hello everybody

this my second figure before the pissing man
the propotions are not quite right the legs are to long for the head and body

but that's no problem if you learn you will do always something wrong

old and new wood
every way is good
i try but it is not what i want

Wynants, I like the figure, especially the pose. Getting the proportion correct takes time, but I do not think it takes away from your figure in this case.

It looks like you may have used strips of bass or balsa wood for this scene. You could try using plastic strip stock. A wood-like grain can be made by taking rough sandpaper and running it ovet the surface of the plastic.~Gary

that's right gary i used balsa and real wood to make the vignet, my pissing man, the box is also done in real wood , and my latest think "clay kicking" also
i love to work with real wood , but as you say with plastic strips and and sand paper i can try it next time
perhaps it is easier to paint than real wood?
can you give some tips to paint it

The basework is absolute fantastic! The whole idea is good, peacefull and complete different from the "action" stuff!

In the new FIGURE INTERNATIONAL is an interesting HOW TO on painting woods of all kind. Check it out!

As to painting balsa or basswood used in bases, why not use a thin liquid wood stain vs. a paint? Just a suggestion from a non-painter.

All the best,
Dan
