Nice looking tree! If you want to go the easy route buy a ready made tree then check out this site. www.sweetwaterscenery.com They have trees in all scales, sizes and colors. They even have some tree kits that are pretty nice! -Mitch-

Aluminium foil works great for this purpose, especially on the larger figures. Its uneven surface is perfect for capturing Super Sculpey. Sometimes I don’t even use any wire at all, just foil. -Mitch-

Hey! Good point and not only does the shoulder raise but the shirt/coat collar will push up in turn. If the shirt is tucked into a belt, the belt may be pulled up a little as will. It’s these subtle nuances that make the difference between a good figure and a great figure. Mitch

Hej Gunnar I found a company in Germany, mp artware ( www.mp-artware.de ) that sells Chavant p40 for 9,04 euros /kg netto and it comes in sticks of 2,73 kg which is about 25 euros per stick. If you can't order netto I can get some into our store in Köping. At least then you can buy some locally...

Hello again all! This might not be the right forum for this post, but, can anyone recommend a reputable company offering casting services? I am casting some myself, but with mixed results and I don’t want to destroy some of my better masters. Thanks Mitch

Hey Bach I asked my dentist for any old dental tools, and he pulled out a box full of all different kinds of probes and scrappers. He let me pick out about 15 though I only use 2. I get a lot of use from my Clay Shapers as well. What country are you in? If you are in Scandinavia I can hook you...

Sztarbi – Thanks Jim Patrick – Not quite sure which version it will be. I had thought to do the movie ver. But he may be too buff to pass for Toby Maguire. Which comic book version do you prefer? Do you know of any good references? LCoote – Thanks Patrick Kirk - I’ve been thinking about...

Hello all! Here are some images of my version of “Spidy” It’s 200 mm; about the size of a “real” GI Joe (I guess I just dated myself) The idea was that he would be swinging through the air between two webs made of fishing line and gauze. Anyway, comments? Mitch
