The second sculpt - another figure or workman in dungarees.
Image One - The figure was converted from another 1/24th scale plastic figure bought from e-bay. Here you see the finished sculpt alongside the original donor figure.
Image Three - After smoothing out the Green Stuff and Milliput, I painted the figure with some GW liquid Green Stuff before undercoating with grey acrylic paint.
Image Four - The flesh areas were built up over Snakebite Leather.
Image Five - The white shirt was painted over Stonewall Grey from Vallejo, then highlighted with Dead White.
Image Six - The workman from the rear showing how the work clothes were sculpted.
Image Seven - The first and second test figures alongside one another. They stand between 63mm and 65mm tall or around 5' 8'' - 5' 10'' in 1:27.7 (11mm = 1 foot).
I have to admit that sculpting these test figures is very therapeutic. I would expect to do more, many more.....

Fantastic conversion, a real nice original figure you did make!
ReplyDeleteBecause of this I have pulled out an old railroad modeler magazine that featured an early small layout by John Olsen (Railroad Modeler, January 1974, vol 4 #1). I'm seriously thinking of recreating this layout on On30. The original version of this was the end of the line of the Sagatucket River RR. It's more of a switching puzzle and I think my On30 equipment would be perfect for this.
ReplyDeleteHi Kris,
ReplyDeleteI am aware of the 'Switching Puzzle' layouts and have been thinking about reproducing one for my own shelf layout. However I don't think I'll have enough room.
My plan is to upload some of the layout designs I have been working on soon.
