so thats the starting position
i wanna describe howto modelling, at the following pic you see 3 areas
i want to sand the red area
i want to make some structure on the leaves (green area)
i want to create another interesting structure on area blue
i used some sandpaper and put it around a pice of lumber
and removed careful layer for layer ....
a few holes remain...
so i decided so fill with the spackle
i found a drinking straw with a hinge and decided to use the hinge to make the structure of the leaves
i put some spackle sausages on the place a want, waited a few minutes (to hardening) and then i put carefully the hinge on the sausages
you can see on left side the drinking straw done but on the right side not
i used a old chiller to groove the blue area
now i put some spackle on it and pulled the chiller in the direction i want over it
now are both sides done
the whole front and u can see the filling (red area is done), the leaves and the blue area is structured
.... Stay tuned! ....
