[@Alexander1868]

Fantastic!

[@AGMetcalfe]

nice work on this. Did you pin or magnetize the cape?

[@TonyMicilotta]

The cape hooks into the torso beautifully so it just hangs in place 🤩

[@dianagrigorian266]

Hello, I would like to know what Spray Company did you use for the vanish / finish stage?

[@TonyMicilotta]

I make my own satin finish by mixing pledge multi-surface wax (previously known as future floor polish) with a bit of Vallejo matte varnish. I'll use a bit more matte varnish for the clothes but I never use it on its own as the finish tends to be a bit chalky

[@drolsisusej100]

Great job! , where do you recommend to buy paintable figures ? And is there a special name for them

[@TonyMicilotta]

Matt Eastman Thank you! They are called resin kits and I would recommend taking a look at statueforum.com

[@yowgiaoart5630]

Can I use normal artists acrylic paint for a sculpture like this? Thank you

[@TonyMicilotta]

Giao Yow Art yes, I use FW Acrylic Ink but clear coat the model with a varnish when it’s completely dry.

[@yowgiaoart5630]

Tony Micilotta thank you 🙏🏻

[@kaluznyjulian5412]

[@TonyMicilotta]

kaluzny julian I got it from statuetopia ; they don’t have a website anymore but you might be able to find them elsewhere online

[@kaluznyjulian5412]

@@TonyMicilotta okey thank you very much Tony 😊

[@davidleesfunandamazingvide2759]

Could Blue tack be good for masking?

[@TonyMicilotta]

David Lee Tibble I found blue tack to be really sticky so it’s a bit difficult to work with as it sticks to the tool, and it can also lift the gloss coat off

[@juanbonilla4989]

Can you help me on info on how to get an unpainted/painted statue , thanks

[@TonyMicilotta]

Juan Bonilla sure, do a search for statuetopia on Facebook

[@nanocastmanutd]

How many reisn does a statue like this needs? (Full body 1/4 scale) Thanks.

[@TonyMicilotta]

nanocastmanutd I weighed it when I first received it and it weighs 2.6kg... it’s solid so it is heavy!

[@gabrieledivittorio3323]

great statue..could you tell me the cost? thanks

[@TonyMicilotta]

Gabriele di vittorio I paid $400 + shipping for the cast (which is solid high quality resin) And yes, it is a great statue for sure!!

[@gabrieledivittorio3323]

Thank You So Much!!!

Superman is not oriental, nor is he french, so....black hair is wrong!!!! Brown!!! Brown!!! GET it? I am an 81 year old portrait artist. I know color.

[@washaa]

Have you read the comic though? Superman is an alien, not Caucasian.

[@corwinwarren7621]

Superman has always had squinted eyes, kind of a running gag for those who get it. His hair is black ....always. From day one the cover has supes with black hair and another guy in the foreground with brown hair to avoid color confusion. i have been a professional artist for over 25 years.
