my first proper attempt at a pinup
need a new glass, though (already ordered!)

sculpting the face

I am getting happier about my latest sculpture
it's almos in a state that can be shown, even if work in progress
but meanwhile I want to improve the face a bit!

here are some interesting videos I have been following:

from milliput to painted figure

I finally had the time to build my own light box!!
not finished yet but, even without special lighting,
the pictures of my miniatures have improved a lot!!

here are a couple of pictures of the milliput master sculpt
and the final airbrushed/paintbrushed figure!!
still working on another colour scheme (I'll post it here once it is finished)!

after 2 years of experimentation

it was approximately 2 years ago that I found this video online...
and thought to myself: doesn't look that complicated...

here are a few pictures I took of the most recent attempt!
(the previous ones are not good enough to show)
it's not finished yet... still have to paint her!

paper sculptures

this last week I tested a new material for "sculpting"
just print a pepakura template, and use some scissors, glue and patience

painting pitfalls

as the apartment we just bought was inhabited for the last 4 years,
we decided to clean the walls and give them a new coat of paint
and here is some knowledge (learned the hard way) I would like to share!

painting colour which you mixed yourselves is easy (once you do it right)
mixing paint should be done in a transparent container
and you should mix the paint near the walls with special care!!
just to be extra safe, roll the wall as you paint the framing (better blending)

german battleship Tirpitz

as if I didn't have enough hobbies I just got this...
its one of the two german Bismark class warships from ww2

inspirational sculpting/painting videos

just wish I had much more free time!!!
Plamo Tsukurou
