Wow, that is nice! Thanks for the vote, Gary.

John...If you need boxart, I'd love to take a crack at it....

Matt
 
Thanks Quang but it is Maddox not me. In fact, I may have screwed up my part. We will see this weekend as I cut the mold.

Matt, check your email. I don't think I have your address so sent you one through the forum's facilities.
 
Wow... what a sculpture! Love the bust.
It is almost "too" good. :D

TS
 
Wow, That is one nicely sculpted bust. just how big is it any way? And when can I get one?
 
Quang, again not me. Dutch Allen suggested it.

Seth, I am not the guy to answer however, I think it started as Castilene but only as part of a recipe. I know that Jim has been frustrated by the Castilene he has been getting over the past few months and has taken steps to change it in some way.

CorySF, I show my ignorance here. IIRC, Jim said it was quarter scale. To me that means extremely big but, although it is large as you can tell by the hand, it is not one fourth of a head so I must have misheard or be misunderstanding something.
 
Whatever size it is John...it sure is a beautiful piece of sculpting...maximum realism for the face and a great expression..very nice indeed..!

All the best...Roy.
 
Excellent!!!
I love these big busts and this is no exception.
John, will you have this ready for sale at MFCA this May?
If so, I do believe I'll be stopping by your table to visit ;)
Great job guys,
Craig

Yes, I have heard that recent batches are really bad. A lot of people that I know have been changing to TMS wax. It's a blend that was made by a rather tallented guy called Ralph Cordello, If you want more details let me know and I will shoot you a link:)

cheers

Thats a fantastic looking bust, can't wait to see it painted. By the way, does anyone know of anyone who sells United Empires figures in the UK?
 
Steve,

No dealers in the UK and I am not adding to my list of dealers. In fact I have reduced them to 3-4 world wide. This piece will be available in about 3 months.

There are two dealers in Europe:

De Tara
Apdo de Correos 44
39470 Renedo de Pielagos
Cantabria
Spain

and

Offizin Honovere
Koppelweg 16
31275 Lehrte
