I think most people who do any type of sculpting know this company, but we are pleased to announce that they have signed on with ISY for the coming year. We will be highlighting some of their products here and even doing some front page videos regarding how to use certain types of the products.

UPDATE: They also have a great Facebook Page for those who want to go look. You might even see the new video there!

One of the first products that we would like to feature is a product they call Fixit Sculpt. I think most who use it as far as sculpting material on AFs consider it the best product on the market.

FIXIT Sculpt

It has a firm clay-like feel that resists sagging and drooping; holds detail & impressions. Generous 4 hour working time. Flat matte finish, accepts paints and stains.

Title: Re: Aves Studio
Post by: Tamer on October 17, 2012, 10:59:29 AM
Can't decide which Aves product will work best for you? Try a power pack! I thought it would be cool this week to feature the product they are gonna send to one of our current contest winners:

Aves Power Pack
(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/CTtamer/Tamer%20Cont%202/Aves___Power_Pac_4d9f816bb3cee.jpg) (http://www.avesstudio.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=83&category_id=22&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=4&vmcchk=1&Itemid=4)

Title: Re: Aves Studio

I thought it would also be a good idea to get this up too if you can't decide which FIXIT Product to use:

Fixit® Power Pack

This product looks perfect to use with resins/plastics:

Super WhiteTM Apoxie®
(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/CTtamer/Tamer%20Cont%202/Apoxie___Sculpt__49ee386f320c0.jpg) (http://www.avesstudio.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=80&category_id=7&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=4)

Crap. I hate to hear money has to go to things like this instead of fun like your anniversary trip. Ah well, if it makes you feel any better we are pretty much giving up on some of our vacay stuff too to do some house renovations this summer.

I can't even imagine what some of the folks could do here with this product:

Aves® Paper Mache™
(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/CTtamer/Tamer%20Cont%202/Aves___ClayShay__4990a4673ec7e.jpg) (http://www.avesstudio.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&product_id=24&flypage=flypage.tpl&pop=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=4&vmcchk=1&Itemid=4)
Uses include classroom projects, design and art prototypes, casting, molds and reproduction items, model construction, theatrical props, model railroad scenery, substructures, pinatas, and more. Fun to use on all conventional & hand lay-up applications.

I would think the diorama folks could work some miracles with this.
Title: Re: Aves Studio
Post by: Tamer on November 25, 2012, 09:19:33 AM
I thought clean up might be in order this week:

Safety Solvent
(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/CTtamer/Tamer%20Cont%202/Aves___Safety_So_4991ecfb16e7d.jpg) (http://www.avesstudio.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=82&category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=4&vmcchk=1&Itemid=4)
A Safer Solvent!

Aves® Safety Solvent is recommended for tooling, smoothing/seamlessly feathering, texturing, & quickly cleaning Aves® Apoxie® & FIXIT® products, and other epoxies, from tools, brushes and surfaces before set-up. Water clean-up! D.O.T. certified non-hazardous for international and domestic shipping. This is a safe alternative for acetone and other commonly used toxic solvents. It is the least flammable, most effective safety solvent on the market.

I bet Spry could work some painting wonders with this too.

I just ran a story on the front page, but you can find some great prices in their Super Sale Section!
Title: Re: Aves Studio
Post by: Tamer on December 13, 2012, 01:44:44 PM
I think the diorama folks would love this product:

Aves® ClayShay™
(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/CTtamer/Tamer%20Cont%202/avesclayshay.gif) (http://www.avesstudio.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=81&category_id=3&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=4&vmcchk=1&Itemid=4)

Clayshay™ is innovative, safe and non-hazardous with no asbestos and 0% shrinkage. Mix thick to feel like clay or mix thin to feel like maché. This product has a double set to lock in details and eliminate shrinkage. It has a light brown body, is lightweight, strong & very versatile for universal applications as a clay or a maché. It can be carved, filed, sanded, painted, or otherwise finished after set-up.

Looks like it would work wonders to give any diorama buildings a clay or brick or sandy type appearance.

Need an industrial quality adhesive?

FIXIT® Paste
(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/CTtamer/Tamer%20Cont%202/fixitpaste.gif) (http://www.avesstudio.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=27&category_id=2&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1)
FIXIT® Paste is a 2-part paste used to permanently repair, bond, cast & seal most anything. Self-leveling batter-like consistency is stir-able,  can be spread thick or thin for durable surface coat. Tint with pigments to create or match desired color. Safe alternative to fiberglass & other casting resins, works great with flexible molds. Cures to a rock hard, semi-gloss finish that can be sanded, drilled, machined or painted. Outdoor & marine applications; stands up to UV rays; is impervious to water, fuels & chemicals. Patch holes & cracks, seal leaks (non-conductive, safe to use with potable water). Working time of 1-3 hrs. Full cure 24 hrs. FIXIT® Paste is non-hazardous, waterproof, with 0% shrinkage. Adheres to metals, wood, most plastics, PVC, fiberglass, stone, ceramic & more. Tackle your toughest repair jobs!

This sounds like a no-brainer to use for adherence and taking care of some of those mold issues.
Title: Re: Aves Studio
Post by: Tamer on January 02, 2013, 09:01:59 AM
Need something to cover your foam products? Try this:

Apoxie® Paste
(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/CTtamer/Tamer%20Cont%202/apoxiepaste.gif) (http://www.avesstudio.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=26&category_id=2&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1)

As most of us are aware just about anything, especially any aerosol type paint, just eats the heck out of styro-foam, foamcore, or similar products. Using a coat of this can solve that problem. Here are the technical details:

"Apoxie® Paste is an innovative adhesive medium used to permanently fill, bond, seal, customize & fabricate most materials. This all-purpose 2-part paste is safe & easy to use. Batter-like consistency is stir-able, yet thick enough that it tends to stay put; spread thick or thin with a tool or craft stick. When applied thin it is slightly translucent. Tint with pigments to match or create a desired color. Smoothes with water to a semi-gloss finish. Working time 1-3 hours; 24 hour full cure; sand & paint if desired. It is waterproof, with 0%  shrinkage, & gripping flexibility. Adheres to many plastics, resin, polymers, glass, metals, wood, stone, foam, & more. Simple water clean-up or use Aves® Safety Solvent. Great for arts & crafts, jewelry, stone setting, taxidermy applications & casting with flexible molds. Apply to foam or other materials for a hard surface coat, add texture to both porous & non-porous surfaces."

I like the idea of tinting it so you can get the color you want and heck you may not even have to paint. I would love to see some images of folks using this. I keep thinking of Michael Fright and his large walker projects that were ruined as the foam was eaten by the paint. This sure would have solved that!

That he started after watching Lucasclones' Apoxie Paste Tutorial Video you can find here:

Have you ever looked at Aves Studio's entire product line?

We wait no longer if you have. With 16 different lines (http://www.avesstudio.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category=&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1&vmcchk=1&Itemid=1) and a variety of products under each one, I doubt there is any customizing sculpting product you can't find. And remember, if you can't decide, just get either an FIXIT Power Pack (http://www.avesstudio.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=84&category_id=22&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1&vmcchk=1&Itemid=1) or an Apoxie Power Pack (http://www.avesstudio.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&product_id=83&flypage=flypage.tpl&pop=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1) and you can experiment.

I just posted a podcast of a small section of the audio we did with Daniel the other night where he shares how to use Aves Fixit in a new way to mold and cast parts. Cool stuff. Here is the link for Aves Fixit:

FIXIT Sculpt

We are way under-supplied when it comes to great female action figures, especially female armored forms. On the front page, Lucasclones shows you how to create an Armored Female Mandalorian using a product called Aves Fixit Sculpt (http://www.avesstudio.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=75&category_id=7&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1&vmcchk=1&Itemid=1). I have seen a lot of sculpting products used over the years and this is one that has stood the test of time in my opinion. And when your order some, tell em the Tamer sent you!

Now this would be a great product to use for rainy days.

Aves® Paper Mache™
(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/CTtamer/VALUEDCUSTOMER/avespapermache_zpsc0516184.png) (http://www.avesstudio.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&product_id=24&flypage=flypage.tpl&pop=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=4&vmcchk=1&Itemid=4)

Uses include classroom projects, design and art prototypes, casting, molds and reproduction items, model construction, theatrical props, model railroad scenery, substructures, pinatas, and more. Fun to use on all conventional & hand lay-up applications. I think you can see where I am going here!

Check out the video on the front page where Lucasclones shows you how to create some Mandalorian Female Forms using Aves Fixit Sculpt.

I think we can all agree that the number of good armored Star Wars Figures out there are few and far between. Throw in the female armored form and you are really hard pressed to find what you need. Well you can solve that problem by using Aves FIXIT® Sculpt to add female features to a regular Mandalorian body. Give it a try. Of course you will need this link (http://www.avesstudio.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&product_id=75&flypage=flypage.tpl&pop=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=4&vmcchk=1&Itemid=4) to go to Aves Studio and order your FIXIT® Sculpt. And remember, this will work on any armored form like Stormtroopers, or Snowtroopers, or AT-AT Drivers :) too. And don't forget about our Aves Tutorial Series (http://www.youtube.com/user/theimperialshipyards) on our Youtube Channel. There is all kind of customizing goodness on there as applied to your favorite custom figures and dioramas!
