        Do you have an ETA on the Reptile?

          Not at this time. I still need to purchase and receive silicone rubber to make molds of the rest of the heads. With luck, this will be before the end of this year. I've been pouring resin casts of 'Old Buzzard' 'Professor Squid' and 'Beach Bully. Still trying to workout the bubble problems. The R&D continues. Thanks for asking.

            It happen today, I pulled one of each original three casts with minimal bubbles. I now can now offer (for MO transactions) 'Old Buzzard' 'Professor Squid' and 'Beach Bully' for $10 each plus postage. More to come.

                It's been a great year! Not only did I sculpt many original head designs, I learn mold making and casting.
                I gave myself the goal to have these castings ready by X-Mas 2012.
                Early concerns about my commissioned instructor, paid off with patience. His 'hands-on' teaching, made all these castings possible.
                I'm still learning! There is always room for improvement. My next two goals are to learn '2 part sillicone mold making' and making custom bodies and parts.

                  If you ever branch out into the DC Universe, I'd love to see a Superman based on Curt Swan' version of the Man of Steel

                    Have you ever seen the original Aurora model kit head? OMG, it's just what you are asking for! Now if only someone could rework it to fit a 1/9th Mego body (DrMego swivel arm buff body), then... maybe.

                      Well, you are doing well, the cast I got from you is great, and the sculpt is amazing. Love your style.

                        I think this version could be designed similar to Mego Falcon or Neptunian suits.
                        WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                          I really need to finish 'Elf-Prince'. He's been on a stick for quite some time. "So much time, so little to do...scratch that! Reverse it."
                          Thanks PNGwynne, I think I'm starting to understand.
                          Here's is a pic of 'the Reptile', 'Martian Warrior', and 'the Huntsman' on DrMego swivel arm buff bodies and 'the Ventriloquist' on a CTVT body.

                            Those look awesome! I just got the Frankenstein in the 9 inch scale and it looks AWESOME! The sculpt is beyond cool and the casting is perfect. Can't wait to get it on a body!

                              Truly impressive and inspiring work. Can only imagine how much better it was to have a teacher to help the learning process.

                                The best part of having an instructor, is the minimal waste of these expensive products (sillicone rubber, plastic resin). With all the information on mold making and casting available on the web, nothings better than 'hands-on' learning with the ability to ask direct questions.
                                So far, the customers have been happy with my products.
