Thank you. I look forward to participating in discussions. Cheers! Tom

Steve: Great work. I like it. It evokes the atmosphere of a Howard Pyle painting. If you want to increase the focus on the figure, subtly bump up the lighting on him a notch — as if he is lite but the background is shaded by a cloud. The warmth of real sunlight would be great on the...

Thanks, Kevin. I'll try to post some things on the vbench that I'm working on in a few days. Cheers! Tom

Greetings, everyone! After several years away from the hobby, I have returned. And what better place to be rejuvenated than Planetfigure! Though it has been a while since I posted any work or contributed on forums here, I hope to make it a regular practice. I am retired now, so it should...

Greetings, all! I have been experiencing a problem with Magic sculpt and I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered the same... I've been working with Magic Sculpt for several years now with great success. However over the lasrt several days I've been experiencing curing problems. The stuff...

Thanks for the suggestions. I am encouraged and will follow up. Cheers! Tom

Greetings, all! I'm curious if anyone can recommend a reputable mold making/resin casting service? I have some figures I'd like to produce under my own label, but I'd rather not devote time to the production process. Can anyone offer some leads? Thanks! Tom

Hi, Gary! Actually, I have one I made on the computer that I use all the time—but it is a paper print out. I was just looking for a "permanent" one. Thanks. Tom

Greetings, everyone! Just curious if a 1/16 scale ruler is manufactured by anyone? I've got rulers for all the other scales — but have never seen one for 1/16. Is there one? Thanks! Tom

Taesung! Very nice work sir! Perhaps your best work yet. I especially like the half figure. More please... Tom

Dave: That is a truly superb likeness!!! You nailed him! I have tried my hand at Rommel, and found his features somewhat elusive. You however have got the relationship of all the features just right. Bravo! Welcome to the Planet and I hope to see more of your work. Tom

Excellent work, Taesung! I always look forward to your releases. I will definitely pick these up. Tom

John: Interesting set of features. It already has character, even without paint. Curious to see the rest. Tom

Well, like any technique, I'm experiencing a learning curve... SO FAR: Management of the vaseline has proven tricky. Being clear, it is hard to detect and easily gets where you don't want it. A minute speck goes a long way. A few plugs have sheared off. One instance was caused by the female...

Brock: You may have already seen this but... http://www.redlancers.com/displaypic.asp?item=19672&hot= New Order Model Design also makes an entire line of weapons in 120mm. Cheers! Tom
