Hi guys, while I have been working on my RC boat I took time out to do a little dio of a fisherman that was originally a skipper in the wheelhouse of a RC trawler that got dropped and broke-used it for spare parts.
I was sat in the shed and looked at him and wondered what to do...something simple I thought.
The legs are cut from an old firework rocket stick and the planking is made from lollipop sticks, all sanded and weathered on my grinder/sander. The bollard is a brass finial off something and the lobster pot is a plastic base and copper wire with old distressed netting, the floats are actually really small line floats used by fisherman. The base was masked off, lightly sanded and a colour combo of ocean blue and light metallic blue added, once dry it was covered in clear sealant and the wave/ripples created using the back of a teaspoon. I used fine sand grains on the base of legs and part way up to create growth and then the whole lot was weathered using various matt paints and sponging/dry brush techniques.
So here he is:
