So looking forward to producing this little gem.

I was lucky enough to meet Ray while working at Chiodo Bros while working on "Elf" and a stop motion Christmas special for the "Simpsons". He had a very quiet gentle manner. He also had one of the firmest handshakes I have ever encountered. He had amazingly strong hands for a man his age. He did...

His work is stunning.

I hope you know even with the one criticism, that I really do think this piece is great.

I really like this piece, but if there was one thing that seems a little off to me it would be the light. The broken areas should be very bright because the light has nothing to diffuse it there. So it should not be dark but bright with an almost white edge to the broken glass edges. Every thing...

I was just thinking I have had those pieces of oak for like 20 years. I worked construction one year, and I worked with the finish carpenters quite a bit. They always had this beautiful quarter sawn oak that they were using in the house we were working on. So I started to have them save me cut...

Finally got back to this project.

I will say what I always say when someone asks this kind of question. There is no perfect color for a uniform. Or a specific tank for that matter. Uniforms from one company might be one color, uniforms from another might be a different color. They both call them field gray. It might be one made...

Very true. I looked at this and thought it looked like the type of horse you would find on the Scottish English border region in the 16th century and before Hobelar's or Hobbies. A bead that is no longer with us. .

I have always thought that was the idea of a box diorama, to capture a moment.

Really beautiful atmospheric work on this figure so far.

The oak just worked for that. The ligher piece is a small pice of oak branch I found on my walk home. I still need to make a sliding boldt for the door. I do not plan to make it a working feature it just has to look like it could work. ;-)

The door is made from some old oak cut offs I have had for years.

Have the end piece ready to cast. Just need to get diffrent rubber the stuff I have now is way too stiff.

I know. Actually he seems to have been neither. My partner really wanted me to find a name from history or legend for the Wizard. So after going through lots of sources, I really liked Flamel. He has been used in a lot of fiction and it some of it he is also called a wizard. Since most of the...

Kings Road Miniatures newest figure is The Wizard Nicolas Flamel. Figure is 54 mm white metal. http://www.kingsroadminiatures.com/flamel.htm

I have made them, but I chose to use brass wire ruffed up to look like twigs and then used solder for the basket weaving part. I some times use a couple of thickness of it to make it look a little more organic. It takes a little time, but it looks good. You do it in the same way described above.

Stunning.

Wow Brain! I thought he looked good in progress, but this is really wonderful! Will you please send me photos soon, so I can post them on our gallery. I could steal them from here, but I would like the quality to stay as high as possible.

Brian was kind enough to give me a bit of a preview of this figure, and it is outstanding. The rest of the figure is just as nice as the face.
