Painting him well, you are!:)

Looks great, Luca. I really like this piece and your blues and reds looks great! Matt

Nice job. I would build up the top of the head a bit. I also think the lower lip and the brows need more volume. I think the key to this piece is getting the asymmetry of his face right. I don't think there is any doubt about who he is supposed to be. Good job!

Nice! I think the Sun Bear looks interesting. I would also like to see Mike's Richard piece in more detail. Very impressive collection of releases, Steve! Matt

Nice work, Paul. I like your painting job on the face especially. :thumb:

Nice job, Mike. It's obvious to me that you've been working alot on your painting. Really nice! Matt

Here's a new bust I'm doing. Somewhere around 1/6 scale. Big for my usual scale, but still quite small. This is one I hope to have funished and painted also in Chicago. One of my fav movies as a kid and one of my fav comedic actors. I hope you can recognize him. Still work to do...

Here are a few figures I'm painting for the upcoming Chicago Show in October. Using the wife's camera again. Horrible quality pictures I've gotten, but at least it's evidence that I am staying busy. The Napoleonic piece will be donated to the MMSI Chicago Figure Auction. The bust is my Peter the...

Thanks, Anders. I thought about a piece being damaged or melting during shipping. What a mess that would be. I might be able to get some casting done in Atlanta. John's too busy fly fishing to be bothered with casting anymore! :) Matt

Great tips, Einion. Thanks. I'm just looking for a material bette suited to portrait work and the endless tweaking I need to do that. I would also like to get more into textures on skin tones which is very hard to do, for me, with MS or similar epoxy putty. I will post again if I find a new...

Einion, I think I would prefer an open-ended working time to get my volumes right. I have to ask though, how to you increase the working time of MS? Freezing? Matt

Thanks for the input, guys. I do have an order in for some of Adam's CX5. We'll see if it ever ships. I first heard about it's pending release over a year ago. Looks like great stuff. Mike - Are you talking about J-Mac's Classic Clay? Btw- Castiline is a wax, I think. I've used super...

Hi, everyone. I'm always searching for a good sculpting medium. I've always used Magic Sculp, but feel limited by it's short working time. I'm getting into sculpting larger scale pieces and the MS is just impracticle. My question is for those who cast figures. Any problems casting an oil...

Fernando, Lovely painting! I love your color choices. Matt

Nice job. I like the red against the more subdued green jacket. The lace looks cleanly done as well. Thanks for posting! Matt

Hi, everyone. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Here is a bust I just finished sculpting for Michael Miniatures. This piece will be released soon. I will be painting the boxart as well and hope to have the finished piece on display at the Chicago Show in October. It should be attractive with a...

Thanks, guys!!! Matt

This one was just released today. A very characterized version of the King late in his rule. I'm honored to have one of my favorite figure painters do the boxart. Cheers to Sang Eon-Lee for bringing the piece to lefe with his version. This kit is now availble from Michael Miniatures and has been...

Thanks folks for the nice comments. What a thrill to see the master's paintwork on this bust. His painting really compliments the piece and is the right mix of character and charature that I was after in the sculpt. Working now on my next piece for Mike. A Russian this time..... Matt S.

Here are some pics (courtesy of Pegaso) of a bust I sculpted some time ago for them that has just been released. Massimo did the painting for the boxart. I hope to get time to paint one myself sometime. More...
