If I have to be critical, the biggest problem with this is that it's not mine.  :D

The sculpting is great but I think it'll be getting the paint job right that makes this really pop. I know your stuff though so I know you will do it.

Fantastic work, Andy! And that railing alone is genius ... I tried to find out what you're using staring at the pic for some time until realising to read your text further below ...  o_o

Rubbish. Amateurish.

You neglected to sculpt the pinky finger.

I am so sorry. I had dropped my monocle in the rum toddy and miss-counted the fingers by missing the index finger. It looked like the pinky was missing.

I think this picture probably shows it better....



....it’s a lighter hold she has over the torch, not a full grasp like she was holding a sword or something. This picture also shows the filling in that needs to be done on the back of the fingers. It looks creepy just now!...... :`

Gotta agree. Sorry....

Pull yer finger out and do it properly, mate.
 ;D ;D



‘Pop’.....and that’s said finger, pulled out! ;) Big hammer on its way! :D

It’s going to be getting the right shade of green/turquoise that’s going to be the hardest part! That and the black staining around her face! :?

Fantastic work, Andy! And that railing alone is genius ... I tried to find out what you're using staring at the pic for some time until realising to read your text further below ...  o_o


Yip! Just really thin plastic card for ease of cutting.

Thanks very much for all the support guys! :D

That is some cracking work, sir.
Maybe the odd bit of 'damage' to the statue could be appropriate too.
 ;)

They’re scored. The barrier are done with foamed PVC...

https://www.antenocitisworkshop.com/3mm-white-foamed-pvc/a-2048/

...it’s actually very easy to cut and mark details in. I’ve used it before for making a wee truck....



...and for making a floating hotel last year....



The brain has been joined by some more ‘brainy’ sections....

You do realise you won't be allowed sharp objects around the house now so you will need to give all your stuff to me to look after :D
That includes models with sharp points like that one

This is looking incredible!  I've often wondered about that foamed pvc as a material but have never gotten around to buying some to try out, looks really good.
