JFF = Just For Fun

Left over extra Apoxie laying around from another project . . . mixed and drying,so I made a Ball and stuck it on a piece of Aluminum wire ... a few weeks later an extra glob of Apoxie became a rather LARGE nose . . . then a another stuffed on chest and so on .And so it sat for months just like that...

Got inspired Last night, so



ThinkingDoppelsoldant Landsknecht . . .



Legs . . .Little Chain mail . . .wire for arms . . .

Off school this week so ... let's see how it turns out

Example of another JFF

Little more clothing and a lot of Hair .... final hand and hat manana

Little more detailing and on to some paint... been working on a small toddler bed Castle for Granddaughter ...

Started the painting with a series of acrylic paint washes mainly in black and burnt sienna, thinned with rubbing alcohol. The rubbing alcohol as a thinner seems to spread more evenly and as become my main stay for airbrushing also.


more painting to come and some added detailing . . .

LOL......love the idea.....great stuff....Kevin

Painted tonight and here it is ... but thinking of changes as I look at pictures. Change this... add that... dap of paint missing here or there. Think he needs a poniard or belt knife . . . opinions appreciated.

This was a fun exercise in using left over material as a base and just having fun... sometimes amid projects and commission work, I take myself to seriously and forget why I started . . . simply to create and enjoy history and art in one. Hope he brings a smile!
