Beautiful piece.

Nice useful idea.

Sippog, Yes, same stuff.

As you're still experimenting you might like to try the modeling clay thing. I'm sure you'll find it less messy than paint or ink, still resulting in consistent coloration. Black and brown give very good results if you're still after a dark color. An assortment like this will provide a...

Brad, A small amount of modeling clay can be added to two part putties when mixing. This is the cheap stuff kids use to play with, the colors will not be as vibrant in the putty mix as original but there will be color. Green Stuff as Manfred says is also a good alternative but it will change...

Mostly I'm with the guys that do belts and webbing before clothing though, sometimes-usually dependant more on mood than utility-I'll press in the location of these things while sculpting clothing adding the belts and stuff later. What I most favor though is to do belts first to establish waist...

Now that's pretty darn cool. Ray

Concerning Renarts’ post, I don’t personally see that much direct relevance to the topic in hand but, I don’t feel any need to criticize or insult him for having a different thought process from my own or his attempt at contributing to the conversation. On the contrary I’m inclined to applaud...

Perhaps, Nah. But that really wasn't the thrust of my post, rather it was more speculation on the relative speed and efficiency of each method than what will in time become most common. I still suspect that digital, all things being otherwise equal, takes longer to produce than hand sculpts...

The thing I wonder is how many digital sculptors are there that can go from concept to mold in under a week of free time-say 15-20 hours. This time frame is contingent largely on the complexity of the figure’s pose, scale and equipage, the pose I suspect has more consequence for the putty...

Anecdotally, most of the digital figure renderings I’ve seen to date-maybe not so many as to form a valid opinion-appear kind of lifeless and plastic, not at all like a real person. I mean who thought the special effects in the latest chapters of Star Wars was as good or better than the...

Anders, Beautifully done figure, like the other guys I'm eager to see him painted up especially the plaid. I don't know if it will be helpful to you or not but; I don't mix MS and GS separately anymore having found in a fit of hurry that they cure fine when mixed together. The mix I prefer...

Michael, I'd like to say cool idea, but won't as some might think it arrogant of me as I did my college thesis on marketing of miniature figures about 16-maybe 17- years ago. Mine was a little mores specific than your approach dealing almost entirely with direct marketing and payment method...

Martin, For my large scale work-1/35 and larger-I do most of the sculpting in Magic Sculpt straight, for smaller figures-1/48-I really prefer a Magic Sculpt Green Stuff blend. I don't mix the MS and GS separate anymore finding it an unnecessary step. The extra stiffness and rubbery consistency...

Marc, You could try this guy-http://scalefigures.com/-he has a large range of figures that should meet your description. The photo is of one of the latest though it has not been put into production yet. Could you give a more detailed description of the figure you are looking for or perhaps a...

Jamie, Per request a rear end view of this little man. Thanks for asking. Gordy, Thank you, I've always felt that there was a dearth of civilian figures in the market and that they are a sadly neglected subject. To my eye civilian figures can provide as much interest as military subjects as...

This one is a late 19th-early 20th century railway steam locomotive driver, also in 1/19th scale. He was inspired by a couple of pictures of a locomotive driver found in my collection though unfortunately I don't recall the exact railway it was the pictures are from, though it was an industrial...

Balázs, Thank you for looking and the comments, really appriciated. Hey, when do we get to see some more of your own work? Ray

Very nice little scene, looking forward to seeing it completed. Ray

Seems I took too long in checking for replies, so I'll just address them in a bunch. Thanks guys, it is very gratifying to have all of you look and especially comment on my work. Although I can't claim to have worked from a particular photo on this latest rendition of the 'leaning' man I did...
