Like a lot of fellow figurepainters I use
Vallejo paint, and I took a closer look at
The label of this gold paint.
There was a warning written what caught my attention:
Contains Genie....
So I quickly took the cap off,
and with a cloth I rubbed the bottle...
PFOEF
A real Genie appeared, what a surprise!
This friendly Genie was so glad to be out of this small bottle.
He was so grateful to me that I could make 3 wishes...
Hahaha, I hope you liked this conversion, now step by step how I made it:
I started my conversion again with this
figure form the 1970s Asterix range.
On my search for Romains,
I had to buy some extra of these...
So always fun to make a special one out of them!
First step was cutting his arms and legs...
The arms just needed another pose, so I drilled a small hole in them.
Then added a part of a paperclip for a solid construction
Another hole in his body, cut the paperclip to the right size
end bend it for the pose I had in mind...
With PVC glue I filled up the holes, and also added a small ring
on his head, around the hair.
Then added a bigger paparclip and tried to make
the right basic for his Genie rope
With Milliput, covered with paper tissue I made the right shape.
Used some Paper shaper to make the tissue hard.
The form looked perfect when dry, so a gray coat spray before painting.
During the painting, I saw I forgot his beard.
So made one from a clip for a plastic bag, and pvc glue...
I also cleaned an empty Vallejo paint bottle
And put some gold paint inside
On my comupter I designed
a new label for the bottle.
My inspiration whas this drawing,
and I must say it turned out well!
