I am surprised that he holds the piece in his hand while working on it. That clay mixture must really be hard when cooled down. I would think it would be brittle though and would be afraid of accidentally breaking off an ear or something else while holding it. I have never tried CX5 but have...

Gary, you have really captured Pyle's work. That face has real personality. Great job!

I always thought that Dick Winters represented the ideal soldier. Both his portrayal in BoB and his real life demeanor showed a person who had real values, knew what they were fighting for and yet took no pleasure in doing a job that was one of the most difficult one can imagine. I had real...

There are two types o f materials called "green stuff." One is Squadron putty here: http://www.ehobbies.com/squ9050.html The other is Kneadatite which is here: http://www.michtoy.com/item-POL-600400060-Kneadatite_Duro_Putty_BlueYellow_Epoxy_Putty.html They are both completely different.

Are the Cannone's sculpting for anyone commercially now? Their work has always been inspiring.

I think you captured the panic of the moment very well.

Mike, I think this model is a fail. I mean he is holding a map but he is not doing the requisite pointing off in the distance. LOL!

If you read the "About" section on her website she provides some info on scale. Apparently since these dios are primarily for the photo the scales vary depending on the setting portrayed. She states: "My scenes can be as small as 50x60 centimeters and as large as 182 centimeters in...

Excellent stuff!

I haven't used MS in a couple of years. I use almost exclusively Apoxie and Kneadatite. It is not that the Aves clumps but just gets harder after awhile and the crock pot softens it up to use. Once softened it is like new.

I have a dedicated crockpot for modeling that I use to restore epoxy. Works fine.

I think for your dio the Troiani painting is a good reference. I grew up with this picture from Charles McBarron in my bedroom:

I found this via Stumble and thought they were pretty outstanding. http://thedesigninspiration.com/articles/vivid-paper-sculpture-by-allen-and-patty-eckman/

Don't forget the trusty Kneadatite.

Either one is fine. Just make sure the enamels are completely dry.

The painting is very good however.... ...Pancho Villa did not dress like this from the many pictures I have seen. Also he was a lot heavier and not so buff looking. He typically wore a three piece suit with bandoleers or a military style uniform. He also preferred rifles to pistols. He wasn't a...

Outstanding!

1778 Civil war???? American Revolutionary War perhaps?

Very well done and appealing interpretation. Something muted about the colors gives it the impression it is a color tinted black and white photo very appropriate for the period.
