Hi all!

Actually is not, but is starting to look like a blob with an attitude!

Hands, feet and modified head will be pop-out from the spare box.
After milliput dryes, some sanding and details will be added.



Sprue schelleton



Studies and schelleton with first milliput blobs....



Other options for pose (would be great if I had a bigger base!!)



One hour with milliput #1 Back



One hour with milliput #2 Front

Feedbacks are welcome to the blob and his attitute

Hi Dave!!


You'll already have of some, of my modeling most important tool: My hands
Although on the pic it's the dumm one (left)!!!!
Next will be my Eyes and Right hand
:-)

And then my brain - but only when I'm dead, or maibe I can find some old TAC scans

Just jocking

Seriously now:
Still have a lot of work to do on it, but I think I got the kind of attitute that I was hopping to get and tell a story...

Viva...

Good work! Just want to ask you something: how are you gonna model the figure? are you gonna build the body, then "dress" it, modeling coat after coat(the shirt then the jacket, etc...) or make it all in one "turn"?

I'm hoping to see more of your work... keep us posted!

See yaaa
Bom Ano Novo/ Happy New Year!

Olá Tino!!

Some more work has already been done!
The drapping of the shirt (as used in the period) has been done with Milliput.
The collar of the shirt, also Milliput.
Details on the pants - milliput!
Harms where spare parts, but have been milliput covered to show soem sag on the shirt...

I also am using my Dremel tool to smooth and make more details, but the main shape is made on this stage.

I'll update the gallery soon and show some more work!

By the way - this is my first scratchbuilt figurine

Bom Ano Novo,

Skipper
