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! ....

after the front prepairing was finished we had this

and we want this paintjob ...

i paint all the dark colors (except at the green middle) on there place the have a base coat (used watercolor at all)

the grounding is finished and i add some effects and highlights now

i did some highlights at the red area

i made a movie of the highlight process at the side

at this technique u have to make sure, that you have a dry brush with only a least color on it

thats the result

i painted some effects on the leaves and the middle stripe (i used my white edding)

i put some details on the technical thing in the middle

afterwards i highlighted the hump on the buttom and the big humps at the head (black and white edding used)

i know,
as i noticed that between the donuts (you called) was not enough for my design ... i pimped it with a piece of an superstar destroyer model, i bought a long time ago and so it does not 100% match

hope u like it even so
