|  Well, it is now mid-December, and as promised I have finished the serpent on the Sturgeon King model. I sprayed some green to blue Alclad II prismatic paint along the belly of the serpent to add some additional shading and texture. The Alclad II prismatic paints have an interesting effect whereby they change color [...]  Now it is early December and I have started work on the serpent. I am not finished, but I thought I would post some progress pictures. I had mostly intended to follow PKking’s original color scheme as it made sense. The serpent is rising from the water and the base of the creature [...]  Well, it’s November now. I had hoped to have the base for my Sturgeon King model completed sooner, but sometimes things happen. It’s perhaps better not to rush. But really, I messed up. I had to redo some work and this contributed to the delay. I thought to build a simple oak base for [...]  Well, it’s October and my summer hiatus is over. I am now starting work on PKking’s wonderful sculpt, the Balance of the Nine Skies Sturgeon King. I am really curious to see what I can do with this. There are interesting facets of PKking’s sculpture that lead to creative ideas, although I am not [...]  When I explored Danny Choo’s Culture Japan website and discovered that I could actually buy his figma character Mirai Suenaga and one of the figma first anniversary bicycle kits that he displayed, well, I had to try my hand at replicating this work. Here are some construction pictures as I made the Itachari Bicycle [...]  This WIP explains making a bronze cast of Mitzuki of White Album. Mitzuke is a small figure from a Wonderfest original kit WSC#025. This cast is done using the lost wax process. [...]  Well, I managed to finish things up sooner than I thought. I was able to take final photographs in the studio and they are now posted. Here are some of the last work-in-progress photos I took on my workbench. Here is a little Photoshopping that I did. Isn’t it funny how [...]  Miku is just about finished! I adjusted her eyes a little to make the pupils larger. I also faded her eyebrows slightly to make them less prominent. Eyes are always tough to get right. They often take a bit of fiddling. There is also a picture of the arm assembly, with decal. What [...]  Almost 6 weeks ago I started a 1/6 scale model of Miku, the Vocaloid virtual diva. This figure was made by Volks a few years ago, I believe. I have really been remiss in not posting this work and for that I apologize. Hatsune Miku is the computer Vocaloid character that was the [...]  After another weekend I’ve managed to finish this model. A base still needs to be prepared, but here are the final work-in-progress pictures. [...] | |||||||||||
