Feeling of size of model

Dear all

I was so pleased that I had managed to join Buzz's thighs that I wanted to get a feel for the size of the model as soon as possible. So I added some internal supports for the formers at the bottom of the thighs

Then here is my Apollo 11 mug

along with the 1/24 model astronaut Gene

together with the 1/4 model of the legs

I then added life-size Buzz's legs (just resting the parts on each other) which is lower legs (shins and knees) and upper legs

Strangely I was surprised by the size of the model (which is odd since it is life-size human so that should be a "familiar sized object")

I think the model is starting to come to life. There is still quite a bit of work to do on Buzz's upper legs but it does feel as if a bit of a bridge has been crossed.

Hope the above pictures have made up for the long haul through the making of the legs.

Regards

Kevin
