Got one of my orders from a year and 2 months ago!

So about last Jan. I found an artist in Spain that makes 1/8th scale arcade replicas that are never going to be released due to what games they are. But anyway I ordered all the main Nintendo cabinets from the 80’s (they are my ultimate favorite design for an arcade cabinet along with Ms. Pac-Man.

Well anyway DK3 was the first to arrive! And I am floored!! His name is Pablo and he was on Ebay but he said 90% of his business comes from Etsy. He is paying all my shipping and tariffs due to the fact we both agreed to wait and see if the tariffs would come down and by Nov we decided to wait till well after the holiday season as I was getting packages of statues from my friends in Turkey and Belgium that were badly broken up. I did a lot of gluing.

So here it is Donkey Kong 3 1/8th size (smaller than my Quarter Arcades that are seen in my office picture!

Cuphead is DONE!

Finished the other night but was about 3/4 this morning and didn’t feel like posting at the time. Here are the final pics and a turntable video

Printed on Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16k resin printer. Weight assembled is about 2.5lbs.
Only grass, dirt and visible skin (head and legs) were airbrushed the rest was hand painted.

Cuphead Coming Along!

Hello all! I just finished the heads and the body and shorts. I need to paint the shoes, and the flower guy and some mushroom dude. Then pain the flower grass. Glue it, and I’ve decided to get some contour putty to fill in the crack that runs down the middle of the piece no matter how much I sand it won’t come together 100%. Meh I think the putty will do the job. Plus it runs through the middle of the waterfall I can spike up the putty a bit and move it around so it looks like ripples.

My goal is to have this done by Thursday as I have many appointments prior to then. We’ll see tonight I’m going to paint the boots. His (Cuphead) needs more paint on the shorts and straw. Mugman needs a few more coats of the skyish blue I mixed for his shorts, nose and straw.

Anyway shout out to my friends on Etsy!!!

First project of the new room underway

I’m working on a model diorama from the video game Cuphead. (wrote an article here). For the grass I mixed a bright florescent green then downed it a bit with a wood green. Airbrushed the brown and green. Then had to go back and do some light touch up where the green went into the dirt. I did that with a brush and you can’t even tell. Next part for me is the two big poker chips they diorama sits on.

Starting to populate the Art Studio

I need to find a way to get the printer onto the other table because it feel right in my face when I’m airbrushing. The problem is I only bought $50 8ft tables and they sag bad in the middle. So until i support the mid with some 2×4’s I’ve gotta keep it where it is. My paints are all setup and my brushes and airbrush. The wash / cure station is setup but I gotta like I mentioned get the printer on the table on the right.
