Definitely give it a go. The only thing I wish I'd done differently is to build a better underlying support structure for the arms and legs -I'm having a problem with them breaking and have had to re-glue them a couple of times.Looks great mate, think im going to give it a bash to

Well, the last day has been a little challenging. I'm not sure if I have a bad can of primer or if there was a reaction between the Sculpey and the primer, but either case, blah. The primer went on and stayed tacky. Ultimately I had to sand most of it off and then "baste" the piece with baby powder to get it workable again. The net result is I couldn't get to the type of finish I was looking for before paint.
The solution? I figured I just airbrush the entire piece with yellow acrylic paint and do clean-up from there. Course, once I started painting I couldn't stop (heh, heh). So, this is not the final paint job -some of my brush work is a little substandard and I still need to do clean-up/sanding but...
I like it!
and the pics...
The eye took about 5 tries. Overall I'm pleased, but I bet I can still do it better.
