Bust/Figure Recommendations - Figure Painting Class

[dfmoss]

I am a manager at a local hobby shop here in Memphis, TN, USA. Yesterday, I conducted a miniature figure painting class for some of our customers. We used a 28mm Reaper gaming figure as our subject. (I chose this figure because I made the mistaken assumption that most of the students were likely gamers.)

The class went well - but the figure was really too small to be the best painting subject for new painters. A larger figurer perhaps, or even better, a bust would be a better choice.

Does any company offer a fairly inexpensive bust for the purpose of teaching painting classes?

Thanks for your recommendations!

You could try the 3D items from Scale Collectables.
They come in 1/6th, 18th, 1/10th scale sizes, have many very recognisable characters, and are very reasonably priced.

Cheers,
Andrew

Thanks, arj! Their 1/6 head sculpts look like they might be just the thing!

We decided to go with the Scale Collectibles busts for our class. We placed the order last week and we already have them! Super fast international service and the busts look great!

Thanks for the recommendation, arj!

I agree with Nap, they're excellent quality, and there's a wide range for you to choose from.
Mark supplies a very good service.
