Oil Washes on Vinyl?
I'm building up the ol' Screamin' Leatherface vinyl kit. My question is, obviously enamels are a no-no, but can I use artist oils, diluted in oderless spirits without having a nondrying/curing problem. Specifically i would be using Turpenoid.

Tho I can't find it in my saved links, and despite a 20 min search for it, can't seem to locate it. Would someone be so kind as to remind this fool where that lin...

Re: Spider-Man - 1/4 Scale
Jeebers!!! While this is likely my fave spidey sculpt i have ever seen, that is so far beyond any remotely comfortable price range. Ugh. I would say, $350 would likely be pushing it. But, thank you so much for letting me kno. Ugh!! I love this piece. Once again, hats off to you lucky fellas who were...

Re: Lunar Legacy
This turned out very nicely. Great job all around. Nice work with the WScenics materials, and big fan of the ceramic tile. Did the kit come with a nameplate or did you have that made? If so, were and how?

The whole piece is absolutely amazing, but that statue looks mindblowingly well rendered. George, would you share a few words on what supplies/materials or how you were able to accomplish such fab work?
