Note: For the time being, this page will contain some of both the Q&A and some tutorials previously posted in the old forum. As I get more caught up with other parts of the site, I will start to convert these subjects from 'Post' form to Web Page form. More subjects will also appear as time goes on. They will eventually be broken down into categories, with the Q&A in a separate area from the tutorials. For now, I'm working to make them available as quickly as possible.

From here you'll find answers to sculpting & casting questions, articles on the creation process, demos by some very skilled artists, 'How To' tutorials, material and tool information and lots more.
