Yesterday I got to attend a heritage awards ceremony, which was hosted by the Lieutenant-Governor. The door was opened by a man in full military dress. A woman in an honest-to-goodness maid's uniform directed me to the cloakroom. The ceremony itself was held in a lovely drawing room dominated by a huge portrait of the queen. Also present were paintings of Victoria and Albert, King George the Something (I assume he was a George. He might have been an Edward), and the Queen Mum and George VI. There was trompe l'oeil. There were fancy rondels. There was a marble fireplace. On the mantle of the fireplace (directly below the portrait of King Georgward) was, inexplicably, a little plaque reading "This is our happy place", of the sort you would buy at Michael's.

Afterwards, there was tea and pastries in the other two drawing rooms, where we were watched over by more Georgwards, Prince Philip, and Queens Mary and Alexandra.

Before and After (where I'm stopping for today anyways)

Okay so on one hand I'm trying to remind myself done is better than perfect. But also, also. I think he looks okay! I've never sculpted so the face mods were a new thing, and painting a human skin tone was definitely new.

#sometimes i do stuff #i cannot stop seeing the problems and there are so many #but im trying to see the whole not the things that are pissing me off #and honestly i think its not half fucking bad all things considered #definitely made him look younger #if i was less shit with the hair i could've gotten something closer to nelson #when it's dry ill see what I can do with it but i can also always remove it and redo it with a more strong idea of a style in mind #i sort of just winged it and made a lot of errors

working on project today, but never posted the quick before pictures here

not paying out the big bucks for the very cool lost boys 1/6 figures just to rip the head off and ruin them, so grabbed a cheapo jack bauer off ebay and am going to fuck it up big time.

To try and make him look younger, he's getting some epoxy putty work to add softer/rounder/baby face cheekies back in, which should deal with the outer lip jowl-y bits, going to smooth out the forehead wrinkles and crows feet the figure has and try to decrease the depth of the lip to nose brackets.

And the hair has already been sanded off to have fibre hair added once the face is modded and repainted (and the gay audacity is driving me thinking I can do that and not have it look dog shit cause I've never painted a human skintone on a 1/6 figure)

His own body is also on the way, so he wont be on eddie's body with eddie's clothes.

#sometimes i do stuff #it'll be at least a week of work still #especially making clothes cause i do not have a lot of material to work with but we'll see what I've got that's getting thrown out
