ok so in between allowing drying times for traction engine parts I have started another 'first.'. a posable doll type model..I have not tried any doll type models befor although there are plenty of cartoon type out there...

I was well into the model and seemed to be going not too bad when I realized I had no pictures of it..this one showing the head done.. this had to be resized as the original was a large comic type head, the joints I have simplified, using tubes.. an oversize one seen in the shoulder, one leg complete and the other waiting for the joint to dry... the arms waiting for shoulder and elbow joints..the feet I have to design myself asI require ballet type feet and slippers... there is one I have tried on the board..



OK...  ... here is the near complete model... hair to come... and perhaps a face..
 in a comic pose for now..

here is the pose that will be the display pose..

ok.. still waiting for some hair, but here is the doll with 'new feet' .. ;-)

Ok.... so here is the dancer mounted, still waiting for hair... I am doing another.... but have down sized the head a little more and the hands also.. we shall see if theat looks better.. ;-)

Here we have thew finished Showman's Traction Engine...  it was a kit.. I am not really impressed with the kits.. they leave a lot to be desired... parts actually fitting at per cut would be nice... if a template is supplied you expect it to work... not a lot of point other wise..
