This month a totally different project...
My FIGZ flag guy!
Like every year I organize a small event called FIGZ
and since 3 years it's a reason to start a groupbuild
on bennosfigureforum.com
The theme this year is to make a big parade of figures
using figures from there own country.
I am not good in these sort of paintjobs, but as organizor
I felt that I had to take part of it, so I had a idea.
Making a guy with a promotion flag of FIGZ.
With a figure of the set Revell 2564 I started this conversion:
First I cut of his tool, and the next step was his arms.
Had to give them the right pose to held a flagpole .
Even tried to change his hand, but that didn't work.
Drilled holes, put in some metal wire, and glued.
For the flagpole I used a normal pin, heated it so it fits in his hand.
With paper tissue and wood glue I made the flag.
...and on the painting table giving him the Dutch look
Yeah you still see secretly a Roman here, hahaha
painted the flag orange with white FIGZ letters
And made his cap in the Dutch red-white-blue
and on his way to Arnhem to take part of the parade
that my good friend Jan will make for us
FIGZ is on the first sunday of June
It was fun making this flag guy!
Can't wait to see him in the parade....
I hope you like him!
Great job, high the colors!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great job you made with this figure! He looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBTW, isn't that called "Photo bombing" what that Romain is doing? XD
Angelique,the Roman,is trying hard not to catch fire. It being the case Remco,has indeed set the odd one in flames before caused by the sun and his magnifying glass! Best Regards BB
