Munny Bub- What I did

I just could not get myself to go back to the Judge right now, so i decided to change up the pace.

Last summer I bought some Munny's with bright eyed intentions into making some master pieces, Now, I have finally decided to crack them out of the closet and let him see the light of day. The little man I decided to work on is  a "Bub" Munny, he's a little bit fatter, big headed and hippoish...

Sculpting attempt #1

Originally I was thinking of doing some sort of Jamaican man, with dreads and some bongos, but I think I may switch it up to a soccer player... As for the team? I have no idea yet! We have no real soccer team in Canada(*sigh* :( ) , so I am open for suggestions!

The dreads are made with epoxy. The longer strands coming out of his head actually have paper clip parts to support for structure. I  am having some difficulties with his hair. Originally i tried to make sort of a "crown" armature for his head, but that turned out disastrous. So I decided to than just build the dreads on his head, and sort of drill/glue the clips in.

I seem to have run into a bit of an issue though, I made the... Let's just call it "hair extensions" too thick in comparison to what I have on top of his head. I think I am going to have to shave down the extensions...

Until next time!

Painting this week!- What I Did This Week

Well I actually did get around to painting this week. I am pretty much done the coat, I just need to touch up the sleeves... and then I'm ready to move onto a new color! YAY!

I have been very busy with a bunch of stuff so I apologize for not being as consistent or active with updates. I am planning to be very active in December once exams and assignments slow down and work as well!

What I didn't do this week

It was such a hectic week with moving, school exams, and work overload that unfortuantly I was unable to post and paint. I am crossing my fingers that this week will be slower so I can finally finish that fricken model! It has been on the table for far to long.

Here's hoping!

Broken Sword - What I Did This Week

 This week was a little bit hectic with work and school in the crunch time. Unfortunately, I couldn't bring myself around to grabbing the brush; however, I was able to fix the broken sword.
I must say, this was a little bit of a battle, with only the tip missing I was at a lost what to do. I added a bit of magic sculpt on the end of my broken sword and made the basic shape and let it harden overnight.

The next  day I tried to sand it so it was even with the rest of the sword, I guess I sanded a little to much and the tip  fell off. Luckily, all was not lost as it kept the same form. I was debating pinning it, but the sword being so tiny and thin, it got me worried. I ended up just gluing it back on and finish shaping it.

It turned out pretty good. I guess I could of just showed the  company the miniature and got them to send me a replacement, but hey where is the fun in that :P
