[Nap]

Hi everyone

This will be my piece to go into the appropriate class in the "Not tonight Josephine" comp

Here is the links to the 3 classes should you wish to enter ( full comp details in the beginners link )

Using of course this 3D sculpt available from Scale Collectables



No prep was needed apart from infilling with putty to take the brass rod for fitment to base

I took some quick pics (natural light is not the best due to poor weather...will get some more done if poss) .....

it's all basecoated I will be painting head separate to allow access to the collar details

..... just starting on the eyes , need to confirm the eye colour !

I do hope we see more members joining In ....plenty of time till early Dec

Have fun with this and the hobby
