Craig:

Thanks for taking so many nice pictures. There are some real inspirational pieces in there. The paint job alone on the Japanese Kimono is mind blowing! I can't even fathom doing something 1/10th that intricate. Hats off to that painter!

Thanks again. So, did you have a good time?

Talk to you soon.

John

Picture #553, the Pegasso Mexican gunfighter, was done by my friend and clubmate, Herb Forgey. The backdrop is all scratchbuilt and there is water seeping through the planks of the boardwalk! There are flattened and painted brass wires as decorationon the hat.
Thanks for posting, Craig. I let him and the other figure guys know his work was posted here.

Hi Craig. javascript:PasteSmiley(':-H')
Great pics. Thanks for sharing them.
On a different note. I finished the curing box this weekend. Will post some pics of it later. I ran a temperature test using a sixty watt bulb and it leveled out at a constant 110 degrees.
Definitely not a fire hazard. Thanks again for the inspiration.
