Well, without the aid of a pressure pot and using chemicals that were at least six years old, I was able to pull most of one complete Scatcat out of the silicone mold I made for it. I had to make a few repairs and refine it a little, but now I’m almost ready to apply some paint.
I’ll let you know how that goes just as soon as I’m done with it!
Well, I’ve been working on little Scatcat now for a few days, shaving it, smoothing it, adding little details. It’s coming along nicely. This is the last photo I took of Scats out and about, it looks rough because it still was. Now it’s smoother and more detailed.
This is how it looked today at about 8:45, half embedded in a block of silicone. I poured the second half around 9:30. Hopefully tomorrow I can separate the two halves of silicone, remove the critter without damaging the mold, and dump some two part epoxy resin into it. Then, viola! Two Scatcats. Maybe three or four. It depends on how well the mold holds up and how much resin I’ve got left.
It should be fun! I’ll update as soon as I pull my first figure.
He’s a little under two inches high and full of shit! I sculpted him out of wire and poly-epoxy resin in about three hours. He still needs to be finished out, sanded, shaved and smoothed, but for the most part, this is what he looks like. Go, Scatcat!
More character studies are afoot!
Kid Frankenstein! Back from the dead and ready for a-c-t-i-o-n!
The Neck! A hard-luck gangster who can’t get away with anything because everyone remembers a man with a three-foot neck!
Mr. Kong, 400 pound CPA! Because who doesn’t want an accountant that could rip a man in two?

Here are a few characters I have been knocking around recently. Have a look-see!
Look out for the Scatcat! It’s a revision of a drawing and a painting… I like this guy!
I call this one Eye Claudius. His Achilles’ Heel is the giant eyeball in his chest.
Wilton the Clownmaster! I based this one on the old Wilton clown cake toppers from the 60s and 70s. Just a clown head on a fringe with a spike on the bottom, to anchor it to the cake or cupcake of your choice. Surely you remember these guys?
That’s all for now. More, later!

Canine versus Swine, who will win? The fight…continues.
A recent addition to the Friendly Friends canon. Hmm, perhaps not so friendly after all. Oh well!

I finally got around to hanging up this painting. It has frequently come up in our conversations as to just how little art we have on our walls. How I had forgotten that I had done this giant painting is beyond me, but here it is. I think it really ties the room together, as it were.
