John, that Iron Man is coming along great! Keep us updated.

Jodi, Wow!
All your stuff is great. It really shows that you enjoyed working on all the figures. The Star Wars stuff is amazing. And seriously, packaging? Wow.

You probably can tell that I'm partial to the animated Batman figures, so you know that I'm lovin' yours. (That Victor Freis is inspired) Well done!

Looks like Victor needs someone to spring him from the clink.
Like Grant Walker from the episode 'Deep Freeze.

Etrigan and Jason Blood from 'The Demon Within'
The Demon has a real cloth cape! One of my favourite pieces.

Lars I love your animated Batman stuff too, that is such a great action figure line, they have such a nice look to them.  I love the Clayface. The movies in that series are so enjoyable to watch.

The Demon is excellent, amazing job!

John, do you use regular Sculpey or Super Sculpey?  I've never had good results from the regular, but the Super works pretty good for me.

Jodi, your customs are amazing.  Got any more?

Cap makes for a fine paperweight.  This one, not so much:

Steve:  I use Super Sculpy -- regular Sculpy crumbles horribly after baking . . . it comes out too chalk-like after baking.  Super Sculpy cures much closer to the plastics used for action figures.  Nicer to sculpt with before it's cured, too.

Super Sculpy firm is now available in gray blocks -- I am using the older Super Sculpy that's beige / fleshtone.  It's hard to see details while sculpting the beige; details show up much better with a gray sculpting medium, which is why gray is now available. 

In order to make my own gray Super Sculpy, I mixed in 1/4 of a block of Sculpy III black and 1/4 block of Sculpy III white (the smaller blocks, like in the images Jodi posted on page 1 of this thread) with one full-size block of the Super Sculpy beige (the large-size package, using the whole box); I chopped it all up into small blocks, then mashed it together a bit at a time with it with my hands (my daughter had fun helping me with this).  Then I ran it all through my pasta machine (my wife's actually -- NOT one we use for cooking, though; it's dedicated to craft stuff only) until it was well-blended, then I formed it all into one large block and stored it in a zip-lock baggie to keep it from drying out.

Jodi/Lars:  REALLY nice stuff -- you guys do great work!
