Well I hope you can get it finished in time and wish you luck in doing so as it looks brilliant so far.

That is a genius idea IsleStagger of using the gandalf cart sculpt, if I may say so.

Snowflake cart wheels and runner supports sculpted. Getting ready to prime:

Oh, come on, dont ruin this beautifull modell.
What you sculpted on it, is terrible.
I know now you think it is funny, but serevral years ago you wont like what you did whit this modell.
I suggest, to remove the green stuff.
If you would just paint this modell normally, and add some snow on the base, and fireworks on the back, that would be OK.

Its a framework and a work in progress, I have two of them so I'm not worried about "several years" from now. But to each his own.

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Wed Dec 21, 2011 8:57 am

Now get it painted! I can't wait to see how this one turns out. Will you be 'santafying' the Gandalf at all?

IsleStaggerholm · **Posted:** Wed Dec 21, 2011 8:59 am

Of course, red and white and his little puff ball is already in place. I'm waiting for things to harden. Luckily I'm a teacher so I am on break. If I put my mind to it I should be able to finish.

Looking good! Perhaps sand the spokes down once the greenstuff has dried, you can make them flat edged rather than round. The sack looks great!

3 Days till humbug day! :twisted:

Progress as of this morning, all this white is starting to drive me insane! I just can't seem to make this model interesting without going overboard. I've end up coating the majority of it in glue and adding the baking powder... that will teach it!

Will attempt the eyes once i've had a drink or two later, dutch courage and all that

He's looking great so far lorderkenbrand!!

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Thu Dec 22, 2011 1:02 pm

That looks great Jack! I'm looking forward to seeing what the finished product looks like

lorderkenbrand · **Posted:** Thu Dec 22, 2011 1:20 pm

Cheers guys, he's pretty much done now, baking powder is a pain to paint over! I don't recommend anyone try it

IsleStaggerholm i realy like ur model but without the green stuff on the weels, already looks like a sled, u dont need all that green stuff on the weells, (but it is just my opinion mate

)
and the bag looks great, cant wait to see it completed

nice entry!
