Cheetah Woman

#1 Post by kevtk135 »

The Cheetah Woman is from Black Sun Miniatures from the UK. It is 65 mm in size, and comes in 6 resin parts. The sculpting is quite good and fit tightly together.
Image

Test fitting the parts the only questionable part is where the head joins the body on the right side. Unless I'm attaching it wrong - and that's entirely possible, there looks to be a gap in the hair. No worries if need be, a little Aves will do the trick.
Image

It took no time at all for the model to be all assembled.
Image

Looking up some images for a painting example, the one that kept showing up was this one -
Image

Good enough. The looking it over again, and looking at a pic of a real cheetah, I decided to use the real cheetah color.

The base coat was added -

And then some details. Thanks for looking.

Taking the next step for the cheetah woman was to put the spot son. This model was done right after I did the mini Close Encounters dio. After putting in all those dots for lights, I should have thought ahead and did something else. Here we go with more dots...

To finish her off, she needed a base. As a reader of the Massive Voodoo blog, they recently had an article where the author tries to fit an entire story onto a small base. Michaels had these 2"X2" blocks, and I decided to try that. O took the block, and added a piece of foam to create a level. Also added was bits of cork. Yet another article I read somewhere was to tear off pieces of cork and it will make realistic rocks. This is supposedly better than having a drawer full of rocks. ;) That gave me this -
Image

Once the glue for the foam and cork dried, I coated the entire top with Vallejo Desert Paste. While still we I added Cheetah and a few more stones.
Image

Once that was dry I added some more paste, and added some dried grass tufts, and more cork rocks. With that applied, I was done. Thanks for looking.
