It has been a while since my last update here, but I am finally back in the sculpting seat after taking December off ( a busy month at work and the dreaded xmas to deal with) from it. I have done quite a bit of work on the Rat Warrior, no photos as yet but the detailing on the helmet is the next thing i will be tackling, bulking out of the face is done more or less, I have added a beard, the helmet basic shape and some details are also done. It should look quite different from the original sculpt of "In the Shadows".
On a personal note, I have recently returned from a trip to London to celebrate a 60th birthday and also had a short holiday. Went to see a west end show, attended the London Boat Show at Excel and visited the Natural History Musuem which i have not visited since childhood. It actually turned out to be a very inspirational visit - the dinosaur displays were particularly useful as were some of the stranger mammals on show. So I hope to bring some of my photos into some sculpts this year. I will post a selection when they have been through a bit of editing.

NaNaNaNaNaNa BATMAN!!!!
A fairly productive week this week. A little bit of sculpting done on the wererat warrior. The main project for next week is a painting work in progress for the wererat assassin bust. Painting is well underway, first set of photos done ready for uploading and I'll try and get this put on the forums over the next few days - a little behind with it.
All of the Darkhand busts have been shipped out and some of you have already acknowledged receipt - thank you for that and I hope you enjoy painting them and post the results on CMON!
Main news is the latest sculpt which started as a little diversion. I have always been a fan of the fabulous superhero figurines that you can buy and some of the sculpts done on the superhero garage kits over on the Clubhouse forum. So Batman was probably the first superhero i came into contact with as a kid, with spiderman a close second so these guys have a special place in my heart. I decided to do Batman in the end - a bit more interesting costume wise. It is an approx 50mm size bust, but I am considering designing a very fancy attachment to a base piece, that will be top secret though. I hope to post some pics up shortly of the main bust. It took a mere 40minutes to get it to a nicely roughed out stage which i am pleased with and I think I have captured the look of him quite nicely.

All Gone!!
The final bust is now sold, so if anyone else would like one I'll make a list and when I get enough names on it I will order another batch.
No new pictures to post just yet, but the Rat Assassin ("In The Shadows" bust) is undercoated black and ready to start painting. I will tackle the leather hood first and then the mouth.

Good News
Hello people. I got a nice big box in the post today containing the castings of the assassins busts so they are now officially available, three have sold already, one is being swapped and that leaves me with one spare - contact me if you interested and I can always order more castings if required. The casts are real nice, with minimal mould line showing and little clean up required. Be sure to scrub them with some washing up liquid though to remove the mould release.The bust is priced at £17.50 and shipping costs are as follows:-
USA - £5.50
Europe - £5.00
UK - £2.40
All prices include insurance and are recorded delivery to be signed for. Please note, regular delivery is not an option for anything I send, especially given the recent strike action by Royal Mail.
On another note, I got a Rat Assassin bust as well to paint up so expect to see some work in progress shots over the coming weeks.

In The Shadows
I'm now back from beautiful Crete, and the not so Labryinthian palace of King Minos at Knossos. A fantastic place to holiday, I would have liked to have done more trips and travelled more across Crete, but that will have to wait until next time.
The Rat Assassin (Grott) is now available from Grey Matter Figures at the price of £22.50, great value for such a large bust. This piece is entitled "In The Shadows", and you may purchase here. I am still awaiting a quote on the Darkhand Assassin bust, hopefully some news on that later today.
The next piece on the workbench will be the next in the "Something From The Sewers" range of rat busts - the warrior. No proper working title yet! I will be doing some sculpting today, working mainly on bulking out the fur.
