My new project.

[RKapuaala]

As usual I start with the likeness.

Alfred Hitchcock?

Roger.

No one in particular. Just a large over weight fat man with a passion for cigars and suspense thrillers

Made some progress on the pose.

 

[Dan Morton]

I can almost hear the Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV show opening theme, "Funeral March of a Marionette" by Charles Gounod. Great sculpt!
All the best,
Dan​

 

[RKapuaala]

I have to admit I have been whistling that very theme since I started the project

 

[RKapuaala]

Little more progress. I feel like I'm good with the pose. Maybe a little tweaking later, but enough to move on so I added some shoes and a tie. I'm not certain whether or not to have a bow tie or a regular tie.

Further along.

I originally planed to use 3 buttons but did this test to see if four looks okay. I'm not sure.

 

[RKapuaala]

I adjusted the buttons and I think I'm good to go. Here is a slide show. Feedback on pose, likeness and drapping are always appreciated.

Recieved these prints this morning. I cleaned them up and gave them a coat of gray paint to make the problem areas more visible. I was surprised at how good the quality was. Even details like the button holes on the jacket are visible on the 1:32 scale figure although that figure also needs a little more smothing out than the others. The two larger scales are good to go for the molds except that I need to sharpen the detail in the face a little.

I started painting the first cast a few days ago.
