A: As of June 5th 2007 a `Basic Paint` figure is the base color for all parts plus a single highlight but no middle tones or detail other than eyes,ebrows, lips buttons and hair.

Q: Why don`t you sell your figures on eBay?
A: I use to, but the last figure I try to sell on ebay was taken off the page by ebay because I said `the opening price is the reserve price`. They told me I wasn`t suppose to reveal the reserve price. I explaned that there was no reserve price. They said I still couldn`t say that. I stopped selling stuff on ebay.

Q: Can I recommend a subject to sculpt?
A: Sure, I usually follow the topic Figures and Accessories on My large Scale Forum Page. If you put a topic asking about a specific subject I will see it. The criterea is; - The subject must have images and a bio available somewhere on the internet so I can review it.
- The subject must some how be associated with the railroad.
- The subject cannot be a copyrighted personalaity (unless you own the copyright and provide a license to me free of charge)
- The subject must be one that interests me. (I focus mainly on Hawaiian Railroads, Southern Pacific and Tennesse because I have spent a great deal of time in these places. If the subject is interesting enough, then I will consider them.
