MABO excuse me for my slow reaction.
Thanks for sharing your valuable and very interesting information, though I understand its difficult to judge who is the sculptor of which figure.

This is painful to read but at the same time does not surprise me completely.
Isn't this a bit like how it happens in the tv and film industry?
Can you tel us why it was cut and smoothed by the producer?

It has been years ago that I had contact with Wolfgang. But as far as I know he made the figures so complex that the mold maker was not able to produce the figures with all the details. But maybe I am not able to produce the correct facts after more than 10 years. :eh:

Wow! I like the soft and delicate shades of colour too,
but I see them very different then most viewing this topic.
However with my limited colour spectrum I can still appreciate them very well.
Great stuff paints and brushes were made for. :thumbup: BB

Interesting point raised by Jan,( Mabo ) The complexities of Patterned Masters is something that often causes problems with those in the mould producing business,and often is the case detail work is therefore lost. Mainly I refer of course to steel or alloy moulds for plastic moulding machines,but most certainly using rubber to make spinning moulds has its problems too. BB
