Your faces really are top notch. Your dwarves are my favourite miniatures.

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Thank you very much! Faces can be very challenging and I worked very hard to make them come out this way.

[@TalentHouseAd]

Amazing work!!! everytime I watch your videos I get the itch to sculpt!

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Awesome! Hope you’re scratching that itch.

Thank you for all your excellent videos. They have given me the confidence to start by doing conversions on 1/72 scale figures starting with replacing arms, adding saddles etc. Greenstuff is tricky but I did learn my fingernails can be useful tools for creating edges and pulling masses to straighten out things. Have you ever tried using jewelers tools like a millgrain edger for doing geometric patterns? If it's firm putty and doesn't stick I would imagine it would work a charm. Thanks again for all the helpful advice sir. You're a good teacher. I'm retired for a decade but Gesswein used to sell a good selection of jewlers tools.

That's great David! I've used various tools over the years including some jewelers tools. Never a millgrain edger though. It sounds like that tool would work great though. Thanks for the kind words as well.

Jesus Christ I made the mistake of doing a fur hood....on a giant conversion. I spent more time poking out fur tufts I think just for that small section than I did on any other part of the conversion, including new arms and an entire hand.

Yeahhhhh. Textures on a large area just take time. No way around it. At least it gave you LOTS of practice :)
