Estimated, or average, or whatever.
How much would one expect to pay for average-good quality 15mm sculpts?
Say 5. Or 10. Or 20? I assume quantity effects price per piece?
Is green putty still the standard medium?
I recently commissioned a guy to sculpt some 1/2 scale car parts ('72 Duster Trunk, base (non shark tooth) grille, base hubcaps) and the grille for a '51-52 Ford F-1 Pickup (to convert '50 F-1 model to Sanford and Son Junk Truck. These were sculpted, then cast as prototypes so I could make cast copies. 100 bucks, but these were simple pieces, ones which I made myself first, from Sculpey as a test in like one hour (but the sculpey deformed during cooking, and its not good for mold making, so I hired a pro)
Obviously, figure sculpting is way more complicated.
My mold making and csting has gotten very good (doesn't hurt my Canadian Uncle owns Glue Products, a West Palm Beach company which sells top notch silicone mold rubbers and resins, and he heps me. He hand made a mold for ten foot high, 2 feet diameter, Aztec motif columns, and Aztec serpent gargoyles, cast in RMC, and he casted his 1911 in resin. Looks exact. He leaves it in plain view in the open glove compartment of his Denali, and carries the real one on him. He learned that from watching High Plains Drifter (the barber shop scene) Don't know why, but….
anyway, I can cast well. I want to make a small set of figures in 15m I will never find from sellers. Not thinking commercial venture (but I would probably make some for folks if they wanted them, in trade or something)
