An 'armless post.

It was a risky pun, but I think I pulled it off...
 
That aside, here's a photo of my Fiora model that I took before it was destroyed... hopefully my new model (the one I sculpted my finger with) will look just as good, or hopefully better!
 
 
I am going to continue with my new "Action Figure" model after I make my sister's bridal cake toppers which will be made from Grey Sculpey, pictures to follow soon...
 
In the meantime, if you have made a MAKE-a-ME you can still send in a photo by either commenting or sending it in an email to:
 
 
If I get enough of them I'll make a dedicated post and every reply will be sent to Hobbycraft as a record of the event.
 
If you have no idea what I'm on about head to any of the links below and maybe make a MAKE-a-ME while you're there!
 
Happy creating!

Fiora Cavazza Bust.

Hello again loyal viewers!
 
Recently have been working on a new Fiora model which I hope should mix all of my previous model ideas and actually make a working action figure... I am doing this by customising an actual action figure from Battlestar Galactica that I found the other day.
 
So far I have been chiseling away and cutting the figure into shape and then later I plan to add Sculpey bits such as the face, belts, bags etc...
 
Sadly though I have had to put it on hold thanks to accidentally chiseling my finger...
 
So.
 
In the meantime I thought I'd finish off my old Fiora model as it is made of lovely safe reliable clay, no knives needed...
 
For those of you who may have forgotten it, I am talking about this one;
 
 
Sadly, as some of you may remember, the legs, arms, skirt and face were badly damaged when I moved house, so I thought I'd make a bust instead... sort of like the image above...
 
So, here's Fiora Cavazza...
 
 
And here's my finished bust:
 
 

 
I am aware that the face is monumentally huge and that there's alot wrong about it, but I'm relatively happy with it overall...
 
I'm pretty certain I can do better though...
 
When my finger is unchiseled I'll carry on with the new model and keep you all posted!
 
In the meantime, here are some nifty links to this model and other related posts...
