Lean in close Iggie, I need to whisper this bit......

Whilst shaving and sanding the area at the top of the thighs, some tiny shavings stuck to the paint and created a frighteningly realistic anatomical detail that I had not intended to do in a family forum :shock: :oops: . Reluctantly I have now returned the figure to a less explicit state

As always, this is turning out to be an excellent figure conversion, PT. I'm sure you will be able to sort out the...errr...finer points of Miss Valentina's anatomy :ha:

A wee break from Flashy and the backdrop for him. A £2 mini artists mannequin is a much cheaper base for figure conversion than a Mini Art or ICM job at £16 a pop.

Nice work on Valentina and Flashy. And those mannequins are full of possibilities, like stop motion work too.

Outstanding PT! Beautiful job at capturing life-like action as usual.

Are you going to sculpt new figures with the mannequin, then cast them and reuse the mannequin?

This is it. The moment we should have trained for.

Hmmmm?! That is an interesting idea! It's too late to do that with this figure but it's something to bear in mind if there was interest from anyone else here in making up their own figure from the casts.
I had only intended to slap Milliput onto the mannequins, buying a new one for each figure conversion at only £2 a pop

Brilliant! You have really captured the essence of the characters on the book cover there, PT, that is a great bit of figure work.
