Default Camera man

I'm confused, did you sculpt and pour these two pieces yourself? Are they going to be available for sale or is this a private collection?

i can understand your confusion. the camera is an amalgamation of separate camera pieces cut shaped then glued back together, finally molded and resin cast. the base was cast separately from a sign with the top removed. the middle section was a nylon spacer i used to reinforce the thin resin cast sign pole. the figure was not sculpted but once again modified from two figures. so far this was just an exercise in casting, i don't think there is much of a market for them. since my track is retro
i've got a spot for them.

Default Retro is In

Yeah, the layout I am creating is 1960s era and he would fit in perfectly. So, like the gentleman before me, I too would love to add a few.

ok. i guess i will make some more. only one problem i'm headed to ireland to watch notre dame play navy and my brother's team hamilton play a cali team in football. then the tour of ireland with a lot of pubs and castles. so i won't be available or sober enough to do these right away. i will try to get them done before september ends. i will give notice on this post, and list them as a buy it now on ebay. let me know if this works for you guys also let me know if you want them painted. i will make a second listing for the painted ones.... they will be a little more pricey.
