Refining

Working on refining my CollectAs hair. First I dremeled small areas away, mostly into the curve of the hair. Then with sandpaper smooth it out, the plastic is really tricky to work with so take the time and go slow. I still wasn't happy with the points of the hair so I went in with epoxy and sculpted the shape I wanted. Here is before and after shots:

CollectA Arabian

Long time no posts. Have been busy with the new pup who is now called Barnaby (though it changes every week) and I also have been reorganising my studio. Everything has a new place, its a little confusing but will make life easier in the long run.

One of the things I have been working on is a CollectA model. He is made of different softer plastic then Breyers, which I'm finding harder to work with. I used my dremel to remove the logo from his belly, it was tricky... dremels like to eat soft plastic.

So most of it was hand sanded with wet 400 sand paper. Please excuse the orange sharpie thats for highlighting the areas that need work. I was thinking bay rabicano for his clothes... or maybe liver chestnut.
