Default Dewayne Jennings Figures

Thanks for your comments.

I reread my wording and I am afraid it could be taken wrong. I did not mean to sound like I was talking up my own paint job. I was just trying to express how good the new figures are. I have made historical model figures in almost every scale as well as wargames figures for many games, and these new Dewayne Jennings figures are as good as anything I have ever seen.

I didn't know whether to call these Electric Gridiron figures or Dewayne Jennings figures. What are they officially called?

Also, I made my forum name before I ever even knew of Electric Gridiron, so that was just an odd coincidence. (I just wanted to clarify that.)

As for the acrylic gel, it is a painting medium that is sold in the artist paints section at the hobby store. Heavy gel sometimes comes in a tube, but the regular gel and heavy body medium come in plastic jars. You will end up with much more than you will need, so if you are in a league perhaps several people can pitch in and buy a jar and split it up, then just mix it in a small tupperware type container and it keeps for along time. Use a small round brush and "sculpt" the detail you want. It may shrink slightly, but usually I don't notice unless I have filled a large gap with it. It will dry pretty fast so you can add a coat in about 5 to 10 minutes. When I apply facemasks I used it with a touch of water (never more than about 25%) and it works very well as it will hold, but still allow you to adjust the facemask carefully.

Oh, and Jamel G, I am not even from Ohio, so they don't have a monopoly.
