Better head back to the Bunkhouse Bucky its looking like a real frog strangler is coming!-
This rain-soaked cowboy turned out really nice. As I said earlier there is not that much detail to him but theres just enough to get the point across. Although it doesn't show up in the photos to well he is standing in a puddle of water made with epoxy resin. The lariat is made from 3 strands of twisted wire and it's length is about 30 scale feet. It takes a little effort to get that wire into his hands. Once in place I epoxied it.

I have no doubt that this figure will not be on the table long as people like a character that tells a story and this guy clearly does that.

More photos in the Gallery and your comments are appreciated.

ReplyDeleteHi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteThis guy looks great!!
If you don't mind sharing another secret - what kind of lacquer did you use to get the slicker and hat to look wet?
Thanks!!
Will you have him in Kansas City? By the way, he's great. A Slight Chance of Rain is still one of my favorites.
