Love him! Are you going to have him on display in your home? 

Oh, yes I do!



I gave away some figures ... but you can see that I keep most of them on a shelf where they pile up ...

that's brilliant, and I really appreciate all the pictures and discussion of how you got the various details just right.  It has a really great polished finish, what do you use for that shine?

That answer gives me a little headache right now. 

I used glossy varnish by Eberhard Faber http://fimocreations.jimdo.com/tools/varnishing/.


Because I was running short on it I got the gloss varnish by Staedtler - this company took over the fimo section ... and what shall I say?!
This got more to do with water than with varnish.
I did complain to the company, but still have to send them this little glass.

As far as I experienced this product I have no idea what I´m going to do if the bottle is empty ...

Sooo sweet! Amazing work! I was about to ask what your glaze was when I saw that the previous person just asked. Well, yay for you!
