I take my hat off to ANYONE who takes a stab at sculpting and casting their own figures, and if that's a first attempt then I'm even more impressed.

I'm thinking maybe the hands are a little large? But that's meant purely as an observation and not a criticism, because I wouldn't even know where to begin.

Great job Andrew, and thanks for sharing your work.

I would like to try my hand at figure sculpting, but can't get over the fear of failing or messing it up, you've taken the leap and come out rather successful, my hats off to you. I especially like the running figures, well done.

I have been bashing kits for 35 yes 35 years and I could not produce anything as good as these figures. Do not cry yourself down they are excellent, continue the good work mate, I have found on this site that nobody will denigrate your work but will offer constructive ideas to improve your skillbase take the tips and grow from strength to strength. great work I am jealous
