OK, folks - as requested, here's a Sneak Peek at the Robot and First Mate in progress. I'm not as happy with these two as the first two, but they're not bad. Once I get them based and their eyes painted (and give Leadfoot his antennae), they'll look much better.
For those who have asked, I make these with Sculpey III, and I really don't "sculpt" them - most of the shaping is done by hand (which is why some of their features are more cartoony than detailed - fitting, I think).
They stand about an inch or so tall, and their bases are 1.25" square. I do the body first, add the legs (both shaped by hand), then "mount" the figure on a base with a small armature for support. Then I add the arms, eyes, and any other features. They're baked on that stand, removed, paint details (if needed), then placed on their final base with a post for added support (if necessary).
