Malta Police Sergeant :)

Ray Mon Apr 11, 2011 5:46 pm

Keeping a 15yr old PROMISE to the Best Sergeant I've ever had in my 25yrs as a boy in blue I've embarked on this project

Making a Malta Police Sergeant from this Verlinden offering

It was sent to me by a great American buddy/brother Joe Hudson with an extra head sans eye patch & I thought it was more appropriate to perform SURGERY on this one then on the General der Fliegel presenting a medal as I would paint that as it is later on

So, here is where I am with the SURGERY

Until the next installment, happy modelling guys n gals

Yes it is JF & the caption will read "hands, out of pockets!" a phrase this Sarge used to point out a lot to one of my senior mates in the same shift

As I said, it has been too long in the making & during my recent spree of painting the 5 figures for my "current mates" I pinched myself to "remember this OVERDUE promise" to one of best of the "Old Guard"

Some more progress on this dude

Instead of trying to eat my way around the resin pants (as I tried to do in the begining) I opted for the legs wire armeture, after pulling the boots out of the resin pants as you can see
Legs are just roughly "fleshed up" with MS to strenghten & solidify the armeture for things to come.....the pants

Also reworked the cap & badge which is a bit on the big size & which I plan to address soon (won't live with the guilt feeling eh) & the chin strap also done & ready

Hair & moustache also in place where I fleshed the cheeks just a bit before, for a more "Maltese" look

Arms are also repositioned, where I used the lower part on the right arm while I reworked the upper part. The left arm was reworked completely on the usual wire armeture while using a hand from my spares box

Boots awaiting the laces are also upgraded accordingly

Happy modelling guys n gals until the next installment

Cool ... you should continue on a very good model and prepare it for civilian scratch for Euro mate ...

He really remind me of those typical 80s mustaccuni sergeant long lost ... as the song by our local kantawtur Trikkas used to say parodija ta Sairway to Heaven about CIDs and the Corp, 'Bil-Mustacci twal, twal, qieshom Leli l-Furnar ...'

Cool figure!

Contemplated the thought re Civilian Class @ Euro mate, at the very early stages

But that means putting in 101% at this time of the year when I have so much on the production line

Well, will see how it turns out & act from then onwards anyway, as it might be "the unexpected rule" after all

No comments about that!! Twisted Evil

It is coming along nice, but just starting to wonder why you needed the resin figure in the first place Wink

Wink

since there is a lot of scratch building involved.

JF thanks for looking & your kind words

Yes I needed a BASE to work from like the capped head, jacketed torso & booted legs

I would have taken till eternity & would still not be able to sculpt the above mentioned items for sure

The scratch building required, is quite straight forward & not as complex as the items mentioned above

Some minor alterations to my "hastey/pre meditated short cuts" updates

Well, contemplating on Ivan's instigation & my premature thoughts re this piece I am giving him my 101% & enter him in the Scratch/Conversion Civilian Class this coming Euro if God Wills It

So, I tackled the cap's badge without any further ado, as I said it was way too big & TOO SHORT CUT

It is still a tad bigger (1.4mm over, give or take) but, I'm pleased with the outcome as after I diminished the existing Maltese Cross that I sculpted earlier on, I managed to cut the circular belt from 2thou plastic sheet + the Maltese Flag sheild within

The ribbon beneath was fabricated from Duro & any "detail" will be added later on with paint simulation (I HOPE )

Ok, that is enough blabbering....now enjoy some lousy pics

Hey you wounded Don Luigi Nannu Pec, after that gun fight at the OK Coral ah no no that was your ancestor in the Wild West sowwy it was in the mountains & narrow streets of Bagaria in Palermo last week mikkinu

Yes of course you know him as he was there during your reign as the of AirMalta

He was not very nice towards you as you kept "stealing" me from my ANTI TERRORIST DUTIES & leading me to a wasteful life of coffees, modelling & all the DIRTY REST , so I don't blame him at all because if I was in his place I would have hung you & me by the kooks at the departures

But, he was one heck of a gentleman + a true Policeman.....he was lucky as he served during YesterYear, when everyone had an IDENTITY.......now it has become TOO BLATANTLY POISONOUS as the TOXIC WASTE has reached our doorsteps
