Hi,

I've been thinking a lot lately that I'd like to try my hand at sculpting 10mm and wonder if anyone here can advise me of commercially available dollies/armatures in 10mm.

Looking around the net I've only found 20mm - 28mm, are 10mm ones out there or is it a case of grabbing a paperclip/wire and going down the DIY route?

cheers

Ry

I believe leon can hook you up with that, i think he did the same for vulpine?

Leon

We've got some basic dollies which Techno did for us a while back, which he uses for the Ancients and Falkland's ranges.  You'd be able to use them for having a go on, but you wouldn't be able to knock up any sculpts and then sell them to the opposition!   :D

OOOh, that'd be nice, where do I sign?

It'd be great if I could have a few, if anything resembling a human results from it you can have them to do with as you wish as I've no desire to aid the opposition/enemy/heretics.
I've got an order being processed made up of paints and figs, any chance you could throw them in the package and just add the cost to the bill?

If you've got any more lying about Leon, can I have some more too.. :)
I'm running out of some of the poses.

Ry.....Be warned that when I made these, I made them a fraction on the 'chunky' style to make it easier for them to be cast.
So.....Before I actually start working the putty on them, I usually grind them down here and there a fraction with the Dremmel.....Mostly the calf 'muscles' and the chests.
