Gallery update

I don't usually post gallery updates here, but I had a couple of pieces this
time around that are actualy appropriate for this list.

I've just gotten photos of two prototype pieces I am working on, a space
jellyfish and amoebae. They are cast in transparent resin with some of the
detail bits inked.

Believe it or not I was out at that web site today I think. I went through a
fair number of gallery figures. Pretty nice!

Recognized the Jellyfish - thought it was maybe for an underwater
scenario - *very* nice.  An amoebae! (smacks forehead) Of Course! That's
what that was! Duh on me. Interesting color scheme. I will have to go back and
look again. Now that my 1K organic CPU has the item identified...

Nice figures. Looked at the female figures for sale. Very nice but currently
am looking for more demure figures for scenarios (assuming I find the money
for them) since I have a fair number of 1970's warrior women types and um,
'...vixens...' from my FRPG days as a DM.

Thank you!

It certainly could be, though I have to admit I hadn't thought of that until
someone else mentioned it.

...or bad sculpting on my part?

There are far too many of those types out there, and usually not enough
"normally clothed" females. Most of my trades are things I either dont' like
or don't need anymore, hence the abundance of odd figures.

You're welcome!

No, my problem; now that I know, it's more them obvious.

I have a ton of 'unusual figures from bulk buys at the semi-annual shop
flea market - see a few figures you want and some okay ones plus junk -
get offer of $50-10 for a half shoe box of figures, I usually take them.

Maybe I need to advertise some of these - if only I 1)knew what they
were or 2) had a camera to shoot pictures up close I would probably make many
people very happy. <grin>

As for female figures, I found adopting two girls from India (my two previous
kids are young men now) has accelerated my changing attitudes
about using '...vixen...' figures - I still do but it is when I think it
would be appropriate for the scenario. Of course modern and future setting
scenarios allow a lot more latitude then Victorian settings...
