I finally found some time to work on this. I wish I had more. The last few weeks have been cuckoo around here.

On to the next part of the weathering... Pigments...!

I was hoping that they would come out better. But it was an experiment to begin with so I didn't expect much.
Thanks though, I'm glad that you like it.

So here's the video of how all that happened.
I'm pooped so I doubt that I'll get much more done today... maybe tonight.
I'd like to get it done now so I can start working on one of the other projects on my bench.

Thanks Dudes.
I'm going to try to finish it this weekend.
We'll see if I'm successful. I had to go pick up some more pastel chalks as I ran out of the colour that I wanted to use to make the mud.
All fixed up now. The store doesn't carry what I normally use so I had to make do with something new and a couple of bucks more expensive than I normally pay.
I think that it'll do though.

She's all finished, aside from the box frame that I'm going to try to build today.

I'm uploading video now, but here's the latest pictures.

And one last one just to show how big this silly thing is.

I'm hoping that once I get the frame built and painted I'll be able to take her outside and get some daytime shots of her. The light won't be quite right... Summer as opposed to winter.
But I'm not taking my work outside in the winter. Call me weird.
