The Swan
My latest is a gorgeous (1/6th scale) sculpt from pkking called The Swan; those of you who follow pk may have seen the pre-painted statue of this sculpt he is offering. Well, when he first sculpted this marvelous piece, 10 garage kits were made and I was lucky enough to get #1!!! Woot!! Given my love for painting feathers and the fairer sex, this kit is just about perfect for me. The entire piece was hand-painted using acrylics. I decided to build a special backdrop for her based on some of the waterfalls I've photographed in my home state of Oregon. The base was constructed out of insulating foam covered in Apoxie Sculpt. The moss is several colors of Woodland Scenics foliage; the fauna are various bits and pieces from the flower decorating section at my local Michaels (I deconstructed a bunch of larger plants to get the pieces I wanted and then painted them to look like an Oregon rain forest). The pond is clear resin; the waterfalls are Woodland Scenics Water Effects over plastic wrap; the beautifully, aged "wooden" frame is a cheap, white plastic shadow box that I picked up at my local Michaels (for $4) and painted to look like wood grain In addition to all of the wonderful details on the main figure, the kit came with all of the lily pads and lotus blossoms you see floating in the pond. Also, the cute little frog you can see and a toad came with the kit as well. I hope you like her. The project was a blast.
