Spring is Here (1 Viewer)

[blaster]

Hi all

Here we are entering into the Xmas year end season and I’m already already out of synch….Got to calibrate my dials or I’ll end up meeting the Elois……

Starting yet another diorama piece. Most probably will use the other refurbished microscope box that I have. This one will be a counterpoint to Omdurman. I’ll try to use up my stocks of female heads and torsos. Another guessing piece but is a quite well known ptg.

starting with the forefront fig which will be 1/24 based on preiser parts.

I selected a mass of failed castings and added putty to them. Then respected suitable poses and re articulated the rest to give me 6 mannequins. Numbered the pieces for identification n away I go.

The full height of these figs has been delineated. More drapery has been sculpted.
Note the variety of makes. 1/30 Historex, 1/32 Preiser and 1/35 Masterbox and my own 1/32 castings. Scale is overrated….

 

[blaster]

Adding more upper body details to these two figs.

 

[blaster]

Starting to sculpt the lower parts of the torsos.

I sculpted more, adding flowers to their hair. Tightening up the drapery.

Of the 6 maidens, they are lined up walking towards the viewer in two lines. Hence I am sculpting them in pairs front, middle and back with progressive smaller sizes.
Arms added and the front figures were sprayed in matt.

The 1st pic shows the gradual decrease in height n size of the three rows of maidens.
The 2nd pic shows the strong visual perspective.
