Just now the dancing Cossack has moved to the base!



As this figure touches the ground only with a step-tip, I've pinned especially carefully. We remember that the steel pin was when Assembling the figure already highly performed to the butt...:



The other long end of the pin has now been deeply fixed in the wood of the base - again with two-component adhesives ...:



The dancer now stands next to his singing mate - and I'm pretty happy with what I see before me...:









Next week the arms of the dancer will be still placed on the pedestal - and then I will be ready.

175. Day, July 14, 2015

So - I have just set up my "Photo Studio":

It consists of my crafts table and a kitchen chair placed thereon, via the I hang a grey curtain ...:



There the Vignette is placed ...:



I have made the images without any artificial light - illuminated only by the light of what appears in the window of my craft-conservatory.

This came out ...:






















Well, there they are, my first attempts with oil colors!

Thank You with me until that moment on the workbench! Thank you for tips and suggestions - but above all thanks to Markus, but he has put these beautiful figures in the world!
