rockpopandchips Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Cheers James, all the masking is done by eye only and after that lot i had enough so i painted this tonight. I need to sharpen up one or two spots but im happy with it. I pulled the arm off as well as i decided i didnt like the little tab you can see on his right elbow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James B Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 You'll have to start a masking masterclass! That came out really well. Like you say, a coiple of areas that need a bit of a touch up, but I'm impressed. Getting close to the finish line now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Cheers you three your all much to kind, going to pick up some of the tamiya tape for curves on the way home to see if makes live a bit easier when masking the head and around the hip parts.

rockpopandchips Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 I couldn't find any inspiration to start tge bones today so i went and made a start on a base because heis not the most stable on his feet. I used a bit of kingspan with lashings of PVA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Bit more work on the base, covered wil filler, a fine sand cover then a bit of sharp sand and some smaller rocks and all overed in PVA and a rib cage for interest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now on the the slow process of making some bones and it has taken me quite a bit of trial and error to get a few that i like. Here is the best i have so far but they won't all make the cut. These made on to Mister Bones tooth bracelet. I hope they look like teeth to you, as i can not decide if they are long sharp teeth ot flat molers with long roots? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Bones for his head, not like in the picture but i like these better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Adding more bone to Mister Bones, its a lot trickier than i thought it would be. But this is what we have so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James B Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 That eye detail looks fantastic. The bones are really great too, and that base, wow. You are a very talented individual. Can I assume that the loose black thread/cotton/wire on his right shoulder will be pulled tight to show how he's attached the bone to the shoulder? If so, I love it. Will you be doing something similar for the bones on the head? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) Cheers James but youre much too kind. Yep sorting out the cotton and and made a leather strap from masking tape today, nearly finished now. Im very pleased with the leather look.

James B Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I agree, that leather has come out really nicely. I wouldn't have thought of using masking tape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Thats it he is finished, its been a great fun build this one and i have enjoyed it a lot. I think looking at him now i wouldn't change that much, the bones on the heat a little thick and i could have made more of an effort with the backpack, i would have done more with the leather straps now i know they look ok but tnis is my version of Mister Bones. I will try and get some better picture later today. Edited December 31, 2017 by rockpopandchips 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
