Do you make them for yourself or series production? Be interested in what kind of subjects you model...

I am into both sculpting and painting busts.

I've looking into doing sculpting - tried a few times but so far my efforts have been limited to bits and pieces on production busts...

I am facinated by recipients of the VC and I started off by modifying commercial busts to make them look like (or at least similar to) VC recipients, like these two:

The first is a convertion of a Hawk Miniature bust to represent A Gill VC;

I think I should have made the face a little thinner

this one is a conversion of a Mitche's Miniature bust

Just so there is no misunderstanding of my post - I did not paint the two original versions of the two busts, I wish I had that level of skill.

You're not the only one who would like to have that level of skill... I certainly do too!
