Greetings to all... First picture...the "terrier" and "girl with doll" are the two i just finished...the "boy" was one Pete sent which was pre-painted...the "Large Santa" was one I painted a few years back...since I use the figurines for photography, and not permanently attached to a house base, I added a round cardboard disk base to each...a coat of fine grain German glass glitter was also applied the disk base... One more thing...I added a couple of coats of high gloss poly-acrylic finish on the figurines...I know a flat finish is more traditional, but I personally like the look of fired porcelain... Second picture...here are the other two "Santa" figurines I bought from Pete...a small hole is drilled into the figurine bottom...a short length of bamboo skewer and a cardboard disk is attached with epoxy cement......then it's off to the paint shop...note...the bamboo skewer acts as a paint handle, too...they'll be trimmed flush with the base when finished... You can contact Pete Oehmen here... oehmen@sbcglobal.net And for more about painting Pete's figurines...go here... https://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1437%20Pete Howard...

Speaking of detail painting... Here are ten brushes I purchased at Walmart for about $5.00...that's only 50-cents a brush...a very, very competitive price...they are now my "go to" brushes for painting flatties and figurines... Note...the online picture on the Walmart website may be a little different...perhaps it's just new packaging...but I think you can find them based on the bar code and description... I'm very impressed how these very inexpensive brushes hole their fine points even when loaded with paint... Howard...
