Just catching up with this one... What a fantastic photo, and a brilliant idea, Monica. Looks like it's coming along well, too.

I think that you are doing great with the green stuff. I fear that any form of flocking will turn them into fuzzy blobs.
A bit late now but there are some firms that make Polar bears as kids toys. Im not sure of the scale but think they are around 1/32 which is close enough.
Schelleer maybe. Not sure if they are out there in Oz yet.Comment

ta Ian,very glad and happy that you do like them,so far,I got the idea of doing them this way from a mate,
who made some cyber monkeys ,from doc who,but only 28mm,and used a plain figure,which turn out well,
I did look for,1.35,ones,so hard to find any think,also the Schelleer,we get in the toy,shops and so on,but
to me were over size,so came up ,this way,had my mate dave,3D print them,45mm L x 40mm H,
I was kind of thinking the sane with the ,flock,but will have a google into it,

well an update with these,s two guys,almost done,some touch up work,needed in spots,
over all ,I for a first I,m quite happy with them,
by taking a pic,I,can see were I,need to do some more work,on the fur ,before it dose set,
some times I,find the green stuff dose spring back,so you need to redo bits,once it starts
to harden,
well hope your liking them,
with the heads,as its resin,I mite use some ,acetone,to soften,then scribe in the texture
just thinking on the best way around it,or then again,maybe just use greenstuff,

real appreciated ,Stuart,so glad that you like them,
,
I,m happy with them as I,have never done this type of thing before,
what I,did is use green stuff,or you could use millput,some type of two,part ,putty,
then mix it,not 50/50 as you should,but to give more time,say like 45/55, just that,
bit more play time,
and don,t do too much at once,is the key ,so work with small amounts,mix,and smooth on thinly,
then with a pin,start to etch in the hair,lines close together,in the same way hair dose fall,
I start with the back,and tummy first,the the neck,head,as the hair will,over lap onto these,s parts,
them the legs tail,
but you need to start ,let set/dry,what ever the stuff dose,before moving on,to the next stage,so
you don,t flatten your work,so takes a couple of days to do each one,
and you seam to pickup your style as you go along,o_O
well hope this is of some help for you,
