\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /> I didn't really think my sculpture could stand up to a paintjob like that.To address the question of "Is Ryan offering anymore copies of this?", I've only sold 5 from the official run so far. However, I need to test the mold for one more pull before I officially call the project "done" because the thinner silicone between the lips ripped a bit as I was pulling out the last casting. With that in mind, I'm not sure how bad the damage will be on the castings...I'll just have to wait and see if I can fix each pull individually. If it turns out to be too big of a problem, then I'll just retire the mold and call it quits. I hope it doesn't come to that, though...I DO have one extra, *slightly* flawed casting that will need a TINY bit of epoxy putty repair due to some small air bubbles on its lower ear lobes that formed during the curing process, but it's a pretty nice pull otherwise. If anyone is interested, I will let it go for a bit cheaper than the price of the initial run. Send me a PM if you have <b>serious interest</b> and I'll provide a price and some good pictures.By the way, I appreciate the fact that you posted this, Tommy!! It's nice to finally see one of my customers do something with these and show off their work. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
