Bloody Mary (1 Viewer)

[blaster]

Hi All,

Saw a Pix of Mary on the web and realised that I could use a spare Mokarex fig of Robespierre for the head.




So I cut his head off (how appropriate!) and stuck it only a failed metal woman's torso.
I decided to change the right leg pose.

Well, after I took the photo, the bloody head came off and I can locate it at all!!! So I did what every intrepid toy soldier maker does - I used the other Robespierre fig and made a couple of moulds from the head.
Then I made resin castings. Due to lack of practice and the non- help from Vulcan, the forger, I had to make several rounds of castings just to get an acceptable head.

Meanwhile I had covered up the mannequin with a modest tudor-like putty dress and I then plonked the cast head down onto the figure.

I tested pressing epoxy putty into the face moulds. This gave me more head castings.

And guess what? I found the bloody head stuck to a wad of epoxy putty!! Phuck it after I wasted some time making new head casts! Phew haf non the truble I wen 2. My kybd keys got stuck....

Anyway, a re-learning casting experience. Hahahaha.
