Steve H, Masterbox 1:24 figures, pewter, milliput and a VW beetle, Simon T's Tribute GB

Very nice Steve.Looking splendid so far.
Great stuff.
Rich

Impressive looking remodelling Steve.

Good work Steve, great skills!

Morning Chaps

Busier than I expected!

So no pressure to work on the clothes then! LOL

I shall break out the pewter sheet and see how it folds and cuts.

I think I shall have to attach the heads as the hair will need to go over the clothing, so it look like neck bolts and joints next and more filler!

It I can manage it, perhaps some AB work on the VW this week too?

Thanks for popping by

More soon?

Regards

Morning chaps

Slow going due to life and stuff but a little update

The VW beetle is stripped and primed ready for the multicolored look



The carpets are dolls house 1/16:24 scale as the seats are covered by them after the material was eaten by mould demons.

They do seem quite big, so I might use some of the off cuts of milliput sheets, we shall see?

Karrin has some clothes, my first attempt at milliput clothing.

Some sanding and scribing should get me closer to something reasonable






Good to get her dressed, and she does have a very big gun for a small lady, the shoulder rig will be foil, next

More soon?

Regards

Just caught up to this Steve.........major surgery on these three, for sure. The VW looks like it is in for it as well. Don't keep us in suspense too long. Rick H.

great start to the sculpting ,Steve- looks like you have an undiscovered talent

Very nice work Steve. Dolls house suppliers can be a mine of treasures - also good for buckles and straps I find. Fine sculpting on Karrin - very smooth. Lovely to see.

Hi Steve
Quite a project you have taken on. Progress so far on the figures looks great.
Jim

Good start on this. As the others have said, nice sculpting....a black art to me I’m afraid!

Evening chaps

Its been a busy week and I actually found some hobby time, that is an odd occurrence for me!

Yes Rick, the VW is in for a real treat of multicoloured panelling and the effects of multiple demon attacks too.

Neil, Tim, sculpting is certainly a "black art" but its quite good fun at the moment, just making clothes

Dolls house stuff is certainly useful Peter, I have some fun things to use in the VW, when it gets onto the bench.

Thanks for popping by Jim and everyone, A little bit more.

I have been using white milliput which can be rolled so thin, its like paper, but by using baby talc to get it so thin, it also becomes a little difficult to stick to the parts of the body, the clothes are meant to fit.

So, it gets a little water, and lots of patient pushing and smoothing, and once its dry lots of 180/240 grit sanding too.

So, Karrin has a shoulder rig, gun and all the usual Police detective kit.

The blown up photos are quite critical, but I am reasonably happy with my first attempt at clothing.

The pewter is too thick for the belts and straps, so I used the thick foil seals from Millicano coffee tins.

And the work so far, be gentle LOL






The arms have sleeves but will need a good sand and foil cuffs.

The chest has been sanded as far as I dare!

She was a ""Pin Up"" figure and rather buxom for the character, I might try and sand some more off after priming, if it doesn't look too bad where the milliput shirt has been removed.

Hopefully some work on her hair soon, but I think it will need to be stickier, as I couldn't get the milliput to stick using up the pieces I had rolled out but covered in talc.

We shall see, but it is good fun and really interesting for a new part of the hobby.

More soon?

Thanks for popping by

More great work Steve. A lovely smooth finish and fine foil work. I too have spent much time sanding down the 'attributes' of certain female figures - sculptors just can't seem to help themselves can they? Bit of a weird exercise.

Nice detailing Steve. Coming along well.

very interesting work
