This is a great idea Stu, and good proactive way of going about making the recasters life as difficult as possible. But I think it has operate behind the lines. It has to done private message basis. if anyone stumbles upon a recaster, send a private message to the manufacturers. Then the...

Tony# I have known you for many years mate. But I totally and utterly disagree with you on this. Lets stop calling bargain hunting. Because we all know what it is. Your buying stolen/ counterfeit property. As for the prices being charged by manufacturers. As some kind of justification is utter...

Just a thought. Is there any way the images on here PF can be encrypted? Carl

Copyright law is a very grey area. But i do suspect that products are being without licence. If the producers decided to be funny they could quite easily serve a cease and desist order on anyone or all concerned, that includes the recaster. A cease and desist give the producer the opportunity to...

Now that I can't deny Mark. You've rumbled me mate! Carl

Hi Guys, Firstly I would just like to clarify I have absolutely no problem with critism. As I've stated previously I've sculpted in some harsh environments, where you are a mere conduit for others peoples creativity. An environment where the balance sheet is the only meaningful ingredient, a...

I don't think you quite get this freedom of speech thing! Because with it comes the right to reply, and shock horror disagree. As for this is the first time i have experienced critism, you're very wrong! I've been a commercial sculptor for almost 30 years. I have worked for some of the...

You seem determined to continue your pursuit! Like I said your entitled to your opinion. Others have a right to their opinion too, and dare I say the right voice it. After all it is a "free open forum"!

Of course you didn't mention you don't like my work. But thats what was meant, without actually saying it.... You do have a right to your "HUMBLE OPINION", and I have a right to reply to it. Cheers

Of which you are clearly NOT a member, it seems! I don't force anyone to like anything I sculpt. You obviously don't like my offering and that is absolutely fine. There is plenty of products from varoius manufacturers all over the world.

This is gonna look awesome Brian! Carl

Well bearing in mind I sculpt somewhere between 30- 50 pieces a year in various scales, periods and styles, and you pick out 5... But if you don't like what I sculpt thats fine you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. But as long as my clients and their customers are happy I'll continue to...

What exactly are you saying?

Clone? Would you care to explain? Carl

Thanks mate! I hope its a little help to those who want to dabble with the putty. I'm not sure it's the holy bible though. Its just the way I approach it. Like I said previously other sculptors produce unbeivable works of art with a completely different method. So I guess just gather as much...

That looks much better mate. You've now got a good basic head formed. You can use that principle for every head no matter what scale. Now it comes to refining the face. But for this you need study human faces. With pictoral evidence, and you will begin to notice the different subtle variations...

Hi Rich, I find it hard to use face planes. I tend to use a book of facial expressions I have. I find this gives me more freedom and scope to manipulate the face. But thats only the I do it. Others use different methods with fantastic results. Its the same as the body of the piece. I sculpt...

Hi Richie, Glad you find this thread informative. It was my intention to pass on as much as i could. It's very difficult to explain everything. In some cases its easier to show than explain. But hopefully its helped a little. The Sculpey i use is standard and black. I only add the black as...

Hi Kevin, It looks ok mate! A bit more work and it should start taking shape, and the more shape it takes, the more your confidence will grow. If you lower the brow line, and bulk out mouth area. You should see a big difference. you bulk the mouth by adding an upper and lower lip. This should...

Chris is right you've made a great start! All you have to remember is you have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. The forehead, brow and nose position is pretty good. it wouldn't take much to make your work into a good head sculpt. Try and remember there's a symmetry between the left and...
