Hope your furry friend goes on OK.
Weathering looks great.

Thanks guys, she is fine but being a primadona is hiding away from the other cats who just show concern and sniff her and lick to give comfort.

On last bit of chipping and bare metal and a little rust streaks for the vehicles. Then I can concentrate on the figures.

With the amount of fruit missiles thrown at the poor chaps I thought of increasing the attacking troop by making another two...

Now with foresight I have made the armatures more sturdy and with twirls for the putty to cling on.

Even my sculpting is slightly better with the face features. They'll be up in a jiffy fruit in hand.

These guys are a bit well fed...will need to shave off some fat.

Meanwhile I did some damage to the Dodge...

Will need to refine the shattering more. Left over putty became fruit...

Just love it Richard. Is each monkey head a one-off or do you have a mould and cast what you need? Is the shattered screen actual cracks or just scratches. Either way it looks superb.

Glad you like it Jim. Each monkey head is a one off. The earlier ones had skulls made first then detail added on. With a bit more courage I did the last two straight from a blob of putty. I scratched in the cracks with a sharp needle chucked in a pin vise holder freehand.
Todays progress is very slow although it's the Ramadan holidays which means SWMBO is home and chores suddenly sprout up.

Just dry fitting the figures in the Dodge just to see where I need the direction of the light source which is coming from the back top of the Dodge.

So all my highlights should be from that direction including the Dodge.
