HOLY. MF. CRAP. :shock: :shock: :shock:

I am continually amazed at the level of artistry that graces these pages. Speaking as a mere kit-basher/paint thrower, I am in AWE of someone who has taken his skills to a level of ability allowing him to sculpt something this amazing.

This will be the masterpiece of a lifetime! Look forward to seeing its progress!!!

How big are the figures? 12"?

Pat, do you do commissions? I have been wanting to do a 1/6 scale head of a particular old time entertainer so I could use it for an action figure customization for the longest time PM me if that is something that you might be interested in. Thanks!

Thanks everybody :D
Update :wink:
Still many many things to do, but it's going well, i think. I placed them roughly together to see how the final thing will look.
