Look a like
I spent the better part of last month working on stage figures and let the conversion end slide, however, my ebay store and www.gepettosworkshop.net now have a full selection of conversion vent figures at the best prices around!
I was asked to do a look a like of this gentleman in a full size figure. He wanted all the bells and whistles. I installed raising and lowering eyebrows, side to side self centering eyes,crossing eyes,blinkers and a spitter. Here is a picture of the outcome.

"Flied Lice"
I was contracted to make a full size figure from the propaganda pictures of World war II of a japanese soldier. After bantering ideas back and forth we took several pictures and created this guy. He is a 42 inch stage figure and he is on his way to Australia.
I found out after he was completed that he is for famous Australian comedian Rodney Rude.
Rodney is an Australian comedian and he lives up to his name. I am a sucker for off beat humor and this guy is a riot. I have added one of his jokes to the blog for anyone who wants to see it. Caution!!! Rodneys humor is definately rude!!!
