Hello, all!I just received 28 pounds of Chavant NSP clay in the mail, I have a Composite Effects "Joe Human" sculpting armature on order, and I've been studying Mark Alfrey's "Sculpting the Human Head" DVD very, very closely. I even bought four of the six exact sculpting tools he used to make the old man sculpture featured in that video because I LOVE the way he used them to refine smaller anatomic shapes.I've also stocked up on sponges, wire/loop/wooden sculpting tools, mold straps, and tons of other useful additions. I've bookmarked three instructional threads on EffectsLab for reference and ordered a second Mark Alfrey instructional DVD, "Standard Molds and Castings", for good measure. Everything's ready to go as soon as the armature arrives, which could be as little as 2 to 4 days from now. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /> With that said, is anyone here a fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera" musical? And if so, would any of you <b>seriously</b> consider buying an exact replica of Michael Crawford's portrayal of the Phantom? I am well aware that this project might not float around these parts, but I find myself absolutely obsessed with the design lately, and had to ask to make sure. I'd like to make it my next piece if enough people show interest on any of the collecting forums I visit: <img src=\"http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h98/MoonlitDevil/MC-awcrawfordmichael-auto001.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h98/MoonlitDevil/orig1rs4-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h98/MoonlitDevil/i119194499_2330_7.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />P.S. - <u>Please</u> don't reply asking me to make another Jason...Thanks in advance and cheers,Ryan
