Title: A 1/2" Scale Figure From The Archives
Post by: Ken Hamilton on February 21, 2011, 06:25:09 AM

Russ, if this goes over the line here (...is there one?..) feel free to cut this....

I found some old photos while cleaning the attic yesterday. This is a figure I made a long while
back for an old modeling buddy of mine. She started life as a "Showgirlz" resin figure from "Scale
Equipment Limited". These are scans of those photos:

The figure was substantially modified, so to speak, with automotive body putty....

The hair is individual strands of craft store doll hair.

I had forgotten all about this little project, but remember now how much FUN it was.

Is inappropriate to say that I like her shoes?

Wow! Great job on the hair ... seriously ... and, overall, some rather pleasing figure work. ;)

Predicting that "someone" will now say he still prefers a Cherry 2000 ... but they're getting difficult to find.

Cheers,
Dallas

No, we left that up to you Dallas... ;)

Looks to me like one of Russ' office assistants is out for a bit of peace and quiet, so to speak...

Ken,

I'm presuming you were caught doing the "research" and then had to produce the model to back up your story ;D

The building looks a pretty good bit of modelling as well !

The figure is in good taste. The diorama is questionable. -- Russ
