Eduardo, I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood your question. I thought you were looking for figures to buy, but apparently you are looking for a manufacturer to market your figures. Am I correct in my assumption that these are figures that you have sculpted? These are wonderful figures! Let us...

Einion, I thought that probably Blick's and Andrea might be made by the same manufacturerer. Unfortunately, I can't critique the Blick's brushes as I haven't had a chance to use them yet. I like Cheap Joe's stuff as a rule, but most of their brush lines seem large for figure painting. Are...

Dixon makes a nice line of samurai figures in 25mm. Mike

I don't know who makes them, either, but I have some Blick Master Kolinsky brushes that appear to be identical to my Andrea brushes except for the name stamped on them. Mike

Kris, I purchased 5 pounds of MagicSculpt in 2002 and still have about 2/3 of it left. The hardener sometimes forms a yellowish skin in the container, but I knead this in before use. So far, I've had no problems with the putty hardening properly. I knead each part seperately until soft before...

Japan, ancient to present. Mike

I always understood the term "cartridge paper" to mean what Americans call typing paper. Mike

Understanding this, my biggest complaint with both commercial figure mannequins and "artists" mannequins is that they tend to neglect the fact that shoulders move independently of the torso and of each other, and move in many directions. Most mannequins make the shoulder joint part of the torso...

Ori, Great figure, and I love the presentation! Very imaginative, and very well done :thumb: ! Mike

Roy, The unpainted Pantaloon looks great. I've only seen a poor photo of it painted on The Red Lancers site. It doesn't do justice to the piece. Gary, The Red Lancers still lists a few of Roy's flats, including Pantaloon and the samurai. Mike

Pili-Pili and Nemrod.

Nice work :thumb: ! Fun stuff! Mike

Talino, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "chisel brush", but there is a class of "brushes" known as color shapers that are made of rubber or cork. Cheap Joe's sells a range of them, but has no pics on the site. Dick Blick sells some with a regular brush on one end and a color shaper on the...

Don't know of a place in Canada, but Michigan Toy Soldier sells Michael Robert's brand, and also Gary Smith brand, which has a larger color range. Mike

Hello Xenofon, You might keep an eye on eBay. Paine's figure book shows up there from time to time. Although it often gets bid up into the stratosphere, I managed to get a copy for about the cover price. I agree with Einion about Paine's How to Build Dioramas. It's definitely worth having, and...

Guy, That's a rather amazing transformation for just a coat of primer. The quality of the sculpture doesn't look that good in the "before" picture. It'll be interesting to see the transformation once you've painted it,. You'll have to show us side by side "before' and "after" pics. Do you plan...

Per Olav, That's quite an impressive diorama you're putting together! Great concept. I love the flight suit on the figure holding the gun, and the motorcycle is a beautiful piece of work. Mike

Thanks for posting the additional pics, Einion. The female's kimono is spectacular! Mike

:o I had convinced myself this was a 90mm figure. That's quite an amazing paint job! Thanks for posting the pics of it, Roy. Mike

Roy Hunt posted several pics of this figure in the Euro 2005 gallery on his website (wonderful pics, Roy!). Can anyone tell me who sculpted it, and is it commercially available? If it's commercially available, who did this particular example? Mike
