I received my Ebob order a couple of days ago. Seven days from Great Britain, not bad at all, especially since I've never been overly impressed with the Canadian postal service.

Everything was present and in good shape.

Included in my order were some Ebob dollies. These are 28mm, partially filled out human forms, intended to make the posing and sculpting of miniature figures go a little quicker. All together, I had 5 of these. When I picked them up, I noted they were cast in a very brittle form of metal, probably white metal. Basically, little to no lead in them.

I tried, very carefully, to move them into a simple marching pose. I snapped limbs off three and put the rest back in the bag. Let's say I was a little irritated. I won't be using those in the future. They are supposed to save time, not create create more work for me.

I'm not sure now if I want to use them. I don't get casting a thing that should be bendable in non-bendable metal.

The alternative is to buy some different ones, maybe from Jeff Valent studios, or make my own. I'm inclined to make my own but this would require silicone and metal for casting which I don't have yet.

I've sculpted three complete figures to date. One of Kneadatite, one of Milliput, and one of Procreate putty. I'll post pictures later of all my work, two of which were a complete disaster, one was a passable figure for garden gaming with rocks for missiles.

I like Procreate the best. It mixes much quicker than Kneadatite, however, the time you saved from this is offset by the fact that it is so tacky after mixing that its difficult to use for a couple of minutes.

I like it because it is easier to push about due to being a little less rubbery. I like the gray color better than the green. Neither file very well.

I can see uses for both though.

I'll post again soon with some pictures and lessons learned from my infantile attempts to sculpt things.
