Since you guys already found those first pics when you were not supposed to hehe, I might as well show you the updated version as well. So here is the update, with a few things tweaked and changed. Nearly finished now.

hmmmz on second thought...
On the last pic the left shoulder looks weird. Like it isn't attached to his body.

That's because it isn't attached haha

Both the arms will be separate components, and probably the top part of the head also. I have to do a little more work on the joins though, to make them more seamless.

Here's a pic with the components removed:

these will be metal, not resin correct?

Love it, just love it!:D

There are many different colour of putty, care to eleborate which different ones you've used?

yeah the minis are being cast in metal at the moment. I prefer resin personally, but metal is easier, being such a small range at the moment - resin costs more, because the moulds wear out much faster, plus there isn't really anyone who casts in resin here in australia. So for now I'll stick with the metal. The casts come out pretty well luckily - the two I've painted have been metal casts.

Skrit - well the main 2 putties I have used here are greenstuff and milliput, mixed together in different ratios - that's why it is so multicolour hehe. The more green the surface, the higher the greenstuff content - the more beige, the higher the milliput content. The grey hands are proCreate - I wanted to have a small experiment with it before I try it for the next mini I sculpt.
