They're made from various matierials but the figures are mostly made from Super Sculpey
After they're baked they're like cement, the pieces are then molded and castings are made from them molds.

Wow Jesse, this stuff is absolutely incredible!!! DC is really missing out on some talent here, between you and your friend! Keep 'em coming!! I love that your attention to detail even included flight rings, like the one for Mon-El that is barely noticable (unless you are looking)!!
How long does the whole process take, from concept to completed piece (painted and all)?

Designing is the easiest and most fun part of the process. Sculpting, depending on the amount of detail involved could be a couple of days to a couple of months ... Dawnstar has been 4 months in just the sculpting because the sculptor has a FT job as well. Casting takes about a month or so and painting on a kit like Dawnstar will take about 12 to 15 hours. Painting on Wildfire and Monel was about 3 hours.
Next up will be Karate Kid in Mini Bust forum.
If anyone is interested in getting copies of the kits, let me know.

I'd love one myself, especially if you guys ever get around to doing Lightning Lad or even a set of busts of the Founders. What would it take to get a copy of one of the kits, like the Dawnstar one? I'd probably have a great time painting it (used to do my own greenware at one time). Acrylic paints work?

I make and extremely limited amount of copies of these pieces available as kits, it helps pay to keep the line going ... just send me a private if you want details.
The next 3 mini busts in the line will be Shadow Lass, Karate Kid and Dream Girl .... after that we're going to do the founders (Cos, LL and SG)

say, do you do the commission work? If not, oh darn that's okay.
and also, would you be willing to sell them on Ebay? As similar to the guy who made T-shirts on legionnaires symbol like Timber Wolf, Sun Boy, Ferro Lad, and Ultra Boy - he sells them for 20 dollars....but I am sure that your work will cost more than that. I would like to *gulp* (guilty....) see you do with Dream Girl and Karate Kid (which version?) and buy them. *grin*

All the pieces I'm doing will be in the Mike Grell / Dave Cockrum era costumes ... I don't take commissions anymore because I have so many pieces in the works at the moment.
