"in" the cards

"in" the cards

Apparently the saying in the States is 'In the cards' but outside the States it's 'On the cards'. I don't know where the change came from but both mean the same thing and originate from old tarrot readers who used cards to read your future...

ugh, Americans and they're tendency to make everything more feaking complicated!
Temperature - Celcius: 0 = freezing point, Fahrenheit: 32 LOGIC!

Distances - Metric 1km = 1000m = 100000 cm, US 1 mile = 1760 yards 1yard = 3feet, 1foot = 12inches (divided into 1/16th..... ) LOGIC!

I'll skip weights and liquids cause it's the same giant clusterf.

Rant over

OK so my new Hawk has arrived, I went for the Bowen museum classic Hawk because the pose is by far the best for my diorama project and the sculpt looked pretty good, I also wanted a classic Hawk as he's a childhood favourite. Sadly as appears to be the case for most bowen statues the paint is very poor! There isn't any shading anywhere...just block colour!

I would have preferred the new Koto Hawk in almost every way other than the pose just wouldn't have worked with my dio!

Hawk will definately be getting a custom make over, much like Cap did...see pics below, I have added a little shading as there is not an ounce of shaing and it makes them look like a Ken dolls!

I think he's the right choice to finish this piece off though... I should have it completed this weekend..

OK so the project is almost complete, I could carry on with finer details and there is more that I know I can do but for the most part this is it...and for thise that haven't been following along or for the final set of pictures (hopefully!), here they are...

I've learnt a lot in making this piece, I know it could be a lot better but I'm pleased with the result.

Thanks for looking and for your support!

[Patu]

Thanks so much for your comments, I know there are things that could be better, but perhaps not bad for a first attempt..

I did really enjoy the project, in particular learning new techniques and playing with different materials..

I will post a complete project 'how-to' shortly.

Cheers
