WIP Mike's "Geoff" in Leather from MikeG's ModelCellar Figures

[Mike - The Kiwi]

Simple projects can be the most fun,
especially when a single feature, like leather, defines the final look.

Here’s Geoff, named in honour of legendary pilot & designer Geoffrey De Havilland.
He’s been adapted to fit with a DieselPunk Mosquito racer. More to come...

Sculptor - Mike Good (from 2x Model Cellar figures)
Scales - 1:32 resin (Pea is 1:1)
Medium: Acrylics & Oils

Thoughts?

Wow, lovely to see you back at the bench and posting here Mike. Another fabulous figure, that leather looks so realistic. And it must have taken ages.....

Diesel punk mosquito racer.....? Intriguing......

Beautiful work as always Mike, I've enjoyed watching this come together on patreon. I shared the image with the pea with a friend who asked if it was an apple!

The leather is lovely, makes me want to try something similar soon.

 

[Briggsy]

Cracking, no pun intended, leather work, very realistic.

Cheers Simon

 

[Ned Ricks]

Well done!

Thank you Nigel, yep took a bit of time and was more about challenge of trying to reproduce earlier leather experiments on a bust, in a small scale.
