popg0estheworld Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Greetings all! I just finished my first model for my Colette crew- Colette herself. I am really happy with how Colette herself came out, especially the lace and fishnet. As for the placard, it came out a little sloppier than I hoped, but it isn't that noticeable in person. For anyone who is curious, it reads- Colette Du Bois' Star Theater Presents Cassandra in Les Farces de la Lune Fantastic Illusion! The easel is made from brass rod, chain, sheet styrene, and some bits from a Warhammer Empire cannon. The base is sheet styrene. Thanks for looking!

Tiny Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 wow that is fantastic! Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ispep Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Very nice. The sign is awesome. Only bad thing I would say is the boots seem too plain.There's all the great fishnet and lace, and then just plain black boots. Maybe lighten the laces or something just to break them up some.

nightseer Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Beautiful work on Colette! Especially the lace on her bodice, I wouldn't be able to do something like that...can't wait to see the others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 The lace effect on the corset and those fishnets work really well. I can understand the plainer approach to the bolero and boots since thsoe aren't the focus of the miniature. Also some excellent work on the sign board. I look forward to seeing more of your Showgirls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike3838 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Absolutely stunning paintwork there. You must be painting with a single strand of hair on your brush lol. Very very jealous! Only criticism - she seems to be glued to the base wonky - she's stood on her toes on one foot and her heel on the other Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdelemental Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Only criticism - she seems to be glued to the base wonky - she's stood on her toes on one foot and her heel on the other Mike It's an illusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostwalker Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Absolutely amazing, i can think of a good many painters who would love to paint that well, myself included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very jealous! Only criticism - she seems to be glued to the base wonky - she's stood on her toes on one foot and her heel on the other Mike I noticed that too- It is a result of making the base detail too small on the base, and then positioning her just off the rim. As opposed to rebuilding it, I just decided to suck it up and go with it. Good eye- that is one of my own criticisms as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoboStele Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Wow, that is amazing and impressive. How did you get the detail so small?? I try to do lines like that, even with super tiny brushes, and can't seem to get things to look that nice. Very cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popg0estheworld Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Basically, just an 18/0 liner brush and a lighted magnifying glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you use for writing on the placard? I always screw up my writing! Fantastic job! Again, just an 18/0 brush and a magnifying glass. For that little detail work, I mix in some acrylic retarder to give me a little more working time (in case I screw up, I can effectively "erase" with a moist brush).
