Having the busts be a cheaper learning tool or examples for teachers to use in their classes was Julie's original intent when she sculpted the busts. This was never really explained in any of the Kickstarter text, If it had been included in the description, I think they may have sold better.

Wow! That's a lot of work. Great paintjob, especially love the glowing eyes. Julie

No Siri, the dual function of the wall was never mentioned before today, as a matter of fact I had to clear it with Ron to post about it here since the Hakir stuff had only been teased up to this point.

The two sides of the wall are just meant to give the players a thematic choice. Either the "normal" or "evil" side could be used, depending on your game.

For those of you who don't like the skeletal sarcophagus on the wall, remember that the wall has two sides and is reversible. Bob

Don't worry Siri, she hasn't stopped doing Dragons ( check out the 2 new wyverns in Bones 6), she just had other assignments for this Kickstarter. You should see the one she currently has on her desk 🙂

I don't know how well the busts did in the last Kickstarter, we do not have access to sales figures, and we weren't able to get copies to see how they turned out. I think Julie took a lot of unwarranted flack for those things. It would be fun to see what she would do if left to her own devices. Bob

The original bust concept was for easily cast, affordable starter busts for the instructors to use in their painting classes, specifically for blending and painting hair. They were never intended as high end sculpts, just affordable busts so painters could branch out and try something new and fun without spending a lot. I don't believe that concept was ever covered in the Kickstarter text. Bob

Looking really great, I especially like what you are doing with the horns. Looking forward to seeing it finished. Julie (greenusers on Twitch)

When Ron and I talked about designing this set, we thought it would be fun to add some "bonus" victims. I sculpted them just to be extra elements, they don't actually have a designated spot on the kit. The slot they are attached to helps with the casting. They are designed to either lay around or hang from wherever you want. Hope this helps, Looking forward to seeing what people do with them. Bob

If you are looking for a cheap set of starter sculpting tools, check your local Fry's/Kroger grocery stores, or one of their affiliates for these. It's a manicure set, but the tools could be useful for light sculpting and conversions. The current retail is 2.00 usd,, found in the seasonal section.

Derek, that is absolutely beautiful. You always make my sculpts look good.

Beautiful paint job and wonderful freehand. In response to Krassling about the pose of the mini: The pose comes from the Pathfinder book cover, Julie Guthrie, Bobby Jackson and I were asked to recreate the Iconic cover of the two characters fighting the Red Dragon. Bob

I was asked how the Treasure of Blood Reef resin figure goes together since the octopus doesn't have an integrated base. Ron wanted the octopus as a separate piece so it might be a bit confusing. Three tentacles interact with the pirate figure. The highest tentacle on the right curls over the treasure chest and the highest tentacle on the left curls over the pirate's right shoulder. If you put it in that position, there is a third tentacle that should butt up against the pirate's left boot. Of course you can assemble it any way you want, I would love to see what you decide to do with it.

It looks like this year we will be teaching basic putty classes, 2 "Sculpting Details" and 2 "Sculpting for conversion and repair". I also will be teaching a "build a scenic base" class. At this time it doesn't look like we will be teaching any advanced classes like the Sculpting Armor or Dragon relief class. Ridolfi
