I’m probably one of the last holdouts for getting onto Facebook and finding out how the social networking and such works. I did finally join up last summer and muddled through the process, and have slowly but surely gotten familiar with things on there and the basics of how it works. One thing I really …
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If that is true, then a video must be worth quite a few more words, eh?!? My blog has had several pictures of the inside of the heads of figures that I have made. And many have let me know that they appreciate seeing these type …
Sometimes beginning figure makers get all hung up on thinking they have to do all rod control mechanics. They see some of the figure makers out there that do this style of mechanics and get it in their head that it is the only way to go, or the best way to go. They think …
In December of 2012 we had to temporarily halt production of our high quality cast dummy parts. We needed some time to catch up a bit here with our finished figure orders. Since that time we of course have had numerous people contacting us to see when they would be available again. We’ve made some …
I had written on Facebook, but I had not written here yet. My wife of 39 years (Cathy) tried to check out early on me last week. She had been in the hospital since a week ago Monday. We were told on Friday that if we had not gotten her in when we did, she …

She’s a good egg. She really is! But she has also taken a great fall. I hope they can put her back together again! Seriously, my wife Cathy, is a bit broken at the moment. A freak accident for sure. She was going out of the workshop last week, tripped, and while doing that little …
Top notch flight instructor, Larry Baily of Arizona, had us build a nice figure for him back in 2008, and named him ‘Max Mach’. He dressed him in a pilot’s uniform and the character that he developed for him was that of a retired airline pilot. Pretty cool. Here’s a nice pic of Max and …
A special story about a very special young man When I make figures for various customers, I don’t always know what will happen with the figure I’m sending out, if it will be used for performance, for fun, or in some special situations……., a noble purpose. As this particular Sparky was on my workbench, staring …
