Dear friends,
An interview with the chief moderator of Benno's Forum, Benno himself, was conducted and can be read at http://www.pegasusfigures.com/Pegasus_F ... Benno.html
If you don't know much about this young man, I think you will be impressed.
Best wishes,
Steven Lloyd

Someone asked who will be next. I have already interviewed Alex, the gentleman who sculpts figures for Valdemar Miniatures, and Yarik. Just go to the "interview" page of my website at: www.pegasusfigures.com.
I am currently interviewing Doug Cohen, a master sculptor and painter in the States. Someone called him the Remington of Miniatures. I have been impressed with his figures and painting, in particular, faces ever since I saw a figure of his at a SCAHMS show a couple of years ago. I knew intellectually that the figure would not move, but you are compelled to watch it to make sure, his technique is so effective. So, I am interviewing Doug on painting flesh. Several other interviews are commencing.
I recently wrote an article published in the current Figure International Magazine by Andrea Press on the manufacturing of 1/72 scale figures. Ironically, an interview with Doug Cohen appears in the same issue.
Best wishes,
Steve

Great interview!! I went ahead and read the other ones on the site while I was there as well. They were all very interesting in their own way.

So Benno, if I send you a 6mm figure, will you autograph it for me :mrgreen:

Great interview! I really like Benno! Seems real easy-going and laid back.
And he—like me—is a huge rail fan! And that's always a plus!!!
