Ferris
A Fixture
Hi All,
Here's a piece that I was attracted to for its unusual and well-sculpted sitting pose. Having Austrian roots it seemed a nice and colorful addition to the display cabinet.
The sculpt is a bit rough, which makes painting challenging in places such as the face and hands. The general surface of the sculpt also needs some smoothing in places. Assembly of the chair needs some good old modelling skills and patience, as the parts of the chair and figure need to be well-alignment. I needed a layer of magic sculpt to make the figure's back sit snugly against the seat's back. So some care is needed but overall this is a very nice figure that I can recommend.
Painting done with Vallejo acrylics. The pictures gave me some pointers for finishing up, but the overall impression is there. Carpet is a paper item from ETA Diorama (highly recommended for original diorama/groundwork accessories!) laminated with a sheet of plastic, matted down with varnish and shaded with thinned acrylics.
Regards,
Adrian
