Back From New York, New York!!

Well the family and I just returned from "The City That Never Sleeps" and Brother that is the TRUTH!! There is something always going on, at every miniute of the day, everyday!
The nice thing about New York is that there is so much to see. You can catch a "Yankees" Game go to the theater, grab some great food and visit the different walks of life from up town (Harlem, the upper east side, central park) to time square and then down town (Chinatown, little Italy, the village and ground zero). New York has really changed throughout the years and for the better. The city is still very busy and crowded , but the people are really nice. The stereotype is that New Yorkers are rude, but nothing can be further from the truth.
As you can see I have two teenage boys. If you know teenagers, then you'll know that if they aren't having a good time then they will let you know it! As you can see in the photo they are both having a wonderful time, and who wouldn't eating a pastrami on rye at the Carnagie Deli!!

Ready For Production!!









Here is Mr. Addison's head complete and ready to head to the molding and casting room. As you can see t in the pictures, the mouth has been omitted. The mouth will be molded and cast separately.




































Mr. Addison will be the second in a small line of figures I will be producing. I'm planning on going to Vent Haven next year with my figures for all to see!!

In The Works?!?!



Here's a guy I started working on Some time back, but he was shelved due to other commitments. I have been thinking of finishing him and possibly make him a stock figure. What do you folks think? Is he good enough to be a stock figure?

Let me know!

Updating an old Favorite!



Sometimes I like to go back and redo a few thing that might improve the looks of my figures. Sometimes it's just smoothing things out or filling in imperfection. The reason I do this is so when I make a new mold it will make the finishing process easier and faster. As you can see in the pictures, the mouth has been omitted in the head. This allows me to simply cut along the edges of the mouth Area and then the separately cast mouth will slide right in place.



Stay tuned for further progress of this and other figures.
