Hi Gérard!
I don´t know what is the right word for what you are doing here... stunning... incredible... unbeliebable... magnificent... WOW...
I really like the figures, an amazing job!!!
I don´t know what be the final landscape is going to be like, but I think that if you keep it simple, it is going to highlight the great movement of the figures.
Keep going I follow you!!!

You figures are terrific, the guy with the pointy hood and hands in pockets is me last Monday morning arriving for work! Very realistic poses.

Is the cover of the Breda made by using Miliput? Or paper based? Amazing work. That is all I can say. Keep up the great work.

Cheers,

Fantastic job with the figurs. They got that pose that almost makes you feel the cold. Great blog!

Hey Gerarddt, Absolutely fantastic sculpting job on your figures, something I have not tried yet, maybe one day.The mule looks the part very well.Nice thick coat and looks not only stubborn but ticked off that he's out in the cold instead of in a warm barn. The story is clear and to the point. Well placed on the base which looks great so far too. Will have to keep up on your progress as you go along. I'll give you a definite thumbs up for this one.

Hi Gerard,

The dio figures are coming along really well.

The other project aka the Canadian motor cyclist looks excellent. Love the detail and the boots are terrific. As always outstanding workmanship.

Cheers

Hey Gerard

Awesome work, following closely and learning lots.

How'd you make that belt buckle on the motorcyclist? Doesn't look like sculpey or milliput.

The buckle is made of a thin copper wire

Thank you all

I have been looking into using sculpey for some of my own projects and I hear you should glaze it after you bake it but before you paint it. Do you do this? Have you ever heard of this?

Also I hear acrylics should be used although no reason is given. Do you know of any adverse affects of using enamels?

Thanks for any help you can offer. Hope you can get back on this dio soon.

Sculpey reacts to the hydrocarbon solvent therefore enamel paints.
I prepare before painting with a layer of acrylic (Tamiya fine surface primer). After that there is no problem to use enamels or oil.
