Claudio Setti: female maquette sculpting in oil clay...
Claudio Setti, is one of my heroes in sculpting.
I can't believe I missed this video the first time around. You can always learn something by just watching a pro at work. Here he used Chavant NSP medium for the sculpt.

Humble Indie Bundle 2
Other than sculpting, my other hobby is playing video games. Preferably at bargain prices.
This is an awesome bundle of indie games and you can name your price too. Get the games and give some charity while you're at it. I've already got Machinarium and it is a beautiful piece of indie gaming development with great soundtrack. I highly recommend it if you like old school point and click adventure.
You can see all the games lined up in the video. And get this, if you pay more than $7.51, you'll get the last year's Humble Indie Bundle too. The world of Goo is reason enough for a definite purchase. You'll also get Samorost 2, a point and click adventure game from the same developer as Machinarium. WIN!
So pay up (what you want, preferably more than $8) and game on!
There will be some major changes to be conducted in the blog next week. For all of you who waited for the Fire Nation Girls... well, at least you'll be seeing one of them.

Spirit Wing's Face Starts to Appear
Yet another great video by David Lemon. This time it's all about sculpting the face.
For beginners, it is essential to invest on a good caliper or compass. You don't need those fancy sets, a cheap one will do (but be careful, you get what you paid for).

A short video on how to attach the 'Wing of Ecstasy' Add-on kit on your SIC climax form Den-O figure.
Maybe I should post something about the add-on kit first... oh well.

Wing of Ecstasy Add-on kit is Finished!
My first S.I.C. add-on kit is finally complete!
The Wing of Ecstasy is an add-on kit for Bandai's S.I.C. Climax form Den-O figure that turn it from a regular Climax form into the Super Climax form. And the wingspan is bigger than the limited Chou climax figure too.
The wing design was inspired by the garuda and wing motifs found in the wayang kulit and batik tulis.
The kit shown is in the monochrome color scheme. The wings will be cast in clear blue and red while the body will be painted gold or silver.
Since I still pour the resin and cast by hand, there will be a limited copies available.
Pre-order will be open soon. Stay tune on Midztoyz for the details... after the Ied holiday.
Enjoy!

Introducing CeBe-R!
This is a DIY CeBe-R. A 2.5" DIY resin toy. I kinda wanted to make a designer toy of some sort so this is it.These are the first castings from the mold. I need to tweak the mold a bit if I wanted to make more of these little critters.
Now I need to make enough to custom and such. Some people tell me that this base body is a good start to make pets from Pet Society. Hmmm...
Still haven't decided to actually sell these or not.
Read more for a couple of group shots.

Blog 'reboot' and other stuff
Hiya all,
I'm going to 'reboot' the blog to give it some new life. It wont be drastic or anything. Essentially it will turning over a new leaf and re-energize myself to post more frequently (now that I have the time to spare).
I will keep my promises on those unfinished sculpt from way back when, but not at the same time.
There will also be new projects coming up, some are even available to purchase (!) by our overseas readers.
That's enough blabbering from me. Got to work on my new content.
See you all soon!
