well I just had to make a start on these two,


and it gave me a reason to tryout the new Vallejo filler,like it because it has a wee,nozzle


to apply it ,


still some work to do ,on the filling and sanding part ,but not to much at all,quite a good fit


well hope that you like the looks off them both,


have a busy day so no more will be done on them,get the filler set , glue dry,

[monica]

the thing I do like about the filler unlike the tamiyo one,your not wasting as much


and fiddling about with a cocktail stick to put it on,it dose sean ok at the moment will sand it back to day,

well if to days anything to go by the start of a new week,well I,m going to have one of these


with very little time for me,


so the wee hrs in the morning before all get up will be my only time to get some painting


done,


made a start on the base which is the very cheap pay dough,that sets so hard,like clay,


have the undercoat on all,so let it sit for a day or morning and lay down the base coat on him,

Nice start Monica. These look to be very nicely moulded figures. That guy looks a right proper bastard. I bet he doesn't have trouble with people complaining about him not picking up the dog's do

 

[monica]

could not put it better Joe,I think your right,with that one,maybe that's why I ,like the look of him lol,

 

[grumpa]

I wonder if they make him life size he would make a great lawn jockey

 

[monica]

I do think he would be quite scary life size,as he dose not look happy at all,

 

[Guest]

Great stuff already moni.

 

[monica]

ta Ken so glad that your liking it so far,

 

[monica]

well not much of an update and no,I have not forgotten him,


as I ,did sprain my shoulder and arm well over a week ago,so have been unable to pickup a brush,


but have cut in the base colors and started his face,and so on the dog,


so if i do get some me time in the wee hours as I don't sleep well,maybe able to get some done this week,


well hoping you like them so far,


see always a reason why i fall behind on my work,
