Thanks Monica , your idea has added much emotional content to my project, I would have never thought of it myself...........Jim

Thanks Ralph, After this dio I think I'll dabble in making small vignetts but I would like to work in a bigger scale than 1/35. I would love to start sculpting my own creations, just need to look into types of clays that can be used that would either self harden over a short period of time or that one can "bake" for lack of a better term so that painting can be achieved. Would like to make my own figures in at least 1/6 scale.


Of course my creations will be dark and horrid This struck me as maybe a first attempt

[Guest]

This would look great if you could do this.

[monica]

agree with Ralph,would like good,


as for air drying clay's,I got some a few weeks back ,and its just junk,to dry,and crumbly ,


so need to try some different one,as I only got a small packet of it to try,

Well I did a bit of research and found that there are two types of clays; water based and oil based. the oil base never hardens and the water based dries over time. You can make it in small batches


and as long as you keep a spray bottle near to control drying time one should be ok. It would be a big step for me to even contemplate such a venture into the unknown but something tells me I can


make a go of it. No rush though but Ralphs (SWR) awesome figure work in a larger scale has captured my imagination, though I'm sure no kit exists for the atrocious abominations


I wish to create................Jim

[monica]

very handy info,to know,ta Jim,will go and have a chat with the lass in the art shop close to home,


as the stuff I got ,just did not like water at all,so maybe as you said oil based,as I do real hate wasting


money even if its $7.oo $15.oo on it,as that could be a new brush or 2 if you get what I,mean,


why not see if you can get a 1/16 figure and reshape him,as then you have your base to work of,


for scale size,


or maybe we can see how good Ralph is at remaking and changing a figure lol,as ever thing that


he dose just works and looks great, :P

Very interesting that, I've been looking at 1/6 scale so called "military action figures" they seem very realistically kitted out with cloth uniforms and there are loads of 1/6 scale


personal equipment and such available that I know I can re-work into what I want to portray.....Oh, and I would NEVER challenge Ralph in any type of figure contest ....Jim

[monica]

oh lol,


or would I,he would have me for dinner lol,


I do real like the looks of these guys,and what a great way to do it as well,


as with them you can add and remove and sill able to get the look you won,t


I have seen them a few times,and would not mind a couple as well,but that of the high command.


bet you can guess who,


Nic showed me a figure a few weeks back of one of the big wigs,but he just looked creepy,shell not say who,


but this figure just got that side of him,

Good work on this Jim, typically morbid and thought provoking, really like it.


Looking forward to some of your own creations as discussed.
