Steppin' Out Robin

[BAZ]

I have my first custom done. Steppin' Out Robin. He didn't turn out as nice as I had hoped, but I like him. Right now he's wearing his Uncle Kermit's Top Hat.

I have some pictures on MySpace

If anyone has an extra Kermit or Fozzie Top Hat, please contact me.

Thanks

It's real easy..Take one Frog Scout Robin, remove everything that doesn't look like a tux, then using sculpy add everything that does look like a tux!..

Seriously, that's not too far from the truth. I removed the hat and scarf. Using a dremel (my christmas gift) I sanded down the cuffs on the shirt and pants, plus flatting out some of the details on the shirt. Then started adding things back with sculpy. I used the boil method and worked in pieces, boiling after adding each new piece. Added pant legs, then boiled. Sleeves, boiled. That way I didn't mess one thing up as I worked on the next.

Robin

What do you mean he doesn't look as good as you'd have liked...I think he looks great. I'm gonna go to SilverSnail & buy a few more, & try it too. (They're on sale for ten bucks now!)

Great Job!!!!
