With the japanese toymaker connection i'm all kinds of intrigued to put out my own figure in japanese vinyl but with all the costs in the back i'm getting also quite picky of what i wanna do! CRAP!

So i decided to sculpt away with some different concepts in mind and so here is a peak on #1 of a series of little ladies:

Ragazza P! (a little node to my super underused character Ragazza Pipistrello - that you can find at the end of my gallery - so, waaaaay back :D)

This here got a cute little button just roughly over 5" tall with articulated arms and waist.

material: Castilene & Willow Zen wax mixture and primer + gloss spray.

She's a beautiful sculpt, Ralph, tough but cute! You've lovingly detailed the best stuff; seams, ribbed cuffs, her cutie gym shorts piping! 4"? Amazing talent!

My imaginary ruler is weak! I think it's more likely 5 inches (a whiff taller than a Ninja Turtle figure) and i must say the larger the sculpt the harder is it to get it right - tinier works sometimes much better. It depends!
Thanks man!

Argh, I wish i knew how to do this. It looks so amazing! Reminds me a lot of stuff by :iconbruzzer:, but I think that'd due to a latent MoTU vibe :3

It's maybe because me and Alejandro are splitted twins :D
and the howto is quite a thing that's easy to explore: best book right now out there is POPSCULPTURE - you may find a good deal for it on your amazon website! But there's also tons of websites for this matter out there.
MotU is engraved in my body and soul :lol:

Thanks for the reference - I'll look it up :D

I think my only issue may be getting some of the materials here!

yeah, i could imagine some stuff is hard to come by but therfor is something like the internet :D
But i remember your country being also one crafty production country and i think it should be not so tough to get this stuff. willowproducts.com sends out also samples for a nice low price, so you can test the waters with that material, but then there's also a myriad of other stuff out there: airdrying clays, 1:1 epoxy compounds that harden after 2-3 hours (f.e. Apoxie Sculpt avesstudio.com ((ask them in an email if there's maybe a distributor in or next country = good stuff for costuminzing toys)), magic sculpt is almost same as Apoxie, some fishing/angler stores have also some very nice stuff to work with - goes by the term of "plumber epoxy"), ovencure 'clays' (super sculpey), and waxes that are good for sculpting and have to be molded & cast then.
