*Finished* PF Chosen Buffy Statue

I think that is a great choice, it's the best size and it will work great with the PF Buffy.

Hey Ya'll
Sorry ive not updated this in a while. Ive been taking photos but just not got around to posting them.

Anyhoo, straight in. First off lets do the base.

I used a round piece of wood, cut the back off to be flat, so it would fit BA1 specified space. I then 'sculpted' the walls with foam, then covered in Resin. I cut holes into the base which will hold lights. The lights were made from modified LED lights which have a remote control to turn them on and off. I modified the switch so it was on top not underneath so it wouldnt be difficult to permenantly switch off



I then sculpted the Jacket. I poured boiling water from the kettle over the parts of the sculpt ive already done. This cures it VERY slightly, enough to work on another part without damage.

I sculpted the jacket and sleeves, and collar.









Next up was the hair.
I said i would do a tutorial, but i didnt take as many photos as i wanted to, but hopefully these will help

I started off by building the hair with 'snakes' which are rolls of sculpey. i then flatten into the shape after.







Then i begun to add detail using the end of a small paintbrush

I did the same for the sides and back

I added more clay, and used my fingers more than anything, to get the rough shape that i wanted, then refined it using a few tools



I use the end of the paintbrush to make the "locks" of hair



Then i use a thin tool to add the detail. Do not go overboard, and dont press to hard. To much texture can really kill a sculpt

Follow the locks of hair and you should end up with a really natural effect



Same with the back. Large locks of hair, then finer detail. I feathered the end of the hair to give it a natural finish



When the sculpt is done, you are usually left with some sculpey lumps. I use lighter fluid on a brush to smooth these out





Hopefully that is enough of a guide to help you all out

The scythe presented a potential problem for shipping. So i spent a few hours modifying it. It was solid metal, very hard to do but it was worth it in the end. The blade is glued into Buffys hand and the end pushes onto it when it gets to BA1



Now on with the finished thing. I painted her using the Chosen outfit colours. She had 3 pegs in her feet and screws in from underneath.

There are 2 lights in her base which flicker like flames.

Anyway, here are the finished photos. I hope you all like I am incredibly pleased with her

Thanks
Wayne

WOW!!!! I am in awe at this one Wayne. Her face looks eerily lifelike and the pose looks very fluid and natural. Flawless paint job, as usual. Kudos and lucky Hansi!!

Roadie- her eyes are green with a brown rim. The camera probably isnt picking them up well
