A: As of June 5th 2007 a `Basic Paint` figure is the base color for all parts plus a single highlight but no middle tones or detail other than eyes,ebrows, lips buttons and hair. A `Custom Paint` figure has all the above in addition to middle tones,shading and some texturing,pupils and other details that bring the figure closer to life.

Q: What do you use to sculpt your figures?
A: As far as tools go, I use exacto knifes dental picks, small drills and drill bits, saws etc. For materials I use combinations of sculpty, paper, clay, wire and resin.
|
Q: Can I reproduce your figures and sell them myself?

|
|
Q: Do you ever plan on doing shows?
A: I`m a one man operated business at this time. I can`t afford to take the time off to do a show or afford the expense. My wife is retiring next year, and we are discussing the possibility of her doing shows. She`s more of a people person than I am :D
|
Q: Why don`t you sell your figures on eBay?
A: I use to, but the last figure I try to sell on ebay was taken off the page by ebay because I said `the opening price is the reserve price`. They told me I wasn`t suppose to reveal the reserve price. I explaned that there was no reserve price. They said I still couldn`t say that. I stopped selling stuff on ebay.

Q: Can I recommend a subject to sculpt?
A: Sure, I usually follow the topic Figures and Accessories on My large Scale Forum Page. If you put a topic asking about a specific subject I will see it. The criterea is; - The subject must have images and a bio available somewhere on the internet so I can review it.
- The subject must some how be associated with the railroad.
- The subject cannot be a copyrighted personalaity (unless you own the copyright and provide a license to me free of charge)
- The subject must be one that interests me. (I focus mainly on Hawaiian Railroads, Southern Pacific and Tennesse because I have spent a great deal of time in these places. If the subject is interesting enough, then I will consider them.

Q: Why do some of your figures only fit the Bachmann #455 RGS version?
A: Although it is a fine model, I do not currently own any of the Bachmann K-27 and Bachmann has never sent me specs on cab sizes and clearances. A customer reported to me that his figures fit perfectly in that particular K-27 and until I hear differently, I`m going to assume that`s all it fits.
