Evening all
Well I have been mostly busy this weekend producing another driver figure, for my crane tank loco. I wanted a driver casually leaning out of the side of the cab, looking out at what was going on up ahead, as it were.
This is probably the most hacking I have ever done on a Preiser figure - there's no way this guy would get through a metal detector gate at an airport!
So, here's the sequence so far:
The ubiquitous 'before' shot....
Let the hacking commence! Nurse, the screens please....
OK, let's see how he takes to his new role...
Right, now to fill the gaps with Milliput...
... and back into position to check that the limbs are positioned where they should be.... (note I have not yet put a hand on the end of the arm, as it is likely to be knocked off during sanding down.
A bit of filing and sanding and dremelling etc to smooth it all down...
Next, a quick going over with spray primer (grey) ...
Attach a hand to the visible arm, and a quick photo-opportunity outside, in the Scampington siding...
Hawk-eyes will also note that the Weathering Monster has been about his dastardly work with the crane-tank loco... Bad monster - bad, bad monster!
More to follow as progress allows....
