SSBM Link is finished!!

Finally, he's done! Do you like him? It took a lot of time but it was definitely worth it ;) I might start work on WW Zelda (when I get some more thick paper) or finish Salvatore.

Left hand and arm

Link's left hand and arm came along pretty well! I'm gonna start working on the sword now.

Medli's stand

Since I didn't want to make the stand a tiny container with some plasticine on it, I made this out of a painted aerosol can cap.

Since the Wind Waker is largely based on the sea, I painted waves along the bottom of it ;)

Finished Medli

She won't stand up on her own because her ponytail is too big and her feet are sorta tiny, but if you put something under the ponytail she'll stand up fine. This is one of my favourite models so far!

Improvise!

Because cutting out the very thin strips of paper which were meant to be the strings turned out to be a bit too hard, I decided to glue some thread to the lyre to make it look a bit more realistic. I think it turned out pretty well ;)

Medli

All I've got to do now is make her legs, hands and lyre. I'll get some of it done today, so there'll be an update later today or tomorrow.

Lack of blogging... sorry... :'(

I forgot to warn you and I feel bad about it. Anyway, now you'll know why I was away. I was at music camp at Gartmore for a week and the concert at the end was really good! I was in the first clarinets. I'm just about to watch some Doctor Who and work on Medli's ponytail and head, so stay tuned!

X-Acto stylus knife

Here is my new invention... the X-Acto stylus knife! I got the idea when I was trying to multi-task by cutting out stuff and playing Spirit Tracks on my DSi, as I was using the non-knife end of the X-Acto knife to: well, tap stuff. One of my old styluses kept on falling out of the DS, so I cut off the end and glued it on to the knife.

The fish fingers at the end of the vid is the setting for my new stop motion, incase you were wondering ;)
