Prehistoric animals by Robert

I have a friend Robert. He is collector too but... He is really good in "makeover"ing his figures :) He asked me to upload some of his pieces and wants to know what you think? He´s not so good in english so... I´ll translate your opinions to him :)

Very nice collection of extinct mammals, I especially like the Pelorvis species you have represented. Congratulations on the new figures they add some incredible species to your collection.

They are AMAZING

Gosh, there are so many great extinct prehistoric mammals !
Your friend is very gifted, and his choise of models is fanatstic

I sincerely hope that CollectA and Bulllyland could see these and get some inspiration

Wow Your latest ones are incredible, congratulations Martin, your friend is truly talented. I love the Pelorovis oldowayensis, the horns are so good

Martin tell your friend that he's an artist!
I really like all of them, specially the brontoterium and the woolly rhino.

Kubanochoerus gigas horn is beautiful!!

Yes, you're true. I like a lot that custom figures
Can you ask him how join parts of different animals? Does he use any epoxi resin maybe?

Most epoxy resins are liquid or gel when you mix them, so they don't hold the form very well. I would guess he uses an epoxy putty, that works like clay and hardens as you work with it. I have used this type of material for changing the pose of several Schleich figures such as the pair of male kudu that I have.

When you mix the two parts together it is very soft and a little sticky at first, as time goes it hardens and becomes very good to shape and sculpt but over time begins to get very stiff and eventually gets to be rock hard where you can no longer manipulate the material so you have a time limit to be finished with whatever your project is or you sculpt smaller parts at a time. They make several different setting times, the one I use is 2 hour working time and fully cured in 6 hours, but some others are quicker and I know of one the takes 24 hours to cure.

Hello Phil, that's what I want to say. I use this epoxy clay:
