Started making the armature for the next one. I'm using an old base on wheels i used once or twice before, so i needed to grind off the worst of the rust & grease the wheel bearings & check the welds aren't rusted thru. I'd had to cut it up to fit it in the car to take it to the studio, so i then had to weld it back together. So when i felt hey an achievement to get those bits welded on straight, i suddenly realised it wasn't, cos i'd bloody cut it off myself. Dang nab it.
Then painted it in french blue cos i got a tin of that & its a way cool colour to cover rust & bare steel.
Tomorrow i'm going to actually make the armature of the actual figure. So all that preamble was just getting started really. Hm.
Sadly the amount of toxic smoke & dust i managed to manufacture in that airtight room from a simple bit of grinding & welding makes me think doing plaster work in here is a bad bad idea. Kinda sad about that.
I'm negotiating for a larger studio, which would be great. Doing one thing at a time is ok in here but if i want to do wax & clay modelling as well, then there ain't enough room really. I don't think the dust thing is gonna be any easier tho in a bigger room, there's still not much air.
