Start over

OK i threw that plaster dude in the corner (rather, carefully lifted him onto some milk crates cos if it goes on the ground it'll never be picked up without a forklift).
Disorganization meant i had to go half hr drive to the studio to get my welder & bring it back home to make a new armature. Though i did return via Stonevilla & check out what they had in "studio" space. Not bad eh but the ground is a bit uneven you wouldn't be rolling anything out of there. Anyway got home, 2 minutes cutting steel square tube, 2 min grinding off paint, 3 minutes of welding (now that i've turned up the amps to blow it away setting) and - walla - a new armature... That sort of thing can take me an entire day when i take it too seriously... Then add a wire skeleton 1/2 hrs work, & there we are. Then 5 hrs of adding plasticene & we're about half way....
Still it looks deformed & i think its just an incredibly hard pose or something... or else i've suddenly lost all my skills... or i'm stressin the hell out too much.
At least the subject ain't sitting for me tomorrow as i feared so i got a little more time.

Soundtrack... Skeptoid podcasts & Dr Who audio books.
