I want to show you a (not at all) small "in between project" in the coming days!

I'm going to marry my wonderful Tanja on January 5th - almost one year to the day after our engagement!

First of all, I had to look for a suitable Christmas present - and I came up with the idea of ​​giving Tanja myself, so to speak - in scale of 12 cm!

Four years ago I once had a color 3-D print done by myself, which was a special offer at "Saturn Hansa" when this new technology came onto the market.

The print itself is quite neat (maybe a little rough!), but I recognize myself.

The color, however, wasn't that great, just simply printed on it. So I thought to myself: "You can do that better than this machine!"
The ink was carefully peeled off and the thing re-primed.

I only left the skin areas - hands and face / neck as they came out of the printer years ago - as a kind of primer for later refinement.

Since I don't know what material the 3-D print is made of or how it reacts to my colors, I started out with the back part of my beloved old leather jacket, which has accompanied me since my student days - and which I still wear fit in, even if it is now much tighter around the belly than before ...

I worked with these colors ...



... and for the beginning I am quite satisfied ...:

Nice idea Martin, enjoy your married life with Tanja, not sure if I would want a self portrait figure of me as I can barely look at my aging face in the mirror these days, however carry on with yours and lets see it when done, must say you are looking like one of the Scorpions in the pic with the car lol, all the best for the wedding.
TERRY

Next step, the sweatshirt! Anyone who knows me knows that I usually prefer very colorful clothes; I wear any color provided it's black!

For the shirt, I vary the shade of black a bit into the blue ...



The biggest temptation was to paint away the belly - but since it's there in the original (and Tanja knows the original!) I show it too ...:


Cheers
