    Simple and Small

    Hi guys,
    My building has been dry lately, the big stuff seems to have stalled so for MALCOM I thought of doing something simple and small.
    Let's see if you can guess what I'll be making with the items that I have listed in my preparation in this shot...

    I'm taking a little bit from each box and the funny thing was I searched every box I had for one particular item and only the old Tamiya figure box had it...a radio set. Perhaps there are aftermarket ones but I only remember this one. I've got a title...you'll soon see it.

    Cheers,
    Wabble

          The main guy with major modifications to his torso and deflatening his back.

            This time no gory decapitation or Village People images but a few days work on getting the figure to stop right and bulked up in the back...

            Lifted the collar and shoulders with putty together with the blouse sides. At this point I hadn't bulked up the back and back of the trousers legs as these were moulded flat. I put a piece of tape on the seat to prevent the putty from sticking. The cutting mat acted as the pavement so the feet would naturally sit lower on the road.

            Worked on the helmet as well with add on straps from putty.

                        Yup that would be fun to paint.

                            Seems similar to a diorama I have planned and provisioned for once the Outlaws have left Richard - the competition is out of my league now so it's back to the drawing board! Looking on with considerable interest!

                              Hi Steve, it's not a competition and you may have a different composition and layout or scenario. Nice to have you along on this ride.
