The painting is finished now, I just have to do a few coats of varnish, and the small matter of fitting him with some skis...
here are some photos of the nearly finished Super G...
I had a really good day on friday and painted on all the logo/stitch details etc.
And now have applied a first undercoat of varnish, a spray coat of clear Plasti-kote to seal the paint before applying the final UV acrylic varnish. That's the plan anyway...
I'm pretty pleased with the way his face turned out - opted for a grey, old man alpine look, rather than the traditional gorilla black. Has to be said that his eyes have a certain concentrated stare.
though it has been said he looks like he's been out on the piste... ha!
It's been a journey, been fun, but will be glad when he's finished. next week the skis...
