Vinyl Countdown (part 3)

This is actually a couple steps later. Though I did the bulk of the work in one step, which I think was a mistake. I tried to keep a consistency of finish by doing a bunch at once, but I think it was too much to tackle and still do to a decent level of finish. I fear visible joint lines, so try to do too much at once. I hope it turns out OK with some paint on it. I still want to "enhance" the tail first.

The final step aside, however, I am learning to love the color shapers I purchased last winter but haven't used til now. I don't know how useful they would be on small scale figures, but at this size they've been great. Especially in terms of a nice finish (which always seems to be a struggle for me.)

I included a ruler in one pic, for a sense of scale. The stock Munny Mini, with its normal head, is about 4" tall to the top of the head.

  2. Is anyone else reminded of Zero? (Jack Skellington's ghost dog in Nightmare Before Christmas)

  3. @ Bard: More than likely it will be bright orange. :)

    @ Ragados: I hadn't thought of that, but you're right, he does look a bit like Zero! I'll post a pic of the painting on which the figure is based in one of my future blog entries.
