[monica]

well my 1st commissioned job has come in,being Frankenstein, 1/6 so about 300 mm

and he is made of that vivel as well,so a bit of work with the ,fitting,

but think should be ok just by looking

been a bit to hot the last few day,s with it up to 39c or so ,and thats just

to hot to even think about modeling,

Ok Moni!! Good luck!

300mm of figure where you can play with your skills

 

[monica]

ta for the well wish Polux,

I think mostly grays and black,s should do it,bit tricky with the black shades,

 

[Richi72]

Nice model Moni,

but wasn't his head green?

Cheers Richi

 

[monica]

ta Richi glad you like him,

yes your right,his skin is green,but im doing it softer shade of green,off whites

and darker,green/grays around the eyes mouth,lips that type of thing,

with some of the darker end of the red line as well,

think you know what im getting att,

 

[Guest]

good luck as always I am sure you will do a stirling job on it.

 

[monica]

ta Ken and do like the well wisher,s

 

[monica]

finally stopped looking at the box,and started him,

have him all trimmed and fitted,not bad at all only some filling needed around the lower

torso ,

so gave him a tub in hot soapy water,ready to be glued up,but need to get some filler

stuff from the hardware later thinking to use that foam in a can to fill him up and add

a little wight to him

plus need ti find some small hex bolt,s to replace the neck ones

so any start must be a good one i think,

hope to get him primed as well

Just seen this one Monica I'm watching this one I used to love watching all the old Frankenstein moves when I was younger

 

[john i am]

Moni be careful with the foam some of it expands you could be blowing frankie up before you've even started him

 

[monica]

me as well Ian loved all the old horror movies,the wolf-man,the creature from the black lagoon as well ,

Dracula ,and always on Friday night,so im going to enjoy this one,

oh John real its like that is it, maybe drop in some plaster down his legs 1st to add some weight,and

just a small squirt of that stuff,

just to reinforce the center of him,dont wont to buy a new one lol,

pop look frankie is hear there and ever-were

 

[monica]

well todays update,have him all together ,,

and just marked out the floor/and wall ,and it will have an open door,as well

what i will use old fence wood for ,so a head start on that part,

so with the wall if any suggestion, are welcomed,

Nice Monica, I like your technique of hi lighting with grey over black sprayed from the top.

The detail looks really good especially on the head cast. Looks like fun.

 

[monica]

ta Aaron,so glad your liking him,

just trying some new with the under coats as were i would like it to real show,the differences in the gray,s,

as when done i real wont it to show,as 3 or 4 difference color,s if you get what im trying to do,

 

[flyjoe180]

Looks great so far Monica. The figure looks to be nicely detailed as Aaron says.

 

[monica]

ta Joe,glad your liking him,his face has alot of good detail,which should make for easy painting i hope,
