An 'armless post.

It was a risky pun, but I think I pulled it off...

That aside, here's a photo of my Fiora model that I took before it was destroyed... hopefully my new model (the one I sculpted my finger with) will look just as good, or hopefully better!

I am going to continue with my new "Action Figure" model after I make my sister's bridal cake toppers which will be made from Grey Sculpey, pictures to follow soon...

In the meantime, if you have made a MAKE-a-ME you can still send in a photo by either commenting or sending it in an email to:

alexsnowling@btinternet.com

If I get enough of them I'll make a dedicated post and every reply will be sent to Hobbycraft as a record of the event.

If you have no idea what I'm on about head to any of the links below and maybe make a MAKE-a-ME while you're there!

Happy creating!

Recently have been working on a new Fiora model which I hope should mix all of my previous model ideas and actually make a working action figure... I am doing this by customising an actual action figure from Battlestar Galactica that I found the other day.

So far I have been chiseling away and cutting the figure into shape and then later I plan to add Sculpey bits such as the face, belts, bags etc...

Sadly though I have had to put it on hold thanks to accidentally chiseling my finger...

So.

In the meantime I thought I'd finish off my old Fiora model as it is made of lovely safe reliable clay, no knives needed...

For those of you who may have forgotten it, I am talking about this one;

Sadly, as some of you may remember, the legs, arms, skirt and face were badly damaged when I moved house, so I thought I'd make a bust instead... sort of like the image above...

So, here's Fiora Cavazza...
