These are really great, you are very talented.

Thank you so much! When I showed the two recent ones to John, he said I shall sell them online and make a fortune ;)

Hello!
If you don't mind saying, what kind of paint do you use on your figures? Do you have to use primer first, or some kind of sealant afterwards? I have some I want to fix.

Your work is great!

Of course I don't mind! I also had great help of others when I started.
I live in Germany and buy my paints from a shop where they also sell models for planes or ships. It's enamel paint and looks like this:

Tiny cups, approx. 3 cm high.

I admit I am too lazy to use primer, not sure if it would be necessary. If one coat of paint is not enough, I just put another on till you can't see the original color anymore. I also don't use any primer. I think the paints are made so that you don't need one.

Do you have such a crafty shop nearby, surely they can answer your questions better? One thing to look out is - there are two kinds of paints, some are flat/dull (not sure about the right translation) while others are shiny. You would not want to use the shiny paint on your figures, as it makes them look odd, especially when photographed with flash. So look for the other kind. And I guess it would be the same if you put any sealant on it afterwards, so the idea never even occured to me.

Milliput is a clay which can be formed and hardens after a few hours, it also can be cut etc. after it's hard. It looks like this:

It comes in different colors and graininess but the white one is the best and finest.

Well, hope that helps somehow, if you have more questions, I'll do my best to answer them! And good luck, and let's see your crafts somewhere ;) I'm always interested in the work of others.
