That board--blabbermouth.net, is a perfect example of rude and crude. I'm not a puritan by any means, but it seems that EVERY poster in this topic had to use the "F" adjective in order to show how cutting-edge-fitting-in he was determined to be.
Extremely boring and lacking in the impact that the "F" adjective supposedly generates. (NOT!) Instead I got a vibe of "pathetic" and "wannabee".
Oh, the Lemmy figure? I was in the action figure business for about five years...they need a Japanese sculptor, not the lame person who did sculpt Lemmy. Alternative is my old friend Paul Sciacca, who is the best "connected" action figure sculptor I've had the pleasure of knowing, and a pretty active figure on his own.

“I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did.”

I didn't know you'd done that Paul. You really are a man of many talents!
An old school friend of mine (Colin Batty) has done some work in the the model kit sculpting field. He also worked for Cosgrove Hall and did puppets for Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. We used to make Plasticene figures together as kids (he went on to make an Oscar-nominated animated short - The Sandman - and work with Tim Burton. I got to do a really boring office job. I think I went wrong somewhere!)
It's my "lost career" in a way, as it's something I would've loved to have done but which fell by the wayside. I keep meaning to get started and learn the ropes properly (more for myself than for anything else; I'm sure any skills I had wouldn't stand up now), but something always seems to get in the way. Personally I'm a big fan of Tim Bruckner, but I agree that many of the Japanese sculptors are fantastic.
