New shop diorama

[chris pearson]

Heres the beginning of another 1/12th scale shop diorama. No, thats not a ghost, it's my cast urethane canoe builder before cleaning him up and painting him! He's going to have a great companion though!

 

[Greg Nolan]

Chris --

Nice doggy companion, but it looks like the canoe shop might be pretty chilly, with frost on the window and snow blowing under the door!

[Dave Wermuth]

Pretty cool Chris. But the shop's too clean.

 

[chris pearson]

Just wait, I'll dirty it up!

 

[Kathryn Klos]

Warm that fellow up a bit-- he seems a little chilly. Might be a two or three dog night for him...

Building this diorama might make a good article for WCJ... With lots of images showing progress along the way... Maybe even published in color?

Your usual beautiful work. I can't wait to see the finished product.

 

[Fitz]

Helper

The Helper is the wrong color.

Awesome as usual.

Fitz

 

[chris pearson]

He's so cute!

 

[Andre Cloutier]

I'd agree Fitz is a striking individual, but i dont find him cute. Just sayin...

Here's some more in process

More in process....looks like a 50 gallon bottle of super glue!

 

[Douglas Ingram]

And wine bottle sized thumb tacks!

Looks good...but the lack of dust and debris renders it inauthentic, even if the wood stove is about ready to burn the shop down!

 

[Rob Stevens]

Is that dental floss extension cord?

 

[chris pearson]

Hold your horses!

Not done with the dirt yet!!!!!!!!! In process shots!!!

 

[pklonowski]

Yeah, ya gotta get that "new shop smell" out of it before you put the dirt in....

 

[Dave Wermuth]

Hi Chris, is this a comissioned work? Going to a museum?

 

[chris pearson]

It's for R.C. Cross. R.C. hope you don't mind......

 

[chris pearson]

Fire in the belly...

Put a light in the pot belly this time, I like the subtle effect.....

 

[crosscuts]

No problem being ID'd Chris. This series makes me even more impatient for the wonderful results.

off the mold....

Got the canoe off the mold, except for gunwale work. 1/12th scales are pretty difficult, too small!!!! Arguably the smallest wood canvas canoes made???? Got the R.C. Cros figurine painted too! Hold on R.C., I'm getting closer!!!!
