Hi guys, well it's too humid and 90+ degrees outside to do anything today, so I thought I'd put up a figure viginette that I completed for my girlfriend. It's her favorite scene of her favorite character from "Winnie the Pooh" in a DVD that we watched with my nephew. I think it was "The Heffalump Movie"?
In the movie, Pooh and his friends have to venture into the scary Heffalump Wood, but don't want to get stuck in there after dark. Nobody has a watch, so poor Eeyore gets the heroic job of packing the Grandfather's clock on his back! In this scene, he's trying to figure out how to cross the fence at the boundary to the Heffalump Wood....
"Eeyore" is a DML donkey, freed after years of service in the Fallschirmjaeger corps, (DML #6077) and has finally added his trademark bow added to his tail after leaving the service...
The clock was scratchbuilt from plastic stock and strip, using a dollhouse accessory as inspiration. The clock face is a photo of a watch from a catalogue, (with a horse on it-my girlfriend loves horses!) sandwhiched behind clear plastic. The wood was ingrained with a scriber to simulate grain. The fence is scratchbuilt.
Hope you enjoyed this "oddball" little scene--it never hurts to keep the little woman happy! ( it pays GOOD dividends in the end!)
