<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
finally an update!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was blocked by some health issues and then catching back up with real-life work.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But now I finally have some time at hand.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
unfortunately the deadline for the contest (April 8th) is now approaching fast.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm sure I won't be able to enter it painted... :(</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since my last update I did a first test with the hand and staff.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wasn't convinced by the hand, so I took it back off :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I started with the rider's turban.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some of you older ones my know Chris Achilleos' "Harem Guard" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which is an illustration I always loved. So I will try to build my rider in her spirit.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here you can see the initial version of her staff - which I killed quite quickly</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The start of her tunic</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Wolp'er-Tingah got some details, like the stitches,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4dZert4dwmw/XJywSFHkB9I/AAAAAAAAZZw/Nu2LAUXwR9Ei-ugDlNWbX4Iq2tCdGIOXwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2170.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4dZert4dwmw/XJywSFHkB9I/AAAAAAAAZZw/Nu2LAUXwR9Ei-ugDlNWbX4Iq2tCdGIOXwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_2170.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
some tubes,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
more tubes,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and more stitches.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d9Q5mkLCjMQ/XJywS2vRe5I/AAAAAAAAZZ8/5FNG2Zd3Uk0bJT1TA4ktht75pZDRRzf3ACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2173.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d9Q5mkLCjMQ/XJywS2vRe5I/AAAAAAAAZZ8/5FNG2Zd3Uk0bJT1TA4ktht75pZDRRzf3ACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_2173.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I started with her boots and the "skirt"</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5cU_9rX9Jrk/XJywTJJcXHI/AAAAAAAAZaA/UmX6EOY-9RwTPSZSXuYq89Pdls3PRKz4ACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2174.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5cU_9rX9Jrk/XJywTJJcXHI/AAAAAAAAZaA/UmX6EOY-9RwTPSZSXuYq89Pdls3PRKz4ACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_2174.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also worked on the base for the temple</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6YtkiRSC-W4/XJywTY3j2zI/AAAAAAAAZaE/iLQZvHYisTsIQ6DuVv4wjNsWcEqwI0DRgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2615.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6YtkiRSC-W4/XJywTY3j2zI/AAAAAAAAZaE/iLQZvHYisTsIQ6DuVv4wjNsWcEqwI0DRgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_2615.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not very well visible...a bit better in b/w and high contrast</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M6OkUoF-Ygs/XJy060UzHVI/AAAAAAAAZbA/Ktpw97t7okM58WBh8j9O7ZSXz8e6QfXNACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2616-bw.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M6OkUoF-Ygs/XJy060UzHVI/AAAAAAAAZbA/Ktpw97t7okM58WBh8j9O7ZSXz8e6QfXNACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_2616-bw.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also sculpted a column (unfortunately I can't remove the supporting roll without breaking the column...)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ROb4S6HNMUM/XJywTztYIpI/AAAAAAAAZaM/rP143YxtyzckGnvOyUVrdo67shv9kUwEQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2628.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ROb4S6HNMUM/XJywTztYIpI/AAAAAAAAZaM/rP143YxtyzckGnvOyUVrdo67shv9kUwEQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_2628.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While her skirt broke off (it was a mix of SuperSculpey and Greenstuff) I finished the boots, made a new staff and began to sculpt her hand.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A6OVUPNRt8E/XJywUGIgwxI/AAAAAAAAZaQ/2LcVU8GqyCMRRE8CaGTJunNRN7G1XvylgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2631.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A6OVUPNRt8E/XJywUGIgwxI/AAAAAAAAZaQ/2LcVU8GqyCMRRE8CaGTJunNRN7G1XvylgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_2631.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope to have some more images soon.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
in the last post I stopped at the decision point for the monster's head.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The initial idea for the Wolp'er-Tingah* was something close to human. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
*Wolp'er-Tingah - some of my German readers may chuckle, as there is a taxidermist tradition of mixing animals to create a Wolpertinger - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolpertinger">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolpertinger</a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As mentioned in the previous post I was thinking about a human head for the beast.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I quickly sketched some ideas.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First something wage and ghostly</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nUjVB6SpMew/XHUFggxRRnI/AAAAAAAAZUs/w4KhgYdUGwkBFLcJ5oPnGalbL9E_pnKNACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1776.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nUjVB6SpMew/XHUFggxRRnI/AAAAAAAAZUs/w4KhgYdUGwkBFLcJ5oPnGalbL9E_pnKNACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1776.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then a bit more human</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GiPOEpUIxRI/XHUFgjo__OI/AAAAAAAAZU0/N8o7mdv0vtU6ckmjE_PvwxGZ8U__AuATwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1777.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GiPOEpUIxRI/XHUFgjo__OI/AAAAAAAAZU0/N8o7mdv0vtU6ckmjE_PvwxGZ8U__AuATwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1777.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
but even this human version didn't really convince me.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZgpzxWYboo4/XHUFghIqWZI/AAAAAAAAZUw/yojyFdyU-VsGKSDIYjk10NLMw3O9lD21gCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1778.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZgpzxWYboo4/XHUFghIqWZI/AAAAAAAAZUw/yojyFdyU-VsGKSDIYjk10NLMw3O9lD21gCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1778.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I quickly sketched a dragon-style head and left it at that for the night.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cMyZIzhpL0g/XHUFhVio-nI/AAAAAAAAZU4/RJmyd0mz38Eo3xqG_ugTI1BUwxxDlPyHQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1779.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cMyZIzhpL0g/XHUFhVio-nI/AAAAAAAAZU4/RJmyd0mz38Eo3xqG_ugTI1BUwxxDlPyHQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1779.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next day I looked at the options again and decided to take the dragon route.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I added some basic eyes and a gums for the upper jaw</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3k6OggHlXGc/XHUFhva7w3I/AAAAAAAAZU8/p0QRzn9npyM6mRRrD5wCVRz62IDZjF7pACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1783.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3k6OggHlXGc/XHUFhva7w3I/AAAAAAAAZU8/p0QRzn9npyM6mRRrD5wCVRz62IDZjF7pACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1783.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I started to block out the nose and lips</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jCETg-mHT_U/XHUFh9ETqrI/AAAAAAAAZVA/KBc1aO6W6YkbMfaYnwenoph6GBFFpEk7ACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1784.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jCETg-mHT_U/XHUFh9ETqrI/AAAAAAAAZVA/KBc1aO6W6YkbMfaYnwenoph6GBFFpEk7ACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1784.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
some of the cheek lines</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EVL0Ul6lftM/XHUFifRI5VI/AAAAAAAAZVE/YYXpy2ws90g0qfAr2EznQcQv3ME_VkTEgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1785.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EVL0Ul6lftM/XHUFifRI5VI/AAAAAAAAZVE/YYXpy2ws90g0qfAr2EznQcQv3ME_VkTEgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1785.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>

Last night I finally began the rider</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gM7CA07ENis/XHUFtSRw7_I/AAAAAAAAZXg/zUYL6giCM38AszsP3-jIXDLkh5-H6o4zACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1923.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gM7CA07ENis/XHUFtSRw7_I/AAAAAAAAZXg/zUYL6giCM38AszsP3-jIXDLkh5-H6o4zACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1923.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Though my cat wasn't quite pleased with the stinger...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QhMMfd3NA80/XHUFueogYlI/AAAAAAAAZXo/WzxUpc8tG4o5YWEellaSUj425RsF7ze4QCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1943.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QhMMfd3NA80/XHUFueogYlI/AAAAAAAAZXo/WzxUpc8tG4o5YWEellaSUj425RsF7ze4QCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1943.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
...I was able to fix it - with some battle damage 😉</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hqaPNLqdqoI/XHUFuo9bLgI/AAAAAAAAZXs/bSyMkt2YV7cdM9G5wswcAYsL_0MC4w37gCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1944.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hqaPNLqdqoI/XHUFuo9bLgI/AAAAAAAAZXs/bSyMkt2YV7cdM9G5wswcAYsL_0MC4w37gCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1944.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here's the basic shape and pose for the rider</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kjLdwdogAW4/XHUFuhyxCQI/AAAAAAAAZXw/DrzD1rNnlGgptdO856C9Ju6y0-t0RYkJACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1945.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kjLdwdogAW4/XHUFuhyxCQI/AAAAAAAAZXw/DrzD1rNnlGgptdO856C9Ju6y0-t0RYkJACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1945.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hmm...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3maxHE0laio/XHUFvAIpM-I/AAAAAAAAZX0/4vjjVDNWGfgc3E2eqyyWTSXcU5d9JcplACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1946.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3maxHE0laio/XHUFvAIpM-I/AAAAAAAAZX0/4vjjVDNWGfgc3E2eqyyWTSXcU5d9JcplACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1946.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ah, looks better with the reigns</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YpvlqK3N-20/XHUFv0vX-OI/AAAAAAAAZX8/4tE44YhS5u0cxD2wl1FItu4iB5I2DDeGQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1948.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YpvlqK3N-20/XHUFv0vX-OI/AAAAAAAAZX8/4tE44YhS5u0cxD2wl1FItu4iB5I2DDeGQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1948.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this is as far as I got.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What do you think?<br />Comments, suggestions?<br />I look forward to your feedback.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cheers</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
well after looking up some reference material I realized a birds leg would be to spindly and fragile for the Monster.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So a dragon-style leg it is.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fAHuVpUkdEo/XG5vRdO2jII/AAAAAAAAZTM/AGQIUw2ySyUdVUp_49Vxj17L8OVWHMuOACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1707.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fAHuVpUkdEo/XG5vRdO2jII/AAAAAAAAZTM/AGQIUw2ySyUdVUp_49Vxj17L8OVWHMuOACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1707.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once pleased with the shape I applied the dragon skin surface</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eFJX9ZNa9ds/XG5vRamTqRI/AAAAAAAAZTQ/VE98iEcie9gncfs7bLMvfcNjbmUK9ay0wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1709.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eFJX9ZNa9ds/XG5vRamTqRI/AAAAAAAAZTQ/VE98iEcie9gncfs7bLMvfcNjbmUK9ay0wCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1709.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is a rather large front paw</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0emWo0pFCl8/XG5vRUB5nSI/AAAAAAAAZTI/wDLeTPLxJDMj2Tb3RHdxUse7LzSGkISrQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1710.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0emWo0pFCl8/XG5vRUB5nSI/AAAAAAAAZTI/wDLeTPLxJDMj2Tb3RHdxUse7LzSGkISrQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1710.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But in the overall appearance it will balance out.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KB_H1vLAmyA/XG5vSVen0FI/AAAAAAAAZTU/BL4Ew_gHKmYv1uxqk_op0nKycvLpxFtYACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1745.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KB_H1vLAmyA/XG5vSVen0FI/AAAAAAAAZTU/BL4Ew_gHKmYv1uxqk_op0nKycvLpxFtYACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1745.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been asked what I use for the dragon skin pattern.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have a set of hexagon rods into which I drilled small indentations with the hand drill. When I press these into the sculpey it creates a nice reptile skin pattern.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XKdoCulh9mw/XG5vSicxmqI/AAAAAAAAZTY/BfoYgw9btm0jtbkB_QFMXlK5kVuJs9QFwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1746.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XKdoCulh9mw/XG5vSicxmqI/AAAAAAAAZTY/BfoYgw9btm0jtbkB_QFMXlK5kVuJs9QFwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1746.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Looking at the overall appearance again, I decided to beef up the right thigh some more and give it a bit more mass</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nag_OPZB5yU/XG5vSl-BclI/AAAAAAAAZTc/K8elD5zGCpkLECOGdzv4iQLmNwzvE1VxgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1747.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nag_OPZB5yU/XG5vSl-BclI/AAAAAAAAZTc/K8elD5zGCpkLECOGdzv4iQLmNwzvE1VxgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1747.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As Anvildude on DakkaDakka pointed out, the stinger of a scorpion is not pointed down, but rather forward. So I reshaped the stinger.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-69g9sXF-P60/XG5vTIr9CYI/AAAAAAAAZTg/mc4LBMBCfuQZ_eIn0UtnvSinPwN-NGcSQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1748.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-69g9sXF-P60/XG5vTIr9CYI/AAAAAAAAZTg/mc4LBMBCfuQZ_eIn0UtnvSinPwN-NGcSQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1748.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last night I sculpted the left hand, propped up against a pillar</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aRCAiIN7CAY/XG5vTWc0SMI/AAAAAAAAZTk/vdpfR48UyHg9s09LdbqaC-Xk0imJZ0pMgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1749.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aRCAiIN7CAY/XG5vTWc0SMI/AAAAAAAAZTk/vdpfR48UyHg9s09LdbqaC-Xk0imJZ0pMgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1749.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I modeled the appearance to look like sick, wild flesh </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vdV1D_07j7Q/XG5vTrscqLI/AAAAAAAAZTo/UproHIoGQSwghabFLAIAMzIchWVuXQHAQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1750.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vdV1D_07j7Q/XG5vTrscqLI/AAAAAAAAZTo/UproHIoGQSwghabFLAIAMzIchWVuXQHAQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1750.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And since I had nothing better to do with the evening (LIE!) I experimented with some extra scales</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vkvm1r8tiIA/XG5vTyl0koI/AAAAAAAAZTs/SyP5ein__Rs8ddRvZkcVp9YRmUEpP7zFgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1751.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vkvm1r8tiIA/XG5vTyl0koI/AAAAAAAAZTs/SyP5ein__Rs8ddRvZkcVp9YRmUEpP7zFgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1751.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each is formed individually - but I think this was worth it.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gQihelyHdMg/XG5vUPPCeFI/AAAAAAAAZTw/pHPVO416mGkJz3cOuk2c07Q4So_24Qp0wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1752.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gQihelyHdMg/XG5vUPPCeFI/AAAAAAAAZTw/pHPVO416mGkJz3cOuk2c07Q4So_24Qp0wCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1752.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With this most of the creatures body is done</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9YMe2je7CYg/XG5vUQnR7sI/AAAAAAAAZT0/RXpNir_dSfgJQTw-IEgNig-7CalByjBXwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1753.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9YMe2je7CYg/XG5vUQnR7sI/AAAAAAAAZT0/RXpNir_dSfgJQTw-IEgNig-7CalByjBXwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1753.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Still have to do the abdomen and neck, and of course the head </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CzT5m1Q08V0/XG5vUqcr-SI/AAAAAAAAZT4/7udghDDAc9cMxiut_K1IBUULcb-9eYqZgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1754.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CzT5m1Q08V0/XG5vUqcr-SI/AAAAAAAAZT4/7udghDDAc9cMxiut_K1IBUULcb-9eYqZgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1754.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm still tempted to try an aggressive looking human head...</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
sorry for the long silence.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had to interrupt my work on the EREBUS & ALALA diorama for one of my very rare client commissions. Unfortunately the commission went pair shape and now I have to fight for may reimbursement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know why I hate commissions and why I usually don't accept any...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyhow, during the break the "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1114208771968434/" target="_blank">Shiflett Brothers' Sculpting Forum</a>" (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1114208771968434/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/1114208771968434/</a>) announced their new "Monster Rider Challenge" on Facebook.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, you know I love monsters and riders ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So to vent frustration and to gather Mojo to continue the EREBUS & ALALA dio, I decided to join the fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the WIP post (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1114208771968434/2067876766601625/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/1114208771968434/2067876766601625/</a>) you can see a lot of great ideas already!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The initial idea I had was "why not turn things around and make the human the monster?" and my sketch and first armature reflected this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zi6Cga-IOtQ/XGv1gc5V1ZI/AAAAAAAAZRY/qThA9lPRP0Qewlq2nk6mvqungLM4V4CngCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1399.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zi6Cga-IOtQ/XGv1gc5V1ZI/AAAAAAAAZRY/qThA9lPRP0Qewlq2nk6mvqungLM4V4CngCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1399.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A basic human shape kind of running on all fours.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HP5sVFkYlhQ/XGv1gao1TbI/AAAAAAAAZRg/45AlpGIA70o-mqa93MQDal5xRck5jcN5QCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1400.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HP5sVFkYlhQ/XGv1gao1TbI/AAAAAAAAZRg/45AlpGIA70o-mqa93MQDal5xRck5jcN5QCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1400.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Maybe using the right arm to pound something, or to brace on something </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-57SP_tKa-U0/XGv1gnJInSI/AAAAAAAAZRc/Mtz-2RIJhcwz_JZd2NXVER6Tknv94fZowCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1401.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-57SP_tKa-U0/XGv1gnJInSI/AAAAAAAAZRc/Mtz-2RIJhcwz_JZd2NXVER6Tknv94fZowCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1401.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted to have something dynamic</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m8glMu85iOw/XGv1hPbz1TI/AAAAAAAAZRk/dUr6nWII35YWDITPVhYsbJBVIEeiBbXwQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1402.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m8glMu85iOw/XGv1hPbz1TI/AAAAAAAAZRk/dUr6nWII35YWDITPVhYsbJBVIEeiBbXwQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1402.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, dynamic it looked </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9J1217l7_K8/XGv1hodPnKI/AAAAAAAAZRo/q8EH7jnXOXcKwRNOFf8gZN7-INatnVsnQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1403.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9J1217l7_K8/XGv1hodPnKI/AAAAAAAAZRo/q8EH7jnXOXcKwRNOFf8gZN7-INatnVsnQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1403.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But after a nights sleep I realized that the upper torso was twisted way to much to picture a believable rider situation.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I twisted the torso back and therefore twisted the right arm further back and up.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UYzz4-Dn_1E/XGv1h355VAI/AAAAAAAAZRs/62OiaAKgyFkk-CMZPtqhIc3H4iCFxbATgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1433.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UYzz4-Dn_1E/XGv1h355VAI/AAAAAAAAZRs/62OiaAKgyFkk-CMZPtqhIc3H4iCFxbATgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1433.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This looked better, but somehow not so convincing to me.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gLpOn4g6mLY/XGv1iFI_SqI/AAAAAAAAZRw/wWDLaXNdnC8sVxtIXscrd4ttUbcvRlYJQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1435.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gLpOn4g6mLY/XGv1iFI_SqI/AAAAAAAAZRw/wWDLaXNdnC8sVxtIXscrd4ttUbcvRlYJQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1435.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Letting it sit for two days and playing some ideas out, I decided "not a real human".</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had a kind of Frankensteinish idea...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some more thinking about a nightmare composed of various creatures.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So "it" received some different legs</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qXT2lFsuxmQ/XGv1ifRxgKI/AAAAAAAAZR0/NPM8dBnh7NgbAk9DD9FydlXeDeFpNBhWQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1449.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qXT2lFsuxmQ/XGv1ifRxgKI/AAAAAAAAZR0/NPM8dBnh7NgbAk9DD9FydlXeDeFpNBhWQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1449.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
still not convincing - especially since I originally had a chicken leg and a bull leg planned - imagine that walking :P</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3GfpSGJfrcU/XGv1i9g8cmI/AAAAAAAAZR4/LJYPhUAKLDY2ZiSJsisuSg6rdfKMBR-TgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1450.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3GfpSGJfrcU/XGv1i9g8cmI/AAAAAAAAZR4/LJYPhUAKLDY2ZiSJsisuSg6rdfKMBR-TgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1450.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
About to give up I left it alone for another two nights and then came up with this approach </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dsczUXpA08k/XGv1i5yFKPI/AAAAAAAAZR8/kZzzxVS7WaACcro6wH9Y9Va7YolrRoyGQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1474.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dsczUXpA08k/XGv1i5yFKPI/AAAAAAAAZR8/kZzzxVS7WaACcro6wH9Y9Va7YolrRoyGQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1474.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
bulls legs and a scorpion tail.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zipVC8SsUYI/XGv1jN1w4aI/AAAAAAAAZSA/8CVBpg9QWyEUPdGJNPivE0N9x0wOmhwJACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1475.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zipVC8SsUYI/XGv1jN1w4aI/AAAAAAAAZSA/8CVBpg9QWyEUPdGJNPivE0N9x0wOmhwJACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1475.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The upper torso remained for the time being</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jHNrMl98DV0/XGv1jZDp44I/AAAAAAAAZSE/wDhK3d6IgLA78T5YNTNF28OynoSWoZdngCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1476.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jHNrMl98DV0/XGv1jZDp44I/AAAAAAAAZSE/wDhK3d6IgLA78T5YNTNF28OynoSWoZdngCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1476.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not as dynamic as the initial concept, but still OK I think.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CMR5vdmsYXQ/XGv1jgwFRvI/AAAAAAAAZSI/ioFh79uYOa0BplefAqt7eSnHHNvo4gl0wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1477.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CMR5vdmsYXQ/XGv1jgwFRvI/AAAAAAAAZSI/ioFh79uYOa0BplefAqt7eSnHHNvo4gl0wCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1477.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I settled for that approach and burned the basic shape.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I kept the Frankenstein idea and now I have human-ish thighs and bulls lower legs</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-46aAV6m5ew0/XGv1jyi7YnI/AAAAAAAAZSM/fZyA8Nkm-mgjCvnhOLQaJ396ZYIs8AhbgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1627.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-46aAV6m5ew0/XGv1jyi7YnI/AAAAAAAAZSM/fZyA8Nkm-mgjCvnhOLQaJ396ZYIs8AhbgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1627.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also added stitching holes and deep wounds</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IS9rC-H8CVk/XGv1kPJkGpI/AAAAAAAAZSQ/WNB2gYnsj_0SkikZ87a6OO3oLZUa7yoMgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1628.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IS9rC-H8CVk/XGv1kPJkGpI/AAAAAAAAZSQ/WNB2gYnsj_0SkikZ87a6OO3oLZUa7yoMgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1628.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To emphasize the cobbled together nightmare, I exaggerated the upper arm, and it will get birds feet</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q8eYWD5XE7Q/XGv1kexmrDI/AAAAAAAAZSU/5WMrNwu3khASVohQ0VQARhSU0bVA5jPewCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1629.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q8eYWD5XE7Q/XGv1kexmrDI/AAAAAAAAZSU/5WMrNwu3khASVohQ0VQARhSU0bVA5jPewCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1629.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hmm, could work out...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fYhuWmDinrA/XGv1klG-Q_I/AAAAAAAAZSY/-1tvl-JjrMwLYFb3_ML4YsTqIHBa3pVTACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1630.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fYhuWmDinrA/XGv1klG-Q_I/AAAAAAAAZSY/-1tvl-JjrMwLYFb3_ML4YsTqIHBa3pVTACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1630.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next I decided to add some dragon-skin on the back</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g3a8GXkDtBw/XGv1k0WRTvI/AAAAAAAAZSc/_CzRjQDy9DM5QePL72X2-9F4mye6rtj6wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1631.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g3a8GXkDtBw/XGv1k0WRTvI/AAAAAAAAZSc/_CzRjQDy9DM5QePL72X2-9F4mye6rtj6wCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1631.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see I'm "flying by the seat of my pants" again and am free-styling the pieces </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YakZ88Uk3ws/XGv1lP11_RI/AAAAAAAAZSg/EVdZBhyLHyMBFNkuLFg-w4O5FhMLrF2EgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1632.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YakZ88Uk3ws/XGv1lP11_RI/AAAAAAAAZSg/EVdZBhyLHyMBFNkuLFg-w4O5FhMLrF2EgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1632.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last night I did the scorpions tail</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nF7Nnhrx66w/XGv1lfhbBmI/AAAAAAAAZSk/jZdiQ0ypLWclhW4P7L3A5Dwln8uc_UoqgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1679.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nF7Nnhrx66w/XGv1lfhbBmI/AAAAAAAAZSk/jZdiQ0ypLWclhW4P7L3A5Dwln8uc_UoqgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1679.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The underside has dragon skin and the upper side armor plates</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zg_XVNH6L0k/XGv1lu_TFbI/AAAAAAAAZSo/4HgKY83-7P44hIodxZWuweqrmF_6Hc3LwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1680.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zg_XVNH6L0k/XGv1lu_TFbI/AAAAAAAAZSo/4HgKY83-7P44hIodxZWuweqrmF_6Hc3LwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1680.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The situation I have now settled for is "it" stamping forward using his left arm to push itself off a pillar and the rider urging it forward.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4y53btzdMeM/XGv1l65q0_I/AAAAAAAAZSs/g-Zd_zlkuVMt3KUKuWMdMYOu9NIguHSBwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1681.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4y53btzdMeM/XGv1l65q0_I/AAAAAAAAZSs/g-Zd_zlkuVMt3KUKuWMdMYOu9NIguHSBwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_1681.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have to admit that I'm still pulling blanks when I think about the head of the beast....</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The lower legs will be birds/dragon feet.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, this is as far as I got.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cheers</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
thank you for the feedback, comments and suggestions!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since the last update I added metal grilles to the storage compartments.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-18-ZZwVFo6k/XD2oAO6nO3I/AAAAAAAAZPo/l0WRhOpHXFIH-8vcq3fbMWeT6MYoxVsWQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0675.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-18-ZZwVFo6k/XD2oAO6nO3I/AAAAAAAAZPo/l0WRhOpHXFIH-8vcq3fbMWeT6MYoxVsWQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0675.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And as some of you pointed out, I forgot to add footing to the ramp. So I added these plastic strips. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I_O3K-ZixF8/XD2n_2u2DAI/AAAAAAAAZPk/H1B0jbufukMtg5b2MJkjw1tZqH-9pi8_gCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0676.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I_O3K-ZixF8/XD2n_2u2DAI/AAAAAAAAZPk/H1B0jbufukMtg5b2MJkjw1tZqH-9pi8_gCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0676.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With the updated ramp and storage grilles it is pretty much done :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XZoNhWctjYs/XD2n__kQqhI/AAAAAAAAZPg/0Ok6wKnYlQUWOvhQZoWIlvCNdnHAJcInwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0677.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XZoNhWctjYs/XD2n__kQqhI/AAAAAAAAZPg/0Ok6wKnYlQUWOvhQZoWIlvCNdnHAJcInwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0677.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So it was time to look at the actual scene.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My intention is to do another painted background to give the scene more depth</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7XnTS2_vg8U/XD2oBIBmJkI/AAAAAAAAZPw/BsrP2JpEfLUBU86rwUh-XeITcSPmZJW8wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0709.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7XnTS2_vg8U/XD2oBIBmJkI/AAAAAAAAZPw/BsrP2JpEfLUBU86rwUh-XeITcSPmZJW8wCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0709.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And to make it more interesting I also added some height to it.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ew-8Qbhzd6I/XD2oBF_lf2I/AAAAAAAAZP0/6Yfu89SjTOwBxbDOu3fSB-M1ZgCI1neTgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0710.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ew-8Qbhzd6I/XD2oBF_lf2I/AAAAAAAAZP0/6Yfu89SjTOwBxbDOu3fSB-M1ZgCI1neTgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0710.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The scene will be an observation post on a ridge line over a valley </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_r72-yMF3u4/XD2oB-I3inI/AAAAAAAAZP4/aon0EElAUHsd1TSyHYk59YBz1y86o_iegCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0711.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_r72-yMF3u4/XD2oB-I3inI/AAAAAAAAZP4/aon0EElAUHsd1TSyHYk59YBz1y86o_iegCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0711.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think this will look pretty cool....hopefully </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UI2UqQiukYU/XD2oCSNuFjI/AAAAAAAAZP8/OcTl2SAjwBUfMXaesWI29ChAdjFkdxVhgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0712.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UI2UqQiukYU/XD2oCSNuFjI/AAAAAAAAZP8/OcTl2SAjwBUfMXaesWI29ChAdjFkdxVhgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0712.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To flesh out the observation post I added two walls - one looking like regular masonry and one like pored concrete</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even though the vehicles will obscure most of the walls</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The actual observation post will be a simple two story pillbox with some sensors and stuff on the roof</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
thank you all for the feedback and comments.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some of you have pointed out, that the low reaching side doors are a hazard - especially in an armored assault, where the ALALA would potentially still be rolling and the doors already open for exiting troops.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even though from the layout the main troop exit would be the rear ramp and the side doors are more for the gunner, commander and driver I do see the point, so...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"It's only a little cut" the doctor said :D</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Actually I do like the new look of the door</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the doors were done I added access panels to the storage compartments</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That evening I also added the rear and secondary lights.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next evening I added sights and sensors</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_aq_gIhoK54/XDhiPYBZbPI/AAAAAAAAZOE/iuLusguq8eATNHSoSTrserKAk0Ccd_UXwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0622.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_aq_gIhoK54/XDhiPYBZbPI/AAAAAAAAZOE/iuLusguq8eATNHSoSTrserKAk0Ccd_UXwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0622.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Including a sight for the driver in case the armor shutters are closed</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rear sights</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Antennae - they are not glued in place yet, that's why they are a bit wobbly</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also added a bunch of small hooks and tie-downs</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5qGnJgVYNRQ/XDhiQoTX8AI/AAAAAAAAZOU/gAk0CW4TakAvx-fj88iU3PVbZ0h5NSkIgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0654.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5qGnJgVYNRQ/XDhiQoTX8AI/AAAAAAAAZOU/gAk0CW4TakAvx-fj88iU3PVbZ0h5NSkIgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0654.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sides of the nose also received ornaments (parchment style)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

beware of a 40 images update :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you are all fine and are now back into a normal working pattern and you're all OK.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used my last vacation days as much as possible, so this is a rather big update.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Continuing from the last update I mounted the last rear wheel and then started to mount the front wheels</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As mentioned I needed to build a different mount to allow steering.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My solution is relatively crude and simple </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
but it works :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dspeuUpHOcc/XDR3CFF7h6I/AAAAAAAAZKc/cuRT0ade_4Y_Xb4AaOmtWQlGZTM6hXpxwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0485.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dspeuUpHOcc/XDR3CFF7h6I/AAAAAAAAZKc/cuRT0ade_4Y_Xb4AaOmtWQlGZTM6hXpxwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0485.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And so the ALALA is now wheeled</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-un6b45ObsNY/XDR3CSgRNEI/AAAAAAAAZKg/m6iYeTNHHrItzpyR1z6tGCy06EPGmoxcgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0486.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-un6b45ObsNY/XDR3CSgRNEI/AAAAAAAAZKg/m6iYeTNHHrItzpyR1z6tGCy06EPGmoxcgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0486.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and ready for completion.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e8CaET6d7eg/XDR3CwgIOWI/AAAAAAAAZKk/Umg8FqEiqLsCb46Cu-J_fgBuFyqNbcilQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0487.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e8CaET6d7eg/XDR3CwgIOWI/AAAAAAAAZKk/Umg8FqEiqLsCb46Cu-J_fgBuFyqNbcilQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0487.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To protect the front axle I added another armor plate </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-35zqZ4lgjO8/XDR3CxSAqHI/AAAAAAAAZKo/tD5Ot1HRUSQdtn8Ydj_3Zm-9SoQGBWPhwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0489.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-35zqZ4lgjO8/XDR3CxSAqHI/AAAAAAAAZKo/tD5Ot1HRUSQdtn8Ydj_3Zm-9SoQGBWPhwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0489.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next was then the first side door</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_-vaWyXMMpQ/XDR3DafrdKI/AAAAAAAAZKs/S5g_212hRm0IX4jF_il0-sDLsIOH3A0KACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0493.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_-vaWyXMMpQ/XDR3DafrdKI/AAAAAAAAZKs/S5g_212hRm0IX4jF_il0-sDLsIOH3A0KACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0493.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the diorama it will be open</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HkYMym0Xa5I/XDR3DootLqI/AAAAAAAAZKw/SnH9FTxoRRMG8lMQQ4rZbuz3zR9rsEmkwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0494.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HkYMym0Xa5I/XDR3DootLqI/AAAAAAAAZKw/SnH9FTxoRRMG8lMQQ4rZbuz3zR9rsEmkwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0494.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
so I added steps to it</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fxV6TVaGyQE/XDR3D7_UXnI/AAAAAAAAZK0/GoJbHqBpzrwzOehJzwa7V0-P2HGZjA6KQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0495.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fxV6TVaGyQE/XDR3D7_UXnI/AAAAAAAAZK0/GoJbHqBpzrwzOehJzwa7V0-P2HGZjA6KQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0495.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and made sure it can still be closed.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pg1mAPAxyRg/XDR3ELQ8WCI/AAAAAAAAZK4/s6DPwuDXh14cblz3h0co49G0_t5_1sPzACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0496.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pg1mAPAxyRg/XDR3ELQ8WCI/AAAAAAAAZK4/s6DPwuDXh14cblz3h0co49G0_t5_1sPzACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0496.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I added a frame around it</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zhhxuXTvh1c/XDR3E-BB8fI/AAAAAAAAZK8/rVTD_DHqGesuGEylzcq8EC5rCqnIIdw4ACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0497.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zhhxuXTvh1c/XDR3E-BB8fI/AAAAAAAAZK8/rVTD_DHqGesuGEylzcq8EC5rCqnIIdw4ACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0497.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and repeated everything on the other side.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yxvkeJdnUZ8/XDR3FXHXKDI/AAAAAAAAZLA/-3R654qzrOcq0QK9WmwY-kHd8i50dtaswCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0498.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yxvkeJdnUZ8/XDR3FXHXKDI/AAAAAAAAZLA/-3R654qzrOcq0QK9WmwY-kHd8i50dtaswCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0498.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With the side doors completed I started the rear ramp</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k1IQY7CTAAA/XDR3FiDuYoI/AAAAAAAAZLE/WmOJFkLHQ-cBTl_OKLM4UmnjW0fscOl3wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0512.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k1IQY7CTAAA/XDR3FiDuYoI/AAAAAAAAZLE/WmOJFkLHQ-cBTl_OKLM4UmnjW0fscOl3wCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0512.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This will also be open in the diorama.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Lh8cm5nEX4s/XDR3Fxe8_dI/AAAAAAAAZLI/4M7gC80J1Q0O9gVJtd0qNsWLoCL-_8yKgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0513.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Lh8cm5nEX4s/XDR3Fxe8_dI/AAAAAAAAZLI/4M7gC80J1Q0O9gVJtd0qNsWLoCL-_8yKgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0513.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The following evening I sanded the doors and frames.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c3QrCtZj8z8/XDR3GcL1yfI/AAAAAAAAZLM/-RWO7ZF1OZwTw6lBRaCURdpl-JOnpUZLwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0514.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c3QrCtZj8z8/XDR3GcL1yfI/AAAAAAAAZLM/-RWO7ZF1OZwTw6lBRaCURdpl-JOnpUZLwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0514.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the drivers cabin I had to include the windows</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yTNSq8d0v4A/XDR3Gp9xl8I/AAAAAAAAZLQ/1jBTQuewXvYPi-26C2zZiXs9hPc2sRibACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0522.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yTNSq8d0v4A/XDR3Gp9xl8I/AAAAAAAAZLQ/1jBTQuewXvYPi-26C2zZiXs9hPc2sRibACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0522.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not sure if it will ever be visible that there is clear plastic...especially after adding the armor shutters.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JjKKF6bqsco/XDR3G0F5rJI/AAAAAAAAZLU/DLv7nq_VLxorcQrZ7hBKPJn3Ja142sh1wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0523.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JjKKF6bqsco/XDR3G0F5rJI/AAAAAAAAZLU/DLv7nq_VLxorcQrZ7hBKPJn3Ja142sh1wCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0523.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since I didn't really fancy the large armor plate for the front, I replaced the steering protection with a smaller armor plate</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-02I2Xil0n-g/XDR3HDGEdeI/AAAAAAAAZLY/UquQvz6kzicnm4OcVxOjRRyZ7Tk8Nz-uwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0524.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-02I2Xil0n-g/XDR3HDGEdeI/AAAAAAAAZLY/UquQvz6kzicnm4OcVxOjRRyZ7Tk8Nz-uwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0524.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think this looks better now </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even though the ALALA has large storage compartments on the inside, I still added storage racks to the outside</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-upGT9TU-ZzA/XDR3IAHdfhI/AAAAAAAAZLk/d39SS5Qw4kQQkn0KdAzEWbggxlk5lPhEgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-upGT9TU-ZzA/XDR3IAHdfhI/AAAAAAAAZLk/d39SS5Qw4kQQkn0KdAzEWbggxlk5lPhEgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0529.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They just add a bit more flavor - especially once equipment will be stored in them</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hG4t4fjGIF0/XDR3IdhdNBI/AAAAAAAAZLo/z5w-20kxXTASMlUZCZZzNWrb3SwKsbKXACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0530.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hG4t4fjGIF0/XDR3IdhdNBI/AAAAAAAAZLo/z5w-20kxXTASMlUZCZZzNWrb3SwKsbKXACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0530.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The following evening I began to build the armament for the ALALA.<br />Instead of a MG it will be armed with a Automatic Grenade launcher (AGL), like the US Mk19.<br />The mount is a bit stronger than for the MG</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D1DkkRYT9sg/XDR3IgawIRI/AAAAAAAAZLs/EVc4Soctlr4gk3xo3NYZL2bLbf560R2wACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0531.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D1DkkRYT9sg/XDR3IgawIRI/AAAAAAAAZLs/EVc4Soctlr4gk3xo3NYZL2bLbf560R2wACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0531.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since some of you were asking for more build images when I did the MG, here are some images of the AGL build.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First I glued some sheets of plastic card together (5x15mm)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1K2rGz4GXE0/XDR3JHL_8oI/AAAAAAAAZLw/JoFscDI3nnwA4fT1uWts5wb5Kz2tzrmSACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0532.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1K2rGz4GXE0/XDR3JHL_8oI/AAAAAAAAZLw/JoFscDI3nnwA4fT1uWts5wb5Kz2tzrmSACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0532.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the barrel I wanted to have a muzzle break, and since the next bigger piece of pipe would be to thick, I wrapped a thin strip of .25mm plastic card around it.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rYqZdu-yknY/XDR3JPPeUEI/AAAAAAAAZL0/Sw-vG_8Y_Vo9aJeDQ3yj_00eBS7Krq8kgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0533.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rYqZdu-yknY/XDR3JPPeUEI/AAAAAAAAZL0/Sw-vG_8Y_Vo9aJeDQ3yj_00eBS7Krq8kgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0533.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just 2 or 3 layers are enough</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nednd2UNTJU/XDR3JdjKeTI/AAAAAAAAZL4/V6PK29EA5GEM39BH5iFKFOlYyOB4Hh53wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0534.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nednd2UNTJU/XDR3JdjKeTI/AAAAAAAAZL4/V6PK29EA5GEM39BH5iFKFOlYyOB4Hh53wCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0534.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and for decoration another, thinner strip</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you all had a good time with your family and hopefully some time off work.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had a wonderful time with my wife, family and the cats -despite catching a cold and lots of sniffing :-P</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To finish the interior of the EREBUS I still had to build some seats - for this I used the seats from the HERMES as a sample.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4x6a7mfOvPE/XCZfrIflsaI/AAAAAAAAZH8/cNRPfLSSktgHvPrD8J2Px2zbaIMWTDYrQCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_0135.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4x6a7mfOvPE/XCZfrIflsaI/AAAAAAAAZH8/cNRPfLSSktgHvPrD8J2Px2zbaIMWTDYrQCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_0135.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When glued in place I made them look as if some of the seats were flipped up.</div>

Well, as mentioned I plan to do a diorama. And some of you may remember the PONOS from "<span style="color: blue;"><b><a href="http://fischers-design-shop.blogspot.com/p/orkalypse-now.html" target="_blank">Orkalypse Now</a></b></span>" and that I always wanted to do a wheeled version of it.</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
thank you for your comments and feedback :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Continued from last time I began to create the various lights and sights. For this I have a collection of balls - from left-over GreenStuff - which I then match to the fitting plastic rods, cut to the proper size.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and installed them.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The two vision ports visible here on the rear left are later removed, as this is the engine area - and no one will be using them there ;)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With most of the exterior done (yes, I know, tons of rivets are still missing), I started to build the slide-out interior </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dkxsag9tqFg/XBjigMrcYQI/AAAAAAAAZBc/UoOYK2w3KPY6RAZKFEaa3yLEIyCNk_JHwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0113.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dkxsag9tqFg/XBjigMrcYQI/AAAAAAAAZBc/UoOYK2w3KPY6RAZKFEaa3yLEIyCNk_JHwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0113.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the left is the engine section and in the center the blast wall and door to the turret basket.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UDmh-jd4Dvc/XBjigajI2iI/AAAAAAAAZBg/BUfWYU-QRvs8iKVsyUhniBb-hhrPrU1rwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0114.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UDmh-jd4Dvc/XBjigajI2iI/AAAAAAAAZBg/BUfWYU-QRvs8iKVsyUhniBb-hhrPrU1rwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0114.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To flesh things out, I added a weapons rack, with a little Flamethrower, two assault rifles and two AT-tubes :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ntLqtxxo_8c/XBjigiuWMgI/AAAAAAAAZBk/0nICJt38AVslU6k8PmLWAQ_T1d-cQ1RKQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0115.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ntLqtxxo_8c/XBjigiuWMgI/AAAAAAAAZBk/0nICJt38AVslU6k8PmLWAQ_T1d-cQ1RKQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0115.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not much to see...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But we all know it is there, right?</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, I'm not really sure how much time I will spend on the interior, if so little is to see...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
thank you for the positive feedback and comments!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Continuing form the last post I continued with the engine deck.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Instead of the long grill the other vehicles have decide to give it a turbine look.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I cut a hole into the deck</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IOSTmnzix-c/XBIqa283UYI/AAAAAAAAY88/PovilvZsYhQbuQLm1QZPvW-eG2FxAGiSACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9897.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IOSTmnzix-c/XBIqa283UYI/AAAAAAAAY88/PovilvZsYhQbuQLm1QZPvW-eG2FxAGiSACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9897.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I cut a second thinner, but slightly larger disk and drew the fan blades</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-casQU_yJVxc/XBIqa2xNhdI/AAAAAAAAY80/Y8khZeGb1X42ND8LEbAIcno7ZiUZc0kKwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9898.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-casQU_yJVxc/XBIqa2xNhdI/AAAAAAAAY80/Y8khZeGb1X42ND8LEbAIcno7ZiUZc0kKwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9898.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cut them to about a few millimeters to the center and then carefully twisted them up with a set of tweezers - not careful enough, as one blade broke off</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-14pvrVCJRYk/XBIqa52xqMI/AAAAAAAAY84/3SuFKuRCnHkWoOlFgDVZ3d89cH1PVPrHACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9899.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-14pvrVCJRYk/XBIqa52xqMI/AAAAAAAAY84/3SuFKuRCnHkWoOlFgDVZ3d89cH1PVPrHACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9899.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally I glued the "fan onto a piece of plastic card, re-aligning the blades in the proper angle.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J85KSGlfOWI/XBIqb4n9hpI/AAAAAAAAY9A/g6B2qORSD0UzB9F3-AqyqmG4GwQk37aUgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9900.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J85KSGlfOWI/XBIqb4n9hpI/AAAAAAAAY9A/g6B2qORSD0UzB9F3-AqyqmG4GwQk37aUgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9900.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A set of spacers for the proper distance </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fctxst1qStc/XBIqcMARRKI/AAAAAAAAY9E/_okCDN5SrWE7NANfP4rB-ALUh2mP08dOgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9901.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fctxst1qStc/XBIqcMARRKI/AAAAAAAAY9E/_okCDN5SrWE7NANfP4rB-ALUh2mP08dOgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9901.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then glued in place.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-04ZlSwVZbhQ/XBIqcOeMWvI/AAAAAAAAY9I/UxtadVkz3ZAvFmdHTuniIBu7am2mrknlgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9902.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-04ZlSwVZbhQ/XBIqcOeMWvI/AAAAAAAAY9I/UxtadVkz3ZAvFmdHTuniIBu7am2mrknlgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9902.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To make things complete, I added a cover ring</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rrNFMCIfk4Y/XBIqclzZWNI/AAAAAAAAY9M/gpHemythJy8yho0IHbEf2K759DiWjLCnACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9903.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rrNFMCIfk4Y/XBIqclzZWNI/AAAAAAAAY9M/gpHemythJy8yho0IHbEf2K759DiWjLCnACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9903.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think it will look better, than the original deck - and it is different :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o_dwvApIVG8/XBIqd9PcBBI/AAAAAAAAY9Y/kFausJLFf1U4Oae4hD4kFG1aqktaAf7iQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9906.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o_dwvApIVG8/XBIqd9PcBBI/AAAAAAAAY9Y/kFausJLFf1U4Oae4hD4kFG1aqktaAf7iQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9906.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next I added the drivers hatch and the mounts for the lights</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mZoUn7t3DCI/XBIqdX4D6eI/AAAAAAAAY9Q/KnytucKpbd0GLiH-i9UcCL9asCzq1FtggCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9904.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mZoUn7t3DCI/XBIqdX4D6eI/AAAAAAAAY9Q/KnytucKpbd0GLiH-i9UcCL9asCzq1FtggCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9904.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KnKnFyQDxtw/XBIqdoeknyI/AAAAAAAAY9U/4GSZZGFDmn0XtYRLAy-j4LLwW1asnDrbgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9905.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KnKnFyQDxtw/XBIqdoeknyI/AAAAAAAAY9U/4GSZZGFDmn0XtYRLAy-j4LLwW1asnDrbgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9905.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next up was the hatch for the loader with the MG mount</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BBl9ueUYnrw/XBIqeeSyS2I/AAAAAAAAY9c/zNRgbY9xiuYZW6Lr_R1BandnKYoMiJbRwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9928.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BBl9ueUYnrw/XBIqeeSyS2I/AAAAAAAAY9c/zNRgbY9xiuYZW6Lr_R1BandnKYoMiJbRwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9928.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also added the hatches for the ammo load and cartridge ejection (the little round one) as well as access panels</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L0YFpetE9ig/XBIqei4tL9I/AAAAAAAAY9g/FTNRcIh4CocpjjtZHLzjhTLPY6ys0YziACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9929.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L0YFpetE9ig/XBIqei4tL9I/AAAAAAAAY9g/FTNRcIh4CocpjjtZHLzjhTLPY6ys0YziACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9929.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last not least I added the front lights and the closed commanders cupola</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WT9th2iAZsA/XBIqeipCN8I/AAAAAAAAY9k/ZTii1KxRpTAhg8YoXVDDK0tG7yUMkKaPQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9930.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WT9th2iAZsA/XBIqeipCN8I/AAAAAAAAY9k/ZTii1KxRpTAhg8YoXVDDK0tG7yUMkKaPQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9930.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Still a lot of detailing, hatches, sights and lights to do </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zTbRvoPoE_Q/XBIqeyGmVkI/AAAAAAAAY9o/Q5foxXfWiVE2HlC1e2A5519BH-gP2PGZQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9931.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zTbRvoPoE_Q/XBIqeyGmVkI/AAAAAAAAY9o/Q5foxXfWiVE2HlC1e2A5519BH-gP2PGZQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9931.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, that's as far as I got.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Continuing with the build, I fleshed out the track skirts with some additional angled armor. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Probably a bit heavier than I had originally envisioned,</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
but I think the proportions work.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next I assembled the road-wheels so generously gifted by Massimo.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aTEBfEOa358/XA-tyL9uQeI/AAAAAAAAY64/pZIwdEPqBm4LgpDB39NVghWkQaked1z8QCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9692.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aTEBfEOa358/XA-tyL9uQeI/AAAAAAAAY64/pZIwdEPqBm4LgpDB39NVghWkQaked1z8QCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9692.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is how I planned to mount them.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rbKEdqn-yBY/XA-tyDAQm7I/AAAAAAAAY60/aTRrHGHAqxoeW9_zeoZVXs7H66lA3Mk6ACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9693.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rbKEdqn-yBY/XA-tyDAQm7I/AAAAAAAAY60/aTRrHGHAqxoeW9_zeoZVXs7H66lA3Mk6ACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9693.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Massimo told me he didn't really like the MiniArt tracks and prefers the Trumpeter tracks, as he had some issues assembling the tracks to be "workable"</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tkGT0BSlw4A/XA-tyYmPgkI/AAAAAAAAY68/gdhWbdAbr-Q7-ztqDG_mV3dUO-gKm_PQgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9694.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tkGT0BSlw4A/XA-tyYmPgkI/AAAAAAAAY68/gdhWbdAbr-Q7-ztqDG_mV3dUO-gKm_PQgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9694.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, after a few tries I do agree with Massimo.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These tracks are a pain in the A**.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R-0WPK8-Y5I/XA-ty-V8JDI/AAAAAAAAY7A/MCQKXVt-23gE3yDW_ltUb2UoXbROjgBuwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9695.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R-0WPK8-Y5I/XA-ty-V8JDI/AAAAAAAAY7A/MCQKXVt-23gE3yDW_ltUb2UoXbROjgBuwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9695.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The pins are too soft and have no working catch - they fall out again.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Do you guys have any experience with these tracks?</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While pondering the tracks issue I cut the mounts for the wheels with my trusted "Chopper"</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bNq13thMzSg/XA-tzZNoXgI/AAAAAAAAY7E/yz1yvBELTj4VKxZZlD1qtYV0hSBuSDNCgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9696.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bNq13thMzSg/XA-tzZNoXgI/AAAAAAAAY7E/yz1yvBELTj4VKxZZlD1qtYV0hSBuSDNCgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9696.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To keep the wheels properly aligned and straight I pinned them onto a strip of plastic card.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aXzpRMDBvlg/XA-t0LP3obI/AAAAAAAAY7I/J3_ictbVXyAItL80scrzS6cWuWhMS_JZACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9785.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aXzpRMDBvlg/XA-t0LP3obI/AAAAAAAAY7I/J3_ictbVXyAItL80scrzS6cWuWhMS_JZACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9785.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With this I can ensure they are straight and aligned while the glue cures.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zc9lD6cnl4U/XA-t0jAlTOI/AAAAAAAAY7Q/nz895lUdxPQWWjndyjPE0Kr724eecF6AQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9786.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zc9lD6cnl4U/XA-t0jAlTOI/AAAAAAAAY7Q/nz895lUdxPQWWjndyjPE0Kr724eecF6AQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9786.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But when mounting the track skirts I realized it was all too low.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-M2sxXZxebfE/XA-t0oLeyvI/AAAAAAAAY7M/Q5TKW2jnr5cCUMrOSz2JdzG0NHmpdCAugCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9787.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-M2sxXZxebfE/XA-t0oLeyvI/AAAAAAAAY7M/Q5TKW2jnr5cCUMrOSz2JdzG0NHmpdCAugCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9787.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The wheels sit too high on the hull </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uPPF0Edq-xg/XA-t0uVcbzI/AAAAAAAAY7U/wMqU4ePvDMkw3jVDL5LatazM_bE1MWsxACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9788.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uPPF0Edq-xg/XA-t0uVcbzI/AAAAAAAAY7U/wMqU4ePvDMkw3jVDL5LatazM_bE1MWsxACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9788.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This isn't looking good.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j6Ylp2IFIYU/XA-t1HUp-GI/AAAAAAAAY7Y/vhehMZ-rJ9MXri7XgttgLrGZdUHsVxzcACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9789.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j6Ylp2IFIYU/XA-t1HUp-GI/AAAAAAAAY7Y/vhehMZ-rJ9MXri7XgttgLrGZdUHsVxzcACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9789.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I mounted "axles" beneath the hull and cut supports to hold them in place</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9oUYpiRpRcQ/XA-t1o9B4NI/AAAAAAAAY7c/RsSveoX43hkuQGaxnLvZ2mXPs8w34tAJQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9790.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9oUYpiRpRcQ/XA-t1o9B4NI/AAAAAAAAY7c/RsSveoX43hkuQGaxnLvZ2mXPs8w34tAJQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9790.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This looks better now</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Db8IEMAiDdM/XA-t1lh2NuI/AAAAAAAAY7g/nF-Z87BfZi8TNvxRqI_MI-UlxEIi6vQTQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9792.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Db8IEMAiDdM/XA-t1lh2NuI/AAAAAAAAY7g/nF-Z87BfZi8TNvxRqI_MI-UlxEIi6vQTQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9792.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The wheels now have the proper height ratio to the vehicle and skirts </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ANlQzmzo7nk/XA-t1-HUx_I/AAAAAAAAY7k/87U_tvnZ6R4PVay52Ky3eXQGdXadckV8wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9793.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ANlQzmzo7nk/XA-t1-HUx_I/AAAAAAAAY7k/87U_tvnZ6R4PVay52Ky3eXQGdXadckV8wCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9793.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After chatting again with Massimo and realizing that I have glued wheels - which means "workable" tracks are non-sense anyway - I simply glued the tracks together and mounted them.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2ffCtOpQRqE/XA-t2LBZZiI/AAAAAAAAY7o/0E1DvpJ4troowFd1GUOfucv-OoPpZUGcgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9828.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2ffCtOpQRqE/XA-t2LBZZiI/AAAAAAAAY7o/0E1DvpJ4troowFd1GUOfucv-OoPpZUGcgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9828.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Starts to look like a tank.</div>

With a nice rear 😉</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And so it was time to mount the main gun</div>

When looking at modern tanks, like say the Challenger, I think the ratio of the gun is good.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Strap in! This is a large update today with 44 images :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Continuing from the last update I wanted to close the hull section. But before i could do this, I wanted to have a removable piece that I can use to build out the interior.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4v0AiqQdtdg/XAaJU2UMHzI/AAAAAAAAY6E/JtsJpB9OmjgM-zW-DZjDaDElM456NSIWwCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9581.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4v0AiqQdtdg/XAaJU2UMHzI/AAAAAAAAY6E/JtsJpB9OmjgM-zW-DZjDaDElM456NSIWwCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_9581.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this is currently just 2 simple walls and a floor that I can slide in and out of the hull</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FwZFOvem4xo/XAaJVdWEHWI/AAAAAAAAY54/QfQ0Kk-ZIUEB1erZFznMg8EHcWq3aYIqgCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9582.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FwZFOvem4xo/XAaJVdWEHWI/AAAAAAAAY54/QfQ0Kk-ZIUEB1erZFznMg8EHcWq3aYIqgCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_9582.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With this in place I could finally close the hull and fill gaps and sand it smooth. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With this the basic hull was done.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And the interior does still slide in and out easily </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The other vehicles of this family use 1:35 T-55/54 road-wheels and tracks. But as usual I'm trying to do as much as possible from scratch.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this I glued together a stack of discs of plastic card</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z_faDTIfAjE/XAaJW3_tpaI/AAAAAAAAY6M/r-a3NUrUiS4bOo2Lpn8mB_n9OZK3Wb8LgCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9587.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z_faDTIfAjE/XAaJW3_tpaI/AAAAAAAAY6M/r-a3NUrUiS4bOo2Lpn8mB_n9OZK3Wb8LgCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_9587.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I wrapped a strip of .5mm plastic card around it </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To make things smooth, I mounted this onto my drill </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After running this over the sanding block it looks really nice and smooth </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With some nuts and bolts it is done!</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Would be ready for molding and casting</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It looks nice, but putting it besides the existing vehicle, it is a bit on the large side...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I gave it another try this time smaller</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The end result is also very cool - I think :)</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Luckily my friend Massimo from Italy was so generous to send me a brand new set of T-55 wheels and tracks from MiniArt - THANK YOU Massimo!<br />
This tank will proudly carry your name on the turret :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With the hull squared away I started to work on the turret.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this I built two discs and spaced them</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and wrapped a strip of plastic card around it - giving me the base for the turret.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then i cut the base shape for the turret </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The turret will not show any interior, so really simple building here.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Applying the actual armor sheets was a pain in the butt and I had to sand a lot...</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But in the end it looks pretty much the way I had intended</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Looking at the hull with the turret on, I realized something was wrong...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made (again) a measurement mistake and the hull is too high!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I built another hull (1 evening), this time lower </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So for this new hull I need the interior option again, so another slide in-out tray</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Jixf_P_9Xwk/XAaJiK7Ip_I/AAAAAAAAY6E/BmeCWpKOiLQ1le1Ewh4xgIu9VqjbjJqMQCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9670.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Jixf_P_9Xwk/XAaJiK7Ip_I/AAAAAAAAY6E/BmeCWpKOiLQ1le1Ewh4xgIu9VqjbjJqMQCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_9670.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And I added the rear door to that slide in</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lRIZV4LbsCM/XAaJiRH3OyI/AAAAAAAAY58/3Vu63HLpBnoTaJMRMlNZt1V_60eJGZSrACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9671.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lRIZV4LbsCM/XAaJiRH3OyI/AAAAAAAAY58/3Vu63HLpBnoTaJMRMlNZt1V_60eJGZSrACEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_9671.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With the closed door</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0RJAOzUGd0I/XAaJio2WU9I/AAAAAAAAY6A/lN_8K_rFhSUQKcQi9erZPcBsInyyMeuPwCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9672.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0RJAOzUGd0I/XAaJio2WU9I/AAAAAAAAY6A/lN_8K_rFhSUQKcQi9erZPcBsInyyMeuPwCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_9672.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And the door in the open option </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RWtO5mLsito/XAaJ9mUQ4LI/AAAAAAAAY6Q/KsC9TAVUO54TfsV_caWi5iIewUGTPzs7wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9673.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RWtO5mLsito/XAaJ9mUQ4LI/AAAAAAAAY6Q/KsC9TAVUO54TfsV_caWi5iIewUGTPzs7wCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9673.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And as a outlook I positioned the new turret on the EPIALES hull</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZLkWaxo49zg/XAaJjEGXS7I/AAAAAAAAY6A/58ipdOnD2-UGNpSAgPHduaN-Stk_fRedACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9674.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZLkWaxo49zg/XAaJjEGXS7I/AAAAAAAAY6A/58ipdOnD2-UGNpSAgPHduaN-Stk_fRedACEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_9674.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next up would be the armor sides and skirts.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But since I want to have access to the hull side for mounting the wheels, I designed the basic shape removable again.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1HGCwrao3HU/XAaJjsw-hrI/AAAAAAAAY6I/jO-CrQMdc5s_VqIOBGymxrH8lzUo3smogCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9682.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1HGCwrao3HU/XAaJjsw-hrI/AAAAAAAAY6I/jO-CrQMdc5s_VqIOBGymxrH8lzUo3smogCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_9682.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It can easily slide on and off</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e7rLZ6-flL0/XAaJkDNugII/AAAAAAAAY6M/jdEHKsYGEjAVKAnhn2W4o4BWTmQMeQITgCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9683.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e7rLZ6-flL0/XAaJkDNugII/AAAAAAAAY6M/jdEHKsYGEjAVKAnhn2W4o4BWTmQMeQITgCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_9683.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and i can start fleshing out these sides </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8jbORlx7_HU/XAaJksQzUpI/AAAAAAAAY6M/B6hP1UB0a3ARMkdyVJSDTOKyXSXbPbgMQCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9684.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8jbORlx7_HU/XAaJksQzUpI/AAAAAAAAY6M/B6hP1UB0a3ARMkdyVJSDTOKyXSXbPbgMQCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_9684.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
but am still able to remove them and have access to the hull</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EBQKlO9Slyo/XAaJkx_rC6I/AAAAAAAAY6E/MH9VNQeoS_ArBD4ckw78D-zN6c9x4r2XwCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_9685.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EBQKlO9Slyo/XAaJkx_rC6I/AAAAAAAAY6E/MH9VNQeoS_ArBD4ckw78D-zN6c9x4r2XwCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_9685.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this is as far as I got.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Again a HUGE thanks to Massimo for the wheels and tracks :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
wow, it's been a long time again and another project abandoned...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The year actually started rather good with 4 completed projects (<b><a href="http://fischers-design-shop.blogspot.com/2018/02/ice-warriors-3.html" target="_blank">Ice Warriors</a></b>, <b><a href="http://fischers-design-shop.blogspot.com/2018/03/to-bitter-end-was-new-project-4.html" target="_blank">Bitter End</a></b>, <b><a href="http://fischers-design-shop.blogspot.com/2018/09/gothica-ii-3.html" target="_blank">Gothica II</a></b>, and the <b><a href="http://fischers-design-shop.blogspot.com/2018/09/the-guardian-4.html" target="_blank">Guardian</a></b>), but now towards the mid and end of year I lost most of my Mojo and the "Dragons Den" and "Hermes Air Assault" died a slow and quiet death :(</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But now I feel the itch again.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have a vague idea for a diorama, but it may well change during the build process.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To start I will build another tank - based on the same chassis as the EPIALES and POLEMOS below.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Its called EREBUS - the Greek God of Darkness and Shadow.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
EPIALES </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
POLEMOS</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Based on my old notes I've drawn out the outlines for the hull sides,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gW59ggm6kJI/W_-xYs0KCSI/AAAAAAAAY10/wWEhSf_2AfgJaij4gK3Hd_bgDr3DEeBAQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9568.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gW59ggm6kJI/W_-xYs0KCSI/AAAAAAAAY10/wWEhSf_2AfgJaij4gK3Hd_bgDr3DEeBAQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9568.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and put the basic hull together.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nyOqWiNafAU/W_-xYgRImoI/AAAAAAAAY14/SC2JC8eZHaEmM22xixINIhS98-5KgAKTgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9569.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nyOqWiNafAU/W_-xYgRImoI/AAAAAAAAY14/SC2JC8eZHaEmM22xixINIhS98-5KgAKTgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9569.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After closing the front (and filling gaps with Green Putty) I assembled the fenders and hull sides.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UtPRBaDDXaw/W_-xYR42_QI/AAAAAAAAY1w/zuVt0h4PKaAyJPB_c93slmxhQvfBswdDQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9570.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UtPRBaDDXaw/W_-xYR42_QI/AAAAAAAAY1w/zuVt0h4PKaAyJPB_c93slmxhQvfBswdDQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9570.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the front was sanded and smooth I mounted the fenders.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IOLGH12r4_g/W_-xY7GOEHI/AAAAAAAAY18/9e0O-xy9FxwZNNyCvjMhu1t8Tpqe7JnMgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9571.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IOLGH12r4_g/W_-xY7GOEHI/AAAAAAAAY18/9e0O-xy9FxwZNNyCvjMhu1t8Tpqe7JnMgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9571.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, and this is as far as I got.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GnlCjH40i7I/W_-xZGLEEWI/AAAAAAAAY2A/_3ODrdsOACoN6dQ2LoLJ-EWAMeqg9CwLgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9572.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GnlCjH40i7I/W_-xZGLEEWI/AAAAAAAAY2A/_3ODrdsOACoN6dQ2LoLJ-EWAMeqg9CwLgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9572.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Maybe you can the the pencil marks for "entry". Here I want to leave the option to have the small ramp open and maybe show some interior.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But no promises - only if I feel like :D</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here's the new EREBUS besides the EPIALES</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y0BT3dMCgPs/W_-xZQeS-BI/AAAAAAAAY2E/cOXZj74MphUMlmKy71yytIqTBJD10PJ4ACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9573.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y0BT3dMCgPs/W_-xZQeS-BI/AAAAAAAAY2E/cOXZj74MphUMlmKy71yytIqTBJD10PJ4ACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9573.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D-Lhipj49V8/W_-xZkYmRbI/AAAAAAAAY2I/SXH1gqWHFWQj92b27bnf3_2PFYYmd1L3ACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9574.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D-Lhipj49V8/W_-xZkYmRbI/AAAAAAAAY2I/SXH1gqWHFWQj92b27bnf3_2PFYYmd1L3ACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9574.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also have to look for some more T-54 roadwheels and tracks...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6TS4FLyos9g/W_-xZumm6LI/AAAAAAAAY2M/hUWLv9RCLmwOp0XBMrprgi62jWelbMhvgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9575.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6TS4FLyos9g/W_-xZumm6LI/AAAAAAAAY2M/hUWLv9RCLmwOp0XBMrprgi62jWelbMhvgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9575.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope I can find some cheap ones - or a good alternative.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R8VsZ5OSw4I/W_-xZzqzVzI/AAAAAAAAY2Q/MT14Bs82TZQVS0dC0N70IZjvLhOZWrSHgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9577.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R8VsZ5OSw4I/W_-xZzqzVzI/AAAAAAAAY2Q/MT14Bs82TZQVS0dC0N70IZjvLhOZWrSHgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9577.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If not I would have to think about making it an anti-grav tank...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But that doesn't really fit the fluff used so far.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh well...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this is it for today.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cheers</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
some of you may remember the armed version of my HERMES air transport.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5aUzHFevsPs/W5JF0ghtNEI/AAAAAAAAY1I/SOG2MCUotJ4DVtMU5IdO-iRZB3hSFLfyACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_8710.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5aUzHFevsPs/W5JF0ghtNEI/AAAAAAAAY1I/SOG2MCUotJ4DVtMU5IdO-iRZB3hSFLfyACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_8710.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started this project in July 2016(!) after I completed the ATHENA. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I never completed it.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last week I was sitting in my office, placing the GOTHICA II and The Guardian in the display cabinets and I spotted the HERMES in its unfinished state in the cabinet.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not sure what really sparked it, but suddenly I remembered the movie "6 Days" about the kidnapping in the Iranian Embassy in London...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So how would my Dencarian troops free a Governor?<br />Some may remember a very similar story for the THANATOS ( <a href="http://fischers-design-shop.blogspot.com/2017/10/thanatos-aac-14.html">http://fischers-design-shop.blogspot.com/2017/10/thanatos-aac-14.html</a> )</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided to create a scene where the HERMES delivers a troop of special forces to free a kidnapped Governor...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Maybe in the style of the "Swift, Silent, Deadly"? </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uqF5_EO6ZJI/W5JFzWyj2VI/AAAAAAAAY08/I3me8gEEPIQJ6Ef2_eHLOUN2IjGSL2mrgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7707.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uqF5_EO6ZJI/W5JFzWyj2VI/AAAAAAAAY08/I3me8gEEPIQJ6Ef2_eHLOUN2IjGSL2mrgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7707.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this I first built the rooftop of the embassy</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And then I went to model the first trooper.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He will be standing at the roof access door</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, that's as far as I got.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's a start :)<br />Cheers</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
another project I was finally able to complete was "The Guardian" </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After I was stuck in a deep motivation hole for a while on this project I found my Mojo and completed it :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Enjoy!</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sorry I have neglected this blog - but posting on Facebook and in the forums is quicker and simpler and so the blog was almost forgotten. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I haven't forgotten you :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since the last update I DID finish the GOTHICA and here are the final images.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Enjoy!</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
last night was again tropical without much sleep.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I did spend some time on the hair.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And worked a bit more on the leather armour</div>

The first 2 streamers are now red</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not quite sure if I should make them brighter or leave them in this intensity</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here she is with just the ambient room light - you can see the skin color has a slightly different temperature</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not quite sure what colors the other two streamers will get - maybe green to pick up the color of the gems? Or blue?</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, what do you think?<br />I look forward to your feedback and comments</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
in preparation to the "<a href="https://paintpals.tabletop-minis.de/aktuelle-termine/4-paintpals-wochenende-2018/" target="_blank">PaintPals - Paint Weekend</a>" I decided to give the <a href="http://fischers-design-shop.blogspot.com/2018/01/gothica-6.html" target="_blank">GOTHICA</a> another chance.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Many were rather unhappy with the final paint job - or rather the color setting I had chosen.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since I wasn't sure how far I would get with my "<a href="http://fischers-design-shop.blogspot.com/2018/07/in-dragons-den-8.html" target="_blank">Dragons Den</a>" till the weekend I looked at miniatures to paint.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since I thought I could (hopefully) do better this time, I took the <a href="http://fischers-design-shop.blogspot.com/2018/01/gothica-6.html" target="_blank">GOTHICA</a> out of the display cabinet.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u8wngiDQfeE/W075TxZMYYI/AAAAAAAAYvA/oc2aChKxyi0FOMZTwqT7zI-ndVDrjqdRwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9872.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u8wngiDQfeE/W075TxZMYYI/AAAAAAAAYvA/oc2aChKxyi0FOMZTwqT7zI-ndVDrjqdRwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9872.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since many recommended Isopropanol Alcohol best fro stripping paint, I gave her a thorough bath.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A horrible sight...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SpXyLltXxpo/W075TzsayZI/AAAAAAAAYvI/r41vavJDxQsG-_hxSJrB-yxv-h9cT7PXACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9873.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SpXyLltXxpo/W075TzsayZI/AAAAAAAAYvI/r41vavJDxQsG-_hxSJrB-yxv-h9cT7PXACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9873.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unfortunately Isopropanol isn't as harmless as many said and while leaving the resin unfazed, I softened and partially destroyed the GreenStuff...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-auAkkZcolX0/W075T0J4ujI/AAAAAAAAYvE/6fBPLKyCaN8D6q1AOb1kBPT5ySV9JSrVQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9893.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-auAkkZcolX0/W075T0J4ujI/AAAAAAAAYvE/6fBPLKyCaN8D6q1AOb1kBPT5ySV9JSrVQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9893.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Many of you will remember, that much of the GOTHICA was GreenStuff...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Luckily I was able to fix everything before the PaintPal weekend.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W8iPKvs5gM8/W075Uld9H0I/AAAAAAAAYvM/0_XrQjKulr8CgNlI-5AQmep0XVlK6f1DgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9894.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W8iPKvs5gM8/W075Uld9H0I/AAAAAAAAYvM/0_XrQjKulr8CgNlI-5AQmep0XVlK6f1DgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9894.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some new gems and new streamers</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xUjgEz5neos/W075U4KE_QI/AAAAAAAAYvQ/468MkqFVHYw3ienWByQnObsH7eVM2rLegCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9895.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xUjgEz5neos/W075U4KE_QI/AAAAAAAAYvQ/468MkqFVHYw3ienWByQnObsH7eVM2rLegCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9895.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since I didn't want to touch the freehand on the shield, I masked it before priming</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qfDj_Mc2LPw/W075U7Xq38I/AAAAAAAAYvU/CB5XdJxkEC0ah5SeGC9pv3ToA_JTzyToQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9898.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qfDj_Mc2LPw/W075U7Xq38I/AAAAAAAAYvU/CB5XdJxkEC0ah5SeGC9pv3ToA_JTzyToQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9898.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After priming I added another spray of white to indicate the light situation I'm looking for</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JvbKSbw8lGE/W075VLxdvNI/AAAAAAAAYvY/2BBGP73L0OcTIdI4Zfo5ZBf3PmJWiH7YQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9899.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JvbKSbw8lGE/W075VLxdvNI/AAAAAAAAYvY/2BBGP73L0OcTIdI4Zfo5ZBf3PmJWiH7YQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9899.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think this light situation is better balanced</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5LzEKe0OZcY/W075VVh6ltI/AAAAAAAAYvc/kbLaRAPofrg1XqpIZkNegi69lNvE5E5qwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9913.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5LzEKe0OZcY/W075VVh6ltI/AAAAAAAAYvc/kbLaRAPofrg1XqpIZkNegi69lNvE5E5qwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9913.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But still has some interesting views to offer</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I arrived at the PaintPals Meeting location on Friday afternoon and we immediately began setting up. It was a nice group of 16 with plenty of space - I had a large table for myself - and after some friendly chit chat we began painting.<br />Since I really liked the leather look on the previous version I decided to go for a dark red leather armour again.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QgR8R4mZ5K0/W075Z8oG2dI/AAAAAAAAYvg/6vLfU87Ze9wMNHZlbZZH3x_YMM04KTkWQCLcBGAs/s1600/2EB246E9-AD04-4082-AC59-54BFD537FA91.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="901" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QgR8R4mZ5K0/W075Z8oG2dI/AAAAAAAAYvg/6vLfU87Ze9wMNHZlbZZH3x_YMM04KTkWQCLcBGAs/s320/2EB246E9-AD04-4082-AC59-54BFD537FA91.JPG" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
By now I'm really accustomed to my ScaleColor and the transitions went smooth and easy</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NdPtSFbhVvo/W075a1RmLaI/AAAAAAAAYvw/UutY6kuVx6UEJkaC6FdNfCAE3yksBX0PQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7184.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NdPtSFbhVvo/W075a1RmLaI/AAAAAAAAYvw/UutY6kuVx6UEJkaC6FdNfCAE3yksBX0PQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7184.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Instead of the brownish cape I decided to use red this time</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
with relatively bright highlights.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lCmN_zqfTos/W075bUAEC-I/AAAAAAAAYv4/I6IWvmIdN5ECtzCX812qwtTRCfkkSUkhQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7195.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lCmN_zqfTos/W075bUAEC-I/AAAAAAAAYv4/I6IWvmIdN5ECtzCX812qwtTRCfkkSUkhQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7195.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Together with the shield it looks quite nice</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HhN3TdZwv-s/W075biITtMI/AAAAAAAAYv8/03RcX8nLLi8na4OSxLVYTp7PYfwnaEg0gCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7196.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HhN3TdZwv-s/W075biITtMI/AAAAAAAAYv8/03RcX8nLLi8na4OSxLVYTp7PYfwnaEg0gCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7196.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Initially I planned blue gems as a contrast to the reds of the armour and cape</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But after some feedback by Hansrainer, aka Apok, I recolored them in a dark green.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the same time I started the face. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Vampiric is still the goal, so very pale skin to start with.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But shading almost white is really hard...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ppk-0KSzxYQ/W075cdiB8nI/AAAAAAAAYwM/qbbXOjuLiqktlMhhz_Mw_zmVMZmipr9sQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7209.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ppk-0KSzxYQ/W075cdiB8nI/AAAAAAAAYwM/qbbXOjuLiqktlMhhz_Mw_zmVMZmipr9sQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7209.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While the transitions were smooth and I avoided any "dirty" colors or a 5-o'clock shadow I was totally not pleased.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jCAADOjqHV0/W075cv5koQI/AAAAAAAAYwQ/A9LCfJhJKC0y9h41jHCF___53xX82luogCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7210.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jCAADOjqHV0/W075cv5koQI/AAAAAAAAYwQ/A9LCfJhJKC0y9h41jHCF___53xX82luogCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7210.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So on Sunday at noon - just before packing up - I decided to go for a totally different approach</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NkBtZ282pXQ/W075c-75URI/AAAAAAAAYwU/9ErXXGT_JvwyTNZ_wSw5L7W49q4GZmHcQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7212.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NkBtZ282pXQ/W075c-75URI/AAAAAAAAYwU/9ErXXGT_JvwyTNZ_wSw5L7W49q4GZmHcQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7212.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Back home on Sunday afternoon I continued with her face.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5ZFg_3J6jes/W075dN-SitI/AAAAAAAAYwY/ZLTWfDB4AwgWPH9gIlm2S2UAFon7eK1FwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7221.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5ZFg_3J6jes/W075dN-SitI/AAAAAAAAYwY/ZLTWfDB4AwgWPH9gIlm2S2UAFon7eK1FwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7221.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Again the transition went rather well</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6CMCqVRmLUQ/W075dcoJqdI/AAAAAAAAYwc/qTzOVpAUrgAFGpetPdtzo8mEFZvimgacgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7222.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6CMCqVRmLUQ/W075dcoJqdI/AAAAAAAAYwc/qTzOVpAUrgAFGpetPdtzo8mEFZvimgacgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7222.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With this dark skin the eyes really glow</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OACz471xz3A/W075dcrOhVI/AAAAAAAAYwg/_26Cd4XqUiU8ukCfip4hlO-nEO9v5jK1ACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7223.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OACz471xz3A/W075dcrOhVI/AAAAAAAAYwg/_26Cd4XqUiU8ukCfip4hlO-nEO9v5jK1ACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7223.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Though the freehand on the shield is still displaying a very pale skinned vampire, I think this could work.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RVg4IYaHLQ4/W075eAsuSQI/AAAAAAAAYws/9zY3ABPRXLUJyXc1i_XqSHNWoCBJpkAAwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7226.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RVg4IYaHLQ4/W075eAsuSQI/AAAAAAAAYws/9zY3ABPRXLUJyXc1i_XqSHNWoCBJpkAAwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7226.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To get a bit of distance from the skin I played with the metal of her blade for a few hours</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uPrbQViVBMk/W075fJYin9I/AAAAAAAAYw4/y0nwCnGlTFocdQhlnldaysHuTavSgOgmACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7236.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uPrbQViVBMk/W075fJYin9I/AAAAAAAAYw4/y0nwCnGlTFocdQhlnldaysHuTavSgOgmACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7236.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last night had tropical temperatures and I couldn't sleep, so I spent half the night repainting her face again</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eJE8p5Jpu0c/W075feJIHGI/AAAAAAAAYw8/b5M1BcimD24jsm98vnL-T4s1X9NHkJONgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7243.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eJE8p5Jpu0c/W075feJIHGI/AAAAAAAAYw8/b5M1BcimD24jsm98vnL-T4s1X9NHkJONgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7243.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Together with a first hair-job and the completed jewelry</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TrrY9U7EvII/W075frlYAbI/AAAAAAAAYxA/jcfcMVq-pbkOXEGRsA14k6Wz1ZkyXT9OACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7244.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TrrY9U7EvII/W075frlYAbI/AAAAAAAAYxA/jcfcMVq-pbkOXEGRsA14k6Wz1ZkyXT9OACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7244.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not 100% sure about the hair, but I do like the face now</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vkKC8s75ko0/W075fpy8v7I/AAAAAAAAYxE/wgw29jnaAoUsj7pgnwhBLAMXRBE7t38HQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7245.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vkKC8s75ko0/W075fpy8v7I/AAAAAAAAYxE/wgw29jnaAoUsj7pgnwhBLAMXRBE7t38HQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7245.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this is as far as got </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
with the last update I positioned Lady Tiber for the first time without the cork. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5MF4skd1V8A/W0RyAnLOFyI/AAAAAAAAYtk/-fi22XBdRW4Qbn0z3t9yHMIHkgxsskUZQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9884.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5MF4skd1V8A/W0RyAnLOFyI/AAAAAAAAYtk/-fi22XBdRW4Qbn0z3t9yHMIHkgxsskUZQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9884.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And compared to the previous shots this made a huge difference and Vahidra at the <u><b><a href="http://www.das-bemalforum.de/forumdisplay.php?150-Klaus-not-Santa" target="_blank">Bemalforum</a> </b></u>pointed out that she is now getting almost lost in the scene... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FuRpGM5q3qw/W0RyjXNMmqI/AAAAAAAAYt8/Y9vJhKVsRcszVKyB1np-ViVxTtjrd-ciACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9870.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FuRpGM5q3qw/W0RyjXNMmqI/AAAAAAAAYt8/Y9vJhKVsRcszVKyB1np-ViVxTtjrd-ciACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9870.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I was wondering how I could position her higher and more in focus.<br />My first attempt was a set of stairs - in the same angle as the the columns</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FN1eqbTXmPA/W0Rx5vNlS4I/AAAAAAAAYtI/tUMnbE9VzI41qV5PfJhr4yE6BMAY05G_gCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9886.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FN1eqbTXmPA/W0Rx5vNlS4I/AAAAAAAAYtI/tUMnbE9VzI41qV5PfJhr4yE6BMAY05G_gCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9886.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But with Lady Tiber on it, that doesn't work (at least not without a major re-sculpting)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tNJfsq4DzsQ/W0Rx5ud3MrI/AAAAAAAAYtM/5Bs1ydFF--EC6fPy3XIi96Fi9RLHvkR7ACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9887.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tNJfsq4DzsQ/W0Rx5ud3MrI/AAAAAAAAYtM/5Bs1ydFF--EC6fPy3XIi96Fi9RLHvkR7ACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9887.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
This looks better, so I added rubble around and now it looks as if she's just climbing over the rubble </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally I fixed the backdrop and added some more coins and stuff :) </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since I wasn't sure of the scene layout, I did some re-arranging.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First I looked at re-positioning on a wider board.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oM8wcKDfBTo/Wz86fRoZtHI/AAAAAAAAYsM/fcXrpgHkzdoRXPkpteA75coirUKi8LE4QCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9876.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oM8wcKDfBTo/Wz86fRoZtHI/AAAAAAAAYsM/fcXrpgHkzdoRXPkpteA75coirUKi8LE4QCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9876.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But that didn't improve either, so I rather decided to use the original board, but angle the scene.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With this set-up I have enough space behind the dragon to keep it really in the dark, while casting a bit of light onto the columns. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FrQAEqQdVQ8/Wz86fTNp6hI/AAAAAAAAYsE/yJr9STh_POoq5zJmPnjKsT0oBX2QFwwGgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9879.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FrQAEqQdVQ8/Wz86fTNp6hI/AAAAAAAAYsE/yJr9STh_POoq5zJmPnjKsT0oBX2QFwwGgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9879.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This looks better now and frees me from simulating depth to the side via painting.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pleased with the set-up I started to build the dragon's "stash"</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nM2oTwg83co/Wz86fX36JxI/AAAAAAAAYsI/3gKENiJ3D70EqtG4Va0B2CWFcz4YwAm-ACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9881.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nM2oTwg83co/Wz86fX36JxI/AAAAAAAAYsI/3gKENiJ3D70EqtG4Va0B2CWFcz4YwAm-ACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9881.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And spent an hour of more sculpting the floor plates from GreenStuff...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MQnpkO5LvRo/Wz86f6x_PVI/AAAAAAAAYsQ/JNW0gamBARYOCZrj48u1JL2GxImMhyCIQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9882.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MQnpkO5LvRo/Wz86f6x_PVI/AAAAAAAAYsQ/JNW0gamBARYOCZrj48u1JL2GxImMhyCIQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9882.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the GreenStuff was cured I began to "flesh out" the stash, adding old swords, armour, shields and a few bones, plus lots of (gold) coins.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VQsCfrA2D9k/Wz86gMxO4dI/AAAAAAAAYsU/zck6cjbc1pwZLh9PpPYO4xEkNvEzkKCtACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9883.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VQsCfrA2D9k/Wz86gMxO4dI/AAAAAAAAYsU/zck6cjbc1pwZLh9PpPYO4xEkNvEzkKCtACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9883.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This starts to look like a good dragons stash :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ehXYGyFymiI/Wz86geyj8sI/AAAAAAAAYsc/qEKDtQeGLV8GZ4viAy5Uhvh3BQeFnvmzwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9885.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ehXYGyFymiI/Wz86geyj8sI/AAAAAAAAYsc/qEKDtQeGLV8GZ4viAy5Uhvh3BQeFnvmzwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9885.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And depending on the angle of view, one can even see bits of the Lady's front.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tQ6_THn8GB0/Wz86gX9QRNI/AAAAAAAAYsY/r5gmR4v8leosab3MYk03iGkIa_Tww4EagCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9884.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tQ6_THn8GB0/Wz86gX9QRNI/AAAAAAAAYsY/r5gmR4v8leosab3MYk03iGkIa_Tww4EagCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9884.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm pretty pleased how the scene developed :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I look forward to your comments and suggestions.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cheers</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
despite a digestive virus I have been busy for the last few days :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The legs of the Meacha Dragon were a bit troublesome and so I did several sketches before I was pleased with the design.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-boWjGNXMl8U/WzyDmEh-Q5I/AAAAAAAAYpg/iTD3hrA0o5oeoxPTsOYNm9nXwoetC2O4QCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_6989.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-boWjGNXMl8U/WzyDmEh-Q5I/AAAAAAAAYpg/iTD3hrA0o5oeoxPTsOYNm9nXwoetC2O4QCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_6989.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the start of a rear leg</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GmUOe3ZIlrQ/WzyDpILzUlI/AAAAAAAAYpk/zzZnorIIFlYkq2RS4dfyJ80Z83sCn1XiACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9825.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GmUOe3ZIlrQ/WzyDpILzUlI/AAAAAAAAYpk/zzZnorIIFlYkq2RS4dfyJ80Z83sCn1XiACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9825.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and the corresponding front legs</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8Lx-ZTv7CQI/WzyDpGz0R3I/AAAAAAAAYpo/mMvoE4uDkoY5C_cUDDkJ0CDt1HEcIdOsQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9826.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8Lx-ZTv7CQI/WzyDpGz0R3I/AAAAAAAAYpo/mMvoE4uDkoY5C_cUDDkJ0CDt1HEcIdOsQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9826.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also added tubes and cables to the body - they won't be visible in the end, but we all know they are there ;)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S-dYqEOJdyg/WzyDpBz5wlI/AAAAAAAAYps/dhZz8_MZWvUD7kfBybGYZ7SkqnokgljVgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9827.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S-dYqEOJdyg/WzyDpBz5wlI/AAAAAAAAYps/dhZz8_MZWvUD7kfBybGYZ7SkqnokgljVgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9827.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A posing test...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1HyR-QuCGiE/WzyDphtPKjI/AAAAAAAAYpw/R3TjqagREPUAFNfpdGr3sSboSw20BrDLQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9829.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1HyR-QuCGiE/WzyDphtPKjI/AAAAAAAAYpw/R3TjqagREPUAFNfpdGr3sSboSw20BrDLQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9829.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And the first completed foot</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2T1kUVhzltI/WzyDpyR43cI/AAAAAAAAYp0/8BhoGbupA8YNwvCjJC2PShQPcgjMo79VACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9830.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2T1kUVhzltI/WzyDpyR43cI/AAAAAAAAYp0/8BhoGbupA8YNwvCjJC2PShQPcgjMo79VACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9830.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I want to picture him in mid-stride </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1SDNbU5GKp0/WzyDqZUo24I/AAAAAAAAYp4/GrM2osKKZ-YbVya8WZ9UXyHu83uXGQwUACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9834.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1SDNbU5GKp0/WzyDqZUo24I/AAAAAAAAYp4/GrM2osKKZ-YbVya8WZ9UXyHu83uXGQwUACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9834.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next were scales...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DBaUb3sFCLw/WzyDqw5AI8I/AAAAAAAAYp8/aX3OyWLBjfg0F-6gxl94ChPZ3UVNyqxogCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9835.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DBaUb3sFCLw/WzyDqw5AI8I/AAAAAAAAYp8/aX3OyWLBjfg0F-6gxl94ChPZ3UVNyqxogCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9835.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
OUCH!!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Looks more like a hedge-hog :(</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kZCAY_fIZoE/WzyDrOstaII/AAAAAAAAYqA/cBqkyWhZs_8uIUXMUqOsR3mrgH4xDEowACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9839.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kZCAY_fIZoE/WzyDrOstaII/AAAAAAAAYqA/cBqkyWhZs_8uIUXMUqOsR3mrgH4xDEowACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9839.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I rather went for standard steel plating </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1K3eE7DCYSs/WzyDrfSmymI/AAAAAAAAYqE/iVQ8ptb88uMxcGZCEMSj2KLWKG-awpmbwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9840.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1K3eE7DCYSs/WzyDrfSmymI/AAAAAAAAYqE/iVQ8ptb88uMxcGZCEMSj2KLWKG-awpmbwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9840.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lots of angles to cut</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0Lw42Tp7KYU/WzyDroQI5GI/AAAAAAAAYqI/edBYBtmLzXY77IizaX8YpxKsyLcKh-0IQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9841.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0Lw42Tp7KYU/WzyDroQI5GI/AAAAAAAAYqI/edBYBtmLzXY77IizaX8YpxKsyLcKh-0IQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9841.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But rivets make it look good :D</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q23YxN4mPYA/WzyDr2DjPII/AAAAAAAAYqM/x22gyUxRwhkXB1HlPIIC-Mw0SecnqBEMwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9842.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q23YxN4mPYA/WzyDr2DjPII/AAAAAAAAYqM/x22gyUxRwhkXB1HlPIIC-Mw0SecnqBEMwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9842.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And so I continued for several days to build the plating</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7bhTO4CfZAQ/WzyDsYD0bbI/AAAAAAAAYqQ/yTp6e_rXlPs2x5LihKV2BFOInR_unqy7ACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9848.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7bhTO4CfZAQ/WzyDsYD0bbI/AAAAAAAAYqQ/yTp6e_rXlPs2x5LihKV2BFOInR_unqy7ACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9848.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see here I decided to sculpt the tail rather than cutting tons of tiny pieces </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6MrAnMeWOro/WzyDsss0mgI/AAAAAAAAYqU/TZwgDC0iPa0W14eLIy5IAUdo9SIwWQ9mQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9849.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6MrAnMeWOro/WzyDsss0mgI/AAAAAAAAYqU/TZwgDC0iPa0W14eLIy5IAUdo9SIwWQ9mQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9849.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It took me three days to build a decent mechanical head</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Hz08gyqeWtQ/WzyDs0-NldI/AAAAAAAAYqY/UeGwkmR_q_EMpOr34IiIri2--hBbjrzIQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9850.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Hz08gyqeWtQ/WzyDs0-NldI/AAAAAAAAYqY/UeGwkmR_q_EMpOr34IiIri2--hBbjrzIQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9850.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was so frustrated in between that I didn't take any process images. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4Zu0_mxk9Dw/WzyDs8jVbtI/AAAAAAAAYqc/om7IOaEa51UhmZdX2a89WTzVtmFCkzh1gCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9851.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4Zu0_mxk9Dw/WzyDs8jVbtI/AAAAAAAAYqc/om7IOaEa51UhmZdX2a89WTzVtmFCkzh1gCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9851.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Do I have to make the back wall wider?</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t8IAmSbyHyc/WzyDwYuUVfI/AAAAAAAAYrU/RVnUXIPxuZkrvtcY3lJTGDEFNILtxxaKwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9871.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t8IAmSbyHyc/WzyDwYuUVfI/AAAAAAAAYrU/RVnUXIPxuZkrvtcY3lJTGDEFNILtxxaKwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9871.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I want much of the scene itself to be in "pitch dark", so I'm unsure if I have to extend the rear wall in both directions to generate this...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What do you think?<br />Ideas, suggestions?<br />I look forward to your C&C</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
so with the idea of the night before in mind, I created some ribs or vertebrae in PPT and printed them.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UujW6qkbiJc/WytkfFdvGXI/AAAAAAAAYpI/BM3rQG9W7s8_Fjk-XPI4FwpSeOwElLPkACLcBGAs/s1600/vertabrae.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1395" height="221" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UujW6qkbiJc/WytkfFdvGXI/AAAAAAAAYpI/BM3rQG9W7s8_Fjk-XPI4FwpSeOwElLPkACLcBGAs/s320/vertabrae.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then glued them onto the plastic card with Fix-O-Gum - a temporary glue - and cut them</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yyHZNyl1Pks/WytkMn5FJrI/AAAAAAAAYog/nRhW6-rFjQsBOiJvfGwwOFZO4GiRhWsWwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9819.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yyHZNyl1Pks/WytkMn5FJrI/AAAAAAAAYog/nRhW6-rFjQsBOiJvfGwwOFZO4GiRhWsWwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9819.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After cutting them all out I glued them onto the prepared spinal column</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rpe3HEgz9Qc/WytkMsrL_tI/AAAAAAAAYok/8OpKIjy6a-osd2obcxNpSrNjwzAsgVAuACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9820.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rpe3HEgz9Qc/WytkMsrL_tI/AAAAAAAAYok/8OpKIjy6a-osd2obcxNpSrNjwzAsgVAuACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9820.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While these cured on place I worked on the first leg.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see I did spent some time sketching the function of the joints </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UdNt6vCM49s/WytkMmug5uI/AAAAAAAAYoo/-Um55rrojewgXt7lu7ExRTUBHt4-1Q8vQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9821.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UdNt6vCM49s/WytkMmug5uI/AAAAAAAAYoo/-Um55rrojewgXt7lu7ExRTUBHt4-1Q8vQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9821.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is a cat-like rear leg.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s9wA7zqxQ4o/WytkNP2uV0I/AAAAAAAAYos/U_0tRLnedkIILXWv1gjPjPcuYGfgSo8cACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9822.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s9wA7zqxQ4o/WytkNP2uV0I/AAAAAAAAYos/U_0tRLnedkIILXWv1gjPjPcuYGfgSo8cACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9822.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then I built it from plastic rods and tubes.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZcM14ddumIM/WytkNWW0QSI/AAAAAAAAYow/iE6bQ9p7nlIcJUR75oyb9GT4wwFaYwpyACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9823.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZcM14ddumIM/WytkNWW0QSI/AAAAAAAAYow/iE6bQ9p7nlIcJUR75oyb9GT4wwFaYwpyACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9823.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think it looks quite good - currently it reminds me a bit of a T-Rex, doesn't it?</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think the lantern does meet the Steampunk theme - don't you?</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And a special rapier - with cog and power cable...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm pretty pleased with her - boots still to do...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5RY_PNvMifA/WyoH0FfiVaI/AAAAAAAAYnQ/7EydV7Gww74kj2thWaafuU85s-6kv3G5gCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9811.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5RY_PNvMifA/WyoH0FfiVaI/AAAAAAAAYnQ/7EydV7Gww74kj2thWaafuU85s-6kv3G5gCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9811.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I decided to give the Steampunk dragon, clockwork dragon a try.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rEGA_IAAktg/WyoH0u5_lGI/AAAAAAAAYnU/ujNjGd413UI39r8yeRTd4obYrLEoojLZgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9812.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rEGA_IAAktg/WyoH0u5_lGI/AAAAAAAAYnU/ujNjGd413UI39r8yeRTd4obYrLEoojLZgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9812.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the bare skeleton</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tLJukWBEKDY/WyoH1AgyFfI/AAAAAAAAYnY/XBhM2hNQx48Y9kRDfgZ19_qoU84BAc8EACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9813.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tLJukWBEKDY/WyoH1AgyFfI/AAAAAAAAYnY/XBhM2hNQx48Y9kRDfgZ19_qoU84BAc8EACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9813.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here you can see the "heart" of the dragon as well as the feet.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZwCz7MT2Y2w/WyoH1qPk2nI/AAAAAAAAYnc/vIvnUBCXT9YcYT_rJY5ukdyi6P0-ysz2wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9814.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZwCz7MT2Y2w/WyoH1qPk2nI/AAAAAAAAYnc/vIvnUBCXT9YcYT_rJY5ukdyi6P0-ysz2wCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9814.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first feet mounted </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bCuowNSPS4Q/WyoH2K-426I/AAAAAAAAYng/YCuVme8mGVcJ7UpwjLTER3NBJj_ysRpBACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9815.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bCuowNSPS4Q/WyoH2K-426I/AAAAAAAAYng/YCuVme8mGVcJ7UpwjLTER3NBJj_ysRpBACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9815.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And pretty much in the planned position.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wUPVifpPV18/WyoH2m5prOI/AAAAAAAAYnk/0UVAriffc1I0wMxZHavTG-6u58hIs0rJQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9816.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wUPVifpPV18/WyoH2m5prOI/AAAAAAAAYnk/0UVAriffc1I0wMxZHavTG-6u58hIs0rJQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9816.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To flesh it out, I cut some "ribs" </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w4s6CovqW00/WyoH3NOya2I/AAAAAAAAYno/mQWFy-eCGjobpX2ZWmvd5vMtTy0lOmblwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9817.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w4s6CovqW00/WyoH3NOya2I/AAAAAAAAYno/mQWFy-eCGjobpX2ZWmvd5vMtTy0lOmblwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9817.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And tried to mount metal scales...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qln2Ul29CSA/WyoHxALdgQI/AAAAAAAAYmk/NGxGZv6fL_ku3nfkGWAYXaK1PvItAY6cQCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_6976.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qln2Ul29CSA/WyoHxALdgQI/AAAAAAAAYmk/NGxGZv6fL_ku3nfkGWAYXaK1PvItAY6cQCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_6976.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Naw, that didn't work...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G41w9zgouN4/WyoHxNN2FbI/AAAAAAAAYms/868ytRaedgYIuMNN8WubMz1cSsEkiQGiwCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_6979.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G41w9zgouN4/WyoHxNN2FbI/AAAAAAAAYms/868ytRaedgYIuMNN8WubMz1cSsEkiQGiwCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_6979.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The scales are too thick and big</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kmTNSPKVS9E/WyoHxDxq64I/AAAAAAAAYmo/NrK3su6kJGYeKcVYk7GcLISsFeBgPDsuACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_6978.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kmTNSPKVS9E/WyoHxDxq64I/AAAAAAAAYmo/NrK3su6kJGYeKcVYk7GcLISsFeBgPDsuACEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_6978.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I gave it another try covering it with thin plastic card</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Au9yLaTFxlI/WyoH3qv8eAI/AAAAAAAAYns/gv7QrSNILA01KCMfB-q0WHBucXnIIWLbQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9818.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Au9yLaTFxlI/WyoH3qv8eAI/AAAAAAAAYns/gv7QrSNILA01KCMfB-q0WHBucXnIIWLbQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9818.JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But this isn't looking convincing either.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had an idea last night that I will try tonight. But if you have any ideas or suggestions that you want to share - I'm all open :)<br />Thanks</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi all,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
last night I decided to head down the Steampunk route.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Zygk6UCkUXM/WyOeQ5sPHRI/AAAAAAAAYlo/hun-CDOCv208m1ehAk48JMmUyJAjiDYCACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9802.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Zygk6UCkUXM/WyOeQ5sPHRI/AAAAAAAAYlo/hun-CDOCv208m1ehAk48JMmUyJAjiDYCACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9802.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So she got some high boots - note the actual "shoe" is still WIP </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rXznT4CBrZY/WyOeQ_Zkc8I/AAAAAAAAYls/ycDPcY6iRgkHeXmKiZ3l7CnAyKh0ff9KwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9804.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rXznT4CBrZY/WyOeQ_Zkc8I/AAAAAAAAYls/ycDPcY6iRgkHeXmKiZ3l7CnAyKh0ff9KwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9804.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Belts and accessories </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8NCdK7wBbzk/WyOeQyfnYRI/AAAAAAAAYlk/rXLSITEwhpgM2qSm3XUw1Oj9EhTXIlvPACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9805.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8NCdK7wBbzk/WyOeQyfnYRI/AAAAAAAAYlk/rXLSITEwhpgM2qSm3XUw1Oj9EhTXIlvPACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9805.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With cogs and stuff.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P1df3J5CgQA/WyOeRq0U44I/AAAAAAAAYlw/9T2TzIZscLsfPvUXQnceZYCBQiJqW2BLACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9806.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P1df3J5CgQA/WyOeRq0U44I/AAAAAAAAYlw/9T2TzIZscLsfPvUXQnceZYCBQiJqW2BLACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9806.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Too bad that the front will hardly be visible in the end...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Eio4SYcIRRA/WyOeR7WZCfI/AAAAAAAAYl0/An-gdD-aTzAAamADw7hkhOgjqTSsFdyLwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9807.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Eio4SYcIRRA/WyOeR7WZCfI/AAAAAAAAYl0/An-gdD-aTzAAamADw7hkhOgjqTSsFdyLwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9807.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm still not 100% sure how this scene will develop. This time I just let it flow, no real plan, just flying be the seat of my pants, following intuition 😀 </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since I'm now on the steampunk path, I will give her a lantern/flashlight in the left hand - probably a lantern, as a flashlight doesn't give the (OSL) required all around light needed for the scene.<br />She'll most likely get a holstered pistol, and a drawn rapier in her right hand.<br />I don't want to abandon the idea of a companion or Fire Lizard. But since I can't have it sitting on her arm I'm thinking about adding a mechanical beast.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A mechanical dragon (thus clearly showing it belongs to her) that already lumbered past and is now startled by the growling of the real dragon and whips his head around to look back...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What do you think?</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cheers</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Klaus</div>
