       Justin Ryan251: That guy is scary. What is the meaning of the birdbeak mask? The Harbinger of " Death"

 

 

 

 

 

Gamera is right....but it wasn't just to ward off the smell...the docs back then would actually use these masks, stuffed with their favorite herb blends (parsley, sage, rosemary and thymeeeee....) thinking they had the safest, medieval version of the N95 available at the time!

 

 

 

 

Thanks Justin! I thought it was some of that stuff too but I wasn't sure. 

 

When this was first posted I had to Google to see what a plague doctor was. The wookiepedia article talks about them being hired by the local municipality and served poor and rich alike.  However rich were sometimes offered other snake oil like "cures" for an upcharge. They were certainly not medical doctors. Nostradamus was a notable plague doctor per the article. 

Very interesting subject.

You get a blood letting, leaches, or a Trepanning from that guy - you pick.

He looks like something from a nightmare. I'd hate to see that come a try to "cure" me. A little bloodletting shoud be in order.

Really cool lighting effect.  Well done 

 

Thanks!  I had never tried Object source lighting before....The feedback I have gotten tells me I hit it solid out of the park!

That's creepy awesome. But what kind of material do you use in making your walls. Tks

 

The walls and base are made of insulation foam board, commonly available in Lowe's, Home Depot in the states, and I'm sure other countries' version of those stores.  They come in various thicknesses, and sizes, ranging from 4x8 sheets to 3x3 'project boards'.

 

Check out the youtube channel 'Black Magic Crafts', he is mostly for miniature gaming (Warhammer, D&D, and such....), but alot of what he does can be scaled appropriately to scale model building.

I believe as I remember the 'beak' was stuffed full of fragrant herbs and perfumes to cover up the smell of sickness and death.

JohnnyK;

  Did you go to St.Joseph's Parochial School? My fourth Grade NUN looked like that too! 

I had a Nun in grade school that looked like that.

Very apt and creepy, thanks to an episode of Supernatural knew what it was immediately. Before that had more associated it with the masks worn during  Venice carnivals.

I just may! Thanks!

Hey, Justin-you should bring this to MFCA next year!

Thanks all for the kind words!

This was my first time attempting 'Object Source Lighting', and I think it came out well!

Very dark and most appropriate for current events. Well done!

He is creepy!

Great job! Love the figure and the base turned out great too. I love the highlighting from the lantern- great show!!!

Lol....thanks!

That dude is creepy. 

Well done.

so, I have since finished the good Doctor...

Very nice. I have one suggestion, I think that his boots would have mud on them and the bottom of his frock would be covered in dust/dirt.

Coming down the home stretch...

Lol love it Justin! 

Haven't tried doing the highlighting glow effect from a lantern on a figure etc myself but I like where you're going with it. 

 

I didnt realize before it was too late, but I neglected to clear coat the figure before I added the lighting effect.  I want to try to tone it down a little.  Hopefully I can without causing too much damage!
