    Figure collection for sale

    I am trying to help a young man and his mom here in Salt Lake City sell off a number of figures. The kits belonged to his dad, who passed away last year. I quickly looked over most of the kits on this list and they looked to be complete, except where noted. Some of the other kits in the...

    U.S. Marine 1836

    This is the 120mm Michael Roberts figure we saw being sculpted here in the early days of PF by Gary Dombrowski. What a nice figure. Highly recommended! The only thing I did to the figure was add the convex top to the shako. According to Gary, both types were used. I think the flat top on...

    Great Brush Deal

    A few months ago I bought a no. 2 red sable brush at Utrecht art supply (a chain store in the U.S. ) with the intention of using it as a general purpose brush (mixing paint, etc.). I was so impressed with it that it became one of my most used brushes. I've now used it on 3 figures and it has...

    146th New York

    Well, As per my usual way of doing things, this guy has taken me a while to paint. I've been working on him since March. Sorry the yellows are a bit washed out. I need some better photo lighting. I went with a somewhat darker and duller blue than I have seen on a lot of figs of the 146th. I...

    Who will be in Chicago?

    Maybe its a bit early, but what the hell. Also, is there anyone arriving at O'Hare Friday in the 2:30 - 3:00 pm or so range that might want to share a Limo ride? I'm looking forward to meeting some of you guys there. (Not that there are some that I don't want to meet. :) ). Barry

    Adding Clothing to the Bust

    Well, I've been putting a bit of time on the light dragoon bust here and there. Hopefully, I can have him finished by the Chicago show. I don't work as fast as a lot of you guys do. I have just about finished with the clothing and am ready to start on the helmet, the basic shape of which I...

    My first bust

    I have dabbled with sculpting before, but this is my first complete bust. I intend for it to be a 3rd Continental Light Dragoon. I still have some tweaking on the face here and there and the ears ar roughed in for now. I'll go back in and detail them after the next bake. It is Sculpey III...

    Questions about Chicago show

    I am making plans to go to the Chicago show in October and I have a couple of questions for those who have attended before. I couldn't find schedules of past shows. What generally happens on Sunday? I'm trying to decide whether to leave Sunday evening or Monday morning. Also, how much should...

    Mixing different putties

    I have heard a few of you mention mixing different putties and even mixing Sculpey with Epoxy Putty. Which different products have you guys tried together and what are the results? What are the advantages of particular combinations? Last night, for the first time, I tried mixing duro and A&B...
