Yes, thank you for the updayes. I won’t be able to get one myself but I am enjoying being a bystander to the process.
Bugger and I had a huge fight tonight. I took a break and week off of scaling him. I wasn’t idle though and spent many hours combing the internet for reference photos to help my get an idea of how to scale out his wing fingers. I finally blended together some different lizard scale patterns in my head to get a good mental picture of what I wanted.
Well I started with one of the shorter wing fingers tonight and began scaling. No sooner had I finished three scales than His Royal Highness Bugger decided he didn’t like what I was doing. He didn’t want his scales done that way thank you very much! He really is a brat you know?
So after much frustration, choice word uttering and me at the brink of tears we finally reached a compromise. I would do it his way and he would behave.
Don’t tell him but I think his way does look better. But I DID NOT SAY THAT! And if you tell him I will deny everything.
Thank you guys and thanks for giving these books great homes. Now I just need 6,000 more homes and I will be done. lol 🙂
I loved watching the live stream. That was so fun! Thanks for putting up with us and showing the babies in progress.
Thanks, yes it is a very large amount of books. I have been listing more and more each day and can’t see that I have made a dent in my “population”. It is going to take me longer than I thought to find new homes for these treasures. At the rate I’m going it is going to take years! And it’s not like I’m slacking in the listing department.
I think the listing would go faster if I didn’t take actual pictures of each and every book (sometime two pictures) and just use Ebays stock photos. I just can’t do that though. I think it is important for the buyer to see the actual book they are bidding on. Especially with the same book having different covers.
….But last night I was looking at the height of the different pieces and it’s kinda short compared to mom and dad so I guess it might not be an adult like I previously thought.
Here is where I get confused. I am pretty sure of my guess until I read that there is a Mom and Dad. I can’t find any parents for the one I am thinking of making me wonder if I am on the right track.
Update! I found two “parents” for my possible guess! I think I have it figured out and I think I asked the correct question! WooHoo! I hope it gets picked now.
This is fun!
Ok I sent in my question. I hope if it gets chosen it’s the right question to ask. I would hate to be on the complete wrong track and blow a chance for everyone to get a better idea of the correct answer by asking about the wrong sculpt. I can only think of one sculpt it fits but I am new to Windstone so I might be totally un-aware of the other possible candidates.
Also, for those of you who ask for books (Thanks bunches everyone!) it helps if you let me know if you want hardcover or paperback. That way I know which pile to start looking in.
And with the paperbacks, I try hard not to break up a series if I have it. So if you are looking for just one, unless I happen to have it loose, i.e. not with the rest of the series, I would rather not break up a set.
Thanks everyone who has sent requests. I’m happy I could help some of you find the books you were looking for. Keep them coming. 🙂
Also doesn’t say if you’re willing to ship internationally. I live in Canada, so that would be good to know. Thanks Hun.
I have never shipped a book to Canada but if you are willing to hold my hand through the process I am more than willing to give it a go. Feel free to send me a list of any books you might be looking for.
Sorry about the link trouble. I think I fixed it. Let me know if it still doesn’t work and thanks for checking it out.

I am working on scanning all the books into a simple database so I know what I have. Problem is, many of these books are pre-ISBN or even bar code. And, some are so rare or obscure that the ISBN they have is not recognized by most programs.
So cute . Are you going to paint him when your done or leave him as is ?
Probabily not this particular one. I will have plenty of Little Buggers to play with once I get the mold made, so the “original” will stay unpainted in case I need to make another mold. But once I get to where I feel my painting skills are up for it I will likely paint him then. A paint job shouldn’t effect any future mold making if it is done well and thinly.
