Psyklop returns! 2
Here is the progress of Psyklop.. legs finishing
profile view...
rear view....
belt and head assemble....
neck assemble...
hey you!
costume...
mmm....
rear costume view...
three balls...
I'll give you a couple of arms...
refining arms.... (don't care about fingers, they will refined after baking...)
and after baking.... it was impossible to remove the two screws without destroing the feet... Not so bad accident, cause in any case I had in my mind to give him a couple of millimeters extra lenght in his legs, so....). But in any case my suggestion is: do not use screws to fix it on the base, simply use iron wire!! Easier to remove.

Psyklop returns!
Ok, I started the second character to launch in the market. I wanted something new and unseen, so I choose one from my old "Want it" list. This is Psyklop.
Give me the time and you will find him in the new section opened today: For Sale.
Let's start from a rough iron wire armature
Let's find a tool that can be used for fixing and working on... I made two drilled holes on this coffee cap, in order to use couple of screws to support the armature.
Yeah, exactly like this...!
It seems very good.... But forget it! You will see in the next pages that after baking the figure, the screws made impossible the extraction and destroyed the legs, that I had to reƬbuild.... No way! Much better to use iron wire... but this is the lesson learnt today!!
Ok, now is time to prepare some Magic Sculp white in order to fix the parts pf the armature... Take two egual parts of paste and hardener
Mix them some minutes
yeah baby, this way!
Just mix for a couple of minutes until the colour is omogeneous and white
ready!
Then let's use on the main junction in order to fix at least the main parts of the armature
Then let's fix the white milliput also onto the screws and when hardened let's start to roughly model the figure.... better if considering proportions....
