Thanks, Ulrich There is a bit more contrast on the 2 headed version.

Thanks, John. I appreciate the feedback :)

Hi Marc, Thanks to you too. I'm glad you like them. I'm more partial to the 2 heads version as well :-) Craig

Hi Brad. Yes, I had the original piece at the last MFCA show. Thanks for the nice comments. Craig

Thanks, Nap. While I haven't posted in a long time, I have still been painting. I don't know who makes the piece but, it's available from Jack Muldoon at The Little Tin Soldier http://thelittletinsoldier.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=61&osCsid=53fa13943cc8e232c38ce2d52a87a1e5 I never did notice...

AND here's the first one, for comparison. By the way, these are the only 2 flats I've ever done ☺

I've finally finished a figure! My last completed piece was 1 1/2 years ago. I've started several in that time but just wasn't able to get anything completed until now. That one was a lion flat I did for a co-worker. I liked the piece so much that I got another one for myself. I modified it by...

Back again :-) So here's my story... The piece is a soft vinyl like the old Horizon figures. First attempt: Cleaned and primed with AlClad lacquer thru my airbrush. Oils never dried so I stripped with lacquer thinner and started over. Second attempt: Cleaned and primed with Dupli-Color...

Hi guys. Just a quick reply as I'm at lunch here. First, thanks for the replies and suggestions. More info tonight after I get home and can get organized :-) Craig

Hello all. Haven't done any posting for a very long time but still here and still painting :-) I'm having trouble with using oils on a vinyl figure. I've have the same problem in the past where certain colors (but by no means all) refuse to dry...for weeks at a time! So, my solution has always...
