"then I'd have to get a parrot also"

Nahhh, just a frozen chicken.  That's what he used in the pirate scene in Down Periscope.  Of course he DID have an eye patch too.

vision is getting better,, been doing some non-percise work,, temu'd a pair of siamese cats that were scale correct, a bit to much siamese, but a good starting point,, head and tail positions changed, glass eyes added, bulked up where needed and trimmed down also.. poly feet added to one.. kind of shiney and did not photograph well.. :cheers:

Better than if it was dogs gnawing on his leg...   :Lol:

The cats will need some mice or rats to chase too...


Great to see you back at the model!

repainted one cat so his colors didn't blend in with the wood-work,, so now we have Hardtack and Lady Nyx (goddess of the night) priming,sanding, priming and adding details to the figures..

didn't like how the LT's coat was looking, did like how the bell-bottom's buttons came out, decided that a more dress coat was doable and would add some more bling to the figure,, sanding off the old details and getting out the epoxy sculpt to dress things up a bit..
