To make the scarf I had originally thought of using a nylon piece of cloth soaked with super glue. But that glue sets much too fast to really allow any forming. So I soaked the cloth in Mod Podge and formed it using clothes pins. Took several applications to get the exact shape I was after as I waned it to hang natural. I think it looks pretty good and should even look better once it's locked in place.

I decided to go ahead and use the base I had on hand but I cut and added an additional piece to the bottom to make it more massive and stable. He is held in place with a 3/8" dowel painted flat black.

So, he's not headed to the paint table to get some color. Will use dark colors to maintain the sinister look. Hope you like him so far and your comments are welcome as always. More photos in the Gallery.
Very nice. I will be waiting to see the finished piece. In a round about way he kind of looks like John Wayne. I like it.
ReplyDeleteHe definite looks sinister. You nailed that!
ReplyDeleteGreat carving, especially the details such as the cartridges on his belt...nice touch. Given his size, he should get a lot attention and will make a great centerpiece for your table at Dayton.
ReplyDeleteThis Dude definitly looks suspicious, with a tinge of evil. He's gettin' ready to don that mask and head on out for a stage hold-up I'm sure. Super carving Lynn. Ya did it again!!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like this one a lot. Nice work as always.
