intended speed sculpting exercises, my...

Has anybody tried using one of those magnifier head bands for sculpting or painting? I do a lot of sculpting and was wondering if anyone had any advice, pros/cons, etc? Been looking on ebay and there\'s a fair amount of choice. Advice?

This week I\'ve been covertly spending 15 minutes a night sculpting a Valentines Day gift for my girlfriend: a small bear holding a heart. I finished sculpting last night and will quickly paint it this evening. The question is, what colour do I paint it?! My current thought is yellow, with blue...

ive just finished work for christmas and have almost two weeks off. as i have so many unfinished sculpts that ive been working on at embarrassing snails pace, ive decided to show myself how it should be done! im going to try and do a speed piece to encourage myself to be less of a perfectionist...

Just wondered what kind of jobs you all do and whether or not you enjoy working life? Stupid question, I know! I studied Chemistry and have been working in lab\' jobs for three years now. My first job was the only lab\' role available in the city I was in and was minimum wage. The hours were...

In an unprecedented moment of freedom, I will have the whole of this evening to myself (my girlfriend is going out for her works Christmas party - God, I\'m so under the thumb...!). I\'m torn as to how I should spend this glorious free time... Do I: A) Sculpt; B) Play guitar; C) Watch a DVD...

Who is your favourite member of the Ghostbusters?! I have started sculpting one but can\'t decide who I want it to be... My final design will be based upon the Real Ghostbusters cartoon, as opposed to the film. Help me decide! :beer:

I\'ve got a small bundle of bolsa wood, a block of some kind of soft stuff (not foam - not sure what its called). If you live in Manchester and want to take it off my hands it\'s yours! I can\'t bear to throw stuff away! Private message me as I\'ll easily lose this thread :beer:

I need some help here! I started an armature for a zombie mini I had in mind. No matter how I positioned it, it just didn\'t look very zombie-like in its pose. Then I had a brainwave... why not make a model of Matt Bellamy from the band Muse instead?! What do you think?! Any thoughts for other...
