I can't wait to find the pants so you can see his entire suit. His sleeves have a lot of topstitch detail and even come with snaps because they have real working vents...and his pants have embroidered front pockets and embroidered leg pockets, too...Those who look outside dream.

My question is this: Over on the potaDG, I seen where you said you used nail-polish remover to remove the other two paint jobs. That said, I'm wondering what kind of paint you used, acrylics or something else? I ask because I have a couple heads I think I want to repaint and was wondering about the best way to revove the paint. You can answer here or PM me...Comment

Maybe there is a better way than nailpolish remover, but it was the only thing I had in the house at the time. I didn't soak the head in it because I was afraid whatever the cast was made of would disintegrate and the sculpt was too beautiful to ruin. I am a newbie to this stuff so maybe it was not the right thing to do and it's very unconventional but it worked for me with a lot of elbow grease involved. Whatever the nailpolish remover did not remove (like the deep crevices near the eyes), I picked the paint off with a very sharp bamboo toothpick. I only used cheap acrylic paint.Those who look outside dream. Those who look within awake.
