I did a thing

I was inspired by this (in finnish) to try to make my own paint bottle holder. I had just ordered these German steel hole punchers for making chits for other gaming projects, and one of them just happened to be 26mm in diameter (Vallejo & Army Painter paints are 25mm). This really got the gears moving.
I wanted to make it cheaply and relatively quickly, so cardboard was always the way I wanted to go. While visiting my mom few weeks back I found my old game box for one of the Rock band games, and it was this really high quality white cardboard.
Contrasted by the light brown color of cheap cardboard box I thought it came out alright.

First I though I made way too many holes for my paints,
but it turned out to be pretty well in the ballpark of what I needed.

I frigging love Google!

I just love how my pictures sometimes get "enhanced" by Google bots and scripts. It randomly decides that one of my pictures is worth making better, and does it automatically, and just informs me that "Hey dude, I took one of your pics and made it better! You wanna save this?"
Never change Google-bot!

Thanks Google, I really needed an old-timey, romantic version of this pic.

Here we go! Treeman part three

He's got a head and more arm!

The Toothless One. Can't do the teeth with Fimo, so he'll be looking like this for a while.

He also has a mock-up hand to let me feel how its position will be like. I probably end up ripping it off and sculpting over it, and re-attach it so that the palm is more towards him. It now looks like he's going to smash some poor fellow he's grabbed (which is actually not a bad pose...)
One thing the pic doesn't show is that his wrist behind the thumb is waaay thicker that I'd like it to be, so I'm gonna just shave it off (along the road, kids!) and re-sculpt the bit.

I sculpted the head on its own on this plastic card. I still want to add some depth, it's kinda flat now.

After I was done sculpting the head I though I made it too big, but now actually seeing it attached I feel it's OK. He looks weird now with that wireframe body, but once he gets some central mass, I think it's gonna fit just fine.

Next time I'ma take few regular minis to work and do a size comparison pics.
