Sculpt & Swap returns with Scott Kinnebrew, Jason Chalker
Urban Vinyl Daily's Sculpt & Swap series is back for a third release, and this time around, Scott Kinnebrew and Jason Chalker are the featured artists. How the series works is that each artist sculpts five custom figures, then sends their figures to their collab partner, who paints the figures. So Scott sculpted figures that Jason painted, and vice versa. Both these guys have very different styles, and you can see it in the releases, with Jason's kit-bashing and sculptwork given a colorful paintjob by Scott, and Scott's creatures likewise painted into mythical beasts by Jason.
Want one? They're blind-boxed and on sale today at noon EST (4 p.m. GMT, 9 a.m. Pacific) for US$75 each. You can find them in the Urban Vinyl Daily store.
