                        Here is the next effort...the 1/8 scale Spiderman. I didn't like the original base so am posing him on a rooftop corner. I was thinking of sculpting a gargoyle for the corner and welcome any photo references. The rooftop is made of MDF board. As for Spidey, he went together well with no problems.



                        Regards, Dan

                        Thanks, Joe...it's been a pleasure posting these crazy concoctions of mine...

                        I am working on a gargoyle corner piece carved out of low density foam. This is fun!

                        The nice thing about this foam is I can use 120 grit garnet paper to do most of the work. I have the left side close to being finished, and should have the gargoyle done tonight.

                        And here it is finished and fit to the corner...now I guess I need some decorative sconces to go on each side....hmmmmm.


                        Dan

                        The sculpt on the gargoyle is great work Thumbs Up [tup]Thumbs Up [tup]. I tried something similar ages ago but mine looked more like a very sick puppy.

                        I do have to say that this has been the most enjoyable base yet....I have almost finished the foam decorations for it. I added leafy thingy side panels and a hooded face relief:



                        And throw on some paint and wa-la.....

                        Judging from what I've already seen you sculpt, I'm sure you could!
