My name is Ian Mountain and I am a freelance figure sculptor and digital modeller based in the North-east of England.
I have been sculpting traditionally for eighteen years and in that time I have worked for many companies as well as individuals. I have an extensive back catalogue of sculpts, some of which you can see on this site.
I use an epoxy putty, generally known as green stuff or Kneadatite, for the majority of my work. The figures are usually made with a wire frame dollie which is bulked out and posed before the finishing details are added. The putty takes a short while to firm up and is fully cured in twenty four hours. Once cured it is suitable to be moulded in a silicon mould at high temperatures for metal casting.
Previously to going freelance I have worked for Forbidden Planet International as a retail manager. Before that I worked for Games Workshop as a retail manager in various stores throughout the North-East UK and Nottingham. It was while working in Nottingham at GW's HQ that I was introduced to sculpting with green stuff.
