Had to keep this one under wraps as it was/is for a contest, but now I've uploaded my video and can share!
Hey gents, been a bit! Entered a contest on Facebook that is actually a 3 round tournament! It's called; Articulated Comic Book Art. The purpose is to make a scene that could look like it's out of the pages of a comic book (with cut outs and what not). Here is my Work in progress so far:
Stage 1, I need a desk with a mirror back(like a dressing room.) I scoured Ebay and the webs to see that most desks run about $15-$20. I decide to attempt to make one myself:
The first night, I cobble this together
Tonight, I added drawers, inside sides, and get the mirrors joined. Now, this is supposed to be a vintage beat up desk, so yes, the drawers might be a bit crooked. I like it this way
Luckily, I had an old diorama I never finished building, so I thought I'd try and use that since it's already 1/4 finished (deadline for Round 1 is the 24th)
Don't mind the stick up Joker's butt, I haven't built the stool yet...lol
Check out the before and after staining photos!
So yea, stained the floor, baseboard, desk, and cobbled together a little bench. The wallpaper you see was just a test (and to cover up the styrofoam for picture). I have another pattern in mind. I have some brass drawer pulls on the way as well as some props.
Man do I have respect for you guys that build miniatures. I got my handles in today and put them on the desk. I think I am permanently cross-eyed...lol
"nail"
Brass plate, handles, and nails. The finger under the cup is my pinky!
I tried to dirty them up a bit, but they are so small it doesn't really make much difference as you will see
Almost finished!
With the lights on
(love the new forum format BTW!)
