what I,m trying to do is a figure from the movie,kick ass ,of hit girl,120mm,
so made a start on her,with a wire arbitrary ,then foil,then add the sculpey premo,one my simple shape and base ,
is set,can start ,to add the clothing,so not ,to concurred ,about how she is real look,as long in my size,
some will be done with green stuff,and the other with ,the premo,:rolling:

Hi Monica,

Very brave of you to sculpt a figure from scratch. It's coming along well. I have only tried sculpting figures once in 1/35 scale and it was for the Shizuoka show. I was pressed for time if not I would have done it better. At the beginning it looked like disaster. This was my final effort...

It's the two little kids in the middle. The rest are modified kit figures.
And this was when i thought they were disasters...

Hope these give you encouragement.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Monica
I think sculpting figures is the hardest thing to do so well done for giving it a go. What you have done so far is excellent. I know some people use resin heads as that part is so difficult but you look to be doing fine. I love the two bears :thumb2:

ta for the kind words,Jim,Have have been going over that in my head,all day,with heads and hands if i had someone to make them ,then make a mold,
in 1/35 you can find hands and heads easy,I real don't know what scale this is,to look,never been good at that type of math :face-with-thermometer:
I know a guy,I see from time to time,I call him the master,as he is just great at everything,he dose work for Nic,at eureka miniatures,his name is costa,[ if spelled right ]
great guy as well,
so glad that you like them had fun making them,:smiling:

Monica,
The bears are great and so is the progress of whats her name from the Kick Ass movie. Sometimes I give a name to my figures rather than figure one or two for easy reference and describing in the post.

Cheers,
Richard

Looking pretty good so far

Sculpting people must be one of the hardest things there is

I've made a few attempts - this chap is 1/9 and totally scratched. The rifle came out fine but the chap has a few issues

Olga a toon type figure about 40mm high - much easier as not real

This is the start of a 1/6 Mujahideen fighter bust with AKM over shoulder - the AKM is a doddle, chap not so much

These two in overalls were intended to be painting a 35th tank in whitewash but never got finished

Very frustrating but as you say the more you do the better things get
