So, lets start with the beginning.
As i said in my introduction post i make scale models and diorama's based on WW2.
I have never tried to sculpt, or paint a figurine.
Now, that is going to change.
I have bought myself this 200mm resin kit of a German Panzer.
The idea is to paint it and make some sort of pedestal for it.
The kit contained 3 pieces: the head, the beret and a small cylinder to place the bust on.
With double sided tape i glued the included cylinder on a piece of wood, so i can use it as a holder for when i have painted a piece to let it dry, i will not use it on the pedestal, for that i am going to use a copper tube.
This is what the sculpture looks like dry-fitted after i removed the burr of the molding mall (do not know is that is the correct word for it, but i think you know what i mean.
I almost made the mistake of already glueing the beret on the head, but i am going to wait with that until the end (or near end) because when i glue it now, it is going to be difficult to reach some parts of the head.
Anyway, this is what it looks like now, ready to paint, and i am sure i will have a million questions during the progress, so i hope you guys want to help me getting them answered.
Now i am going to give Fritz a bath (yeah i named him Fritz
) so that there are no greases on the surfaces so that the paint will stick to it good.
I also drilled a small hole in the bottom to fit a skewer in it to hold the sculpture more easily when working on it.
