I wonder how these would look with a quick application of wood stain...

Just cast and sell the whole things, I would be down to pick some up Me too! And by the way, where did you get the mini gear (swords, armor, etc)? Did you cast them or buy them?

The items in green are my own sculpts. The items that are gray are bits and pieces from Games Workshop. I could certainly cast the display cases and my own work for sale, but casting and selling the games workshop pieces would infringe on their copyrights.

depends on how much of a profit you wanna make, but before you go cassting and selling stuff you'd need to see if the cost would be worth it. after all... if it cost you a net fee of 20$ to cast a whole bunch and you want a 50% profit... you'd have to sell the whole stuff a bunch more. not to mention you should definitely charge the time needed to cast the stuff. so i think you'd be selling in the higher price range then need be. then again i haven't done any math, just doing random numbers here... overall, selling stuff is a big thing. many things to consider.
but i'd say one thing. if i was gonna buy some stuff from you... i'd buy one of each and cast the rest myself. your stuff is truly worth the effort. amazing works as always.

Those are gorgeous curufin! It's interesting because I was just looking at this thread last night!
About how much did each wine bottle cost in sculpey material? Thinking about trying sculpey if it isn't too costly.

Sculpey is dirt cheap. It might have cost 10 cents worth of sculpey to do all of them.

You can buy sculpey at any craft store. I believe you might even be able to find it at walmart.

There is a cheaper alternative to Sculpey, called "Craftsmart". I bought some to check it out and see if it worked. Sculpey is about $10 for half a pound, and this stuff is about $12 for a full pound. I did a couple test sculpts with it, and it worked fine. Sorry about the horrible photo, but the critter is pretty solid.

Just bought one and three-quarter pounds of sculpey original for $7.50 from Joannes with a 50% off coupon – normal price is $15. Can't wait to start Learning how to use this stuff. Sorry for the grammar I am on my iPad and using speech to text. It's so annoying.

From where did you acquire the mini weapons, armor, and boots?
