The Invisible man

[Ron Tamburrini]

Hi Friend's.

I thought I would do something a little different.I bought this cheap pre coloured snap together kit.

Well what a mistake that was,upon opening the box all I saw was nothing,I thought I had been ripped off but then I put my hand in the box and felt something even though I couldn't see.
I realised that the parts were in the box,no problem I thought.

There were 10 part's in the kit,head arm's torso,shoe's,leg's and hand's.

I managed to feel my way around the part's of the kit before I snapped them together.One really annoying problem I had was that I dropped a part,it took me about 2 hour's to find.My wife had thought I had gone madder than usual because I was running my hand's slowly over the floor and desk.

Having finally managed to put the kit together.I decided to add some ink wash's to add depth to the kit,of course I used invisible ink.I then placed the finished kit on this wooden plinth.

Over all I think I did enjoy doing this kit and would recommend it to anyone interested in this sort of model.
Hope you like.
All the best.
Ralph.

Maybe you should cast more of them and offer the figure on e-Bay.

All the best,
Dan

The choice of the base brings out the artistry and the undoubted talent of yours Ralph!
Although the invisible ink makes it a little glossy i think, or is it the light?
Thank you !!!

 

[swralph]

Thanks for the fun guy's

Now I didn't see that one coming

This is a brilliant example of homeopathic miniaturism. I salute you.

For those who are interested in how it is achieved - here is an example

Ralph, you sly dog you!

This is such an astounding piece that I'm lost for words!

Any 'rivet counter' that dares to make any negative comment about this work of art that has reached the lofty pinnacle of creativity, ought to be slapped up side the head!

Now I am really angry about this as I bought the same kit and look what I got...THE FULLY DRESSED VERSION. I want what SWRALPH got. After all, my moneys as good as his.

 

[swralph]

Very funny.

Still waiting for the kit review! Should be interesting....

 

[Gaudin]

I am sure Jimbo is putting more legs on it as we speak

 

[garyhiggins]

Is he sat there crying his eyes out because you failed to attach parts 11 12 and 13 ? I need an eye test

Now that is classy modelling ...brilliant skin tones and I like the scarf


Thanks for sharing

They would only get recast somewhere!

But I hope a bust version is soon available
