    Custom of the Week - 3/26/2012

    I couldn't resist swiping the group photo from Marketplace. This week the spotlight falls on Scott's lantern men. It takes a certain painting skill to make a bird look tough.

            Wow. This was a nice surprise after coming home from another crap day at work. There's just certain sculpts that lend themselves to my particular paint style, and these are among the list. Others paint jobs are considerably less successful. I'm kinda happy with the suits on these, but they are very difficult dressing these bodies cause I like a tight fit.

            Big time thanks for the recognition. Whenever I post something I have no idea if anyone is going to like it, so it's a treat when I can create something that generates some kind of positive response.
            I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

            If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                  Congrats Scott! Not surprised a bit. Everyone here should see his work in person. I was privileged to see it up close at the Cincy meet. He's an exceptional artist and a fantastic person. Congrats Scott!!! You and your wife remain in my daily prayers.

                    I haven't the slightest as to what Green Lantern characters they are, but man I love those head sculpts especially the bird like one. Reminds me of monsters from Ultraman

                      How could anybody not like these? They are insane! Sculpts and paints are A1, some of the best I've seen.
