Hard Times

I might have uploaded these photos before but here they are again just in case I didn't.

This little Convict is hoping he's pounding his way to an early parole but I have a feeling he's never going to break free of his bonds. Sad, cause he's such a neat little guy. The scene is a small one, standing only about 10" tall with base.

The rock he's perched on is actually a piece I picked up from that large meteor crater in Arizona. I anchored it into a large glob of Bondo auto-body putty and then added some smaller gravel pieces around it. Once dry I painted it dark grey and then drybrushed on some white to give it texture. I think it worked pretty good to convey a pile of rocks.

The ball and chain are held to the leg by a metal band. The chain came from some necklace jewelry I picked up at WalMart. The ball is just a piece of whittled wood.

There are a few more photos in the Gallery and comments are always welcome.
