A Spare Pair of Hands

Just what I need, some spare hands. These are for 'Burke & Hare'. I found it difficult to get them 'rough & ready'. Began as something from Wallace & Gromit then far to long and elegant. I think I might have got there. They will, of course, be 'dirtied' up a bit.

Next will be feet but they will be very simple since they will be in boots of some sort. I am leaving the faces to last. Trying to avoid the inevitable. Fortunately they really don't have to be beauties!

The jury is out...

Light paint

Darker Paint

I am undecided between the railings and the fence. The fence was originally painted a light colour but everyone said they preferred the railings. I had to admit that I did too. I wondered if it might have been the colour, so I have re-painted the fence the darker colour used for the railings. I do think it is better but I'm still not sure.

Another idea

I had the idea of creating a lemon tree in a large plant pot.This came about as I was throwing an empty deoderant away. The top was perfect for a large planter. I have seen some huge ones, at garden centres, with trees in them. 

You will need to weight the top and, of course, aint it. Be careful of usinig Humbrol if it has to come into contact with polymer clay - the paint will always remain sticky. I tried this about 20 years ago and it has never cured.

Garden Update

I have, more or less, completed the Garden. I just have to make all the plants and flowers. I am making an alterntive fence, instead of the railings. I spotted some old railings and a matching gate, whilst out and about. I took a couple of photos and have a plan for making something similar.

Garden is growing

I have now completed the basic garden. If you go to 'Tutorials' and click on Gardens, you will see my updates.

I still have a way to go. I have been working on other things not miniature related.
