Didn`t realise you even cast your own wheels for the batmobile!
I find it amazing that you guys can sculpt pretty much anything, paint and even build cars from the ground up! and yet you do it all to such an amazingly high level, massive respect is due http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d9/mefoetoes/smilies/bow.gif

I get the distinct feeling that there is virtually nothing you guys are afraid to tackle or are unable to do - to a high degree of excellence!!! truly inspiring!

some people vcan get it right off , it takes me a few times till I'm happy.

hey Bobby c,i'm hoping your joker bust will make an appearance soon!:)

i final got to watch TDK yesterday and wow,it was perfect as was jokers performance...gave me goose bumps in curtain scenes!!

A two face bust from the film would be great if you tried it!?

i would love a joker bust with him laughing so you could see his yellow stained teeth!

all the best:thumbs2:

[TOM S.]

I was just wondering what your preferred clays are for sculpting the busts,costume details, automobile body panels etc. And I agree that a TDK Harvey Two-Face would be pretty cool as well!

Historically we've always used Chavant, but there has been a number of formula changes over the years. I miss the older J-525 that we used on Bob C's car.

You guys rock! I can't wait for the TV series to start!

Thanks for the info. J-525 is still available isn't it?
