Ok… Llellewyloly/Dandies project started, I’ve only made two so far.
The first I did by cutting 5 lengths of wire 12mm long, bending into approximately the right shape for Dandy legs and glued them to the base and then attached the pompom.
Next I tried entwining 5 strands of wire, but that didn’t work out at all.
My third try I cut 3 lengths of wire at 24mm laid them across each other in a sort of star pattern, then rolled half of the bottom strand around the others, after bending the ends to approximate the shape of the legs, I dabbed some superglue onto the folded section and stuck the pompom on top of it.
The third method seems to be the easiest and quickest, the legs still need work to get the shape right.
Fingers/toes are a problem, I tried to make them out of that plastic sprue type stuff. You can see my attempt on the left hand figure, perhaps they’ll look better painted.
They’re both not standing upright, and if they did the one on the left would be way too tall, while the one on the right might be a little bit taller than the Sword Worlder Jäger, but if we assume that the hair/fur is rather thick, (like a giant ‘fro), he/she is probably a fair bit shorter than the human, although he/she is probably regarded as tall for a Dandy.
More to follow……
