Monica you're a machine!! A lot of detail on this one, should be an interesting build.

 

[monica]

ta Aaron i do like the detail,in his face ,so it will be interesting to paint him,


will have to try and find some color pics of him to work off,


so a lot of beige,sands,creams,aand off whites,will be fun,


have a few ideas for his backround and yes i can use a cat

 

[john i am]

You could do a nice backdrop on this one moni he could be coming out of A&E at the hospital Lol

 

[monica]

ta John ,i do like that one oh lol,and glad you like him,


i do have a few idea for this one,and the use of a little forced perspective

 

[bazers]

[monica]

ta Barry as long as they keep coming in i will be happy doing them,not to sure how

[flyjoe180]

I too will watch this one Monica. This is one I can relate to.

 

[monica]

so glad that this one is more your speed Joe,and glad to have you along,

 

[monica]

well been having a little play about with this one for the


base and background,and think that this may work,


i made up two cats that will sit up about 50mm of the steps he is standing on,


i did make a coffin lib,that broke on my bu will be able to hide that some how,


maybe some cloth around the worse part of it,


real pushing this forced prospective,


by have him towards the front,and dropping down to were the coffin is about,50mm


then just having the base of the coffin as well,on some type of plinth,and moving in the


two colons a little on each side,and adding ,a top beam,i think it will work ?


so it will all taper from the frond back,with a small full wall on each side


with the coffin set back in to an alcove


hope you like the idea,and any suggestion,comments most welcome,

Ooo after visiting the valley of the kings a couple of years ago I'll be watching for historical accuracy ......... Only joking looks like fun, my wife as a young girl used to take her lunch to the local museum so she could sit and chat to the mummy.

yes,


them as well cannot spell it so lefted it out lol,


same as calling it a coffin and not a sarcophagus ,had to google it lol,


there,s a plan for them you read my mind,what a messy place that is,lol,


that Dave i would love to do ,but never got around to it,I have always been interested,in it,


maybe she has the right idea,i should do ,that so i dont get nagged ,

Good , if you dont fancy carving them on the beam you could paint them , i too have been to Egypt and the tombs have them painted,


but whatever you paint on the beam be careful, you dont want to upset the mummy !!!.

 

[Guest]

Ohhhhhhhh loved Boris Karloff films.


This is gonna be sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[monica]

so glad that your liking it Barry,Andrew,


real is one place that i would like to go Barry but untill i win the lotto ,well can hope,


i think i will only be painting in the hieroglyphics,on but will cave them in a little ,


but not to say a full mold of them,


and i will have no cue what thay say or mean oops maybe some think bad i guess,

 

[monica]

as you can see the back round is all but done,
