You guys just knock me out with the precision and artistry of your work with those tiny figures.

This is "Fantastic Cora" based on Raquel Welch's character from "Fantastic Voyage". Since you guys were sharing I thought I would jump in as well.

I don't know the character that this represents but it looks like you did a nice job on painting the face.

Is this a specific scene from the movie? I don't know if her outfit supposed to be white and if it is that is fine too, but I'd like to make a suggestion and you can take it or leave it of course.

Because she has such light skin tones, it might add more visual interest to the piece if you painted the clothes a darker color. Something to match her eyes or even some color from the base. Something to help draw the viewers eyes to look around the figure instead of being drawn to the bright colors of the base. This can be accomplished with some careful reworking and steady hands, which you appear to have.

With such a great face and a figure to match, that is what the viewer should be invited to gaze at. I think it is well done and it could be really eye catching if some color was added to the figure.

These are just suggestions and your the only one that has to be happy with the piece. Hope your not offended by my uninvited suggestions.

Nice job painting those figures. It helps when talented sculptors like Cusinelli provide such a wonderful 'canvas'. RE: Cora, I believe the white outfit was from the movie, sort of a scuba suit.
Thanks for sharing, guys!

Maybe it's because I'm old, but I thought "Fantastic Voyage" was a classic sci-fi movie. The white diving suit is from the movie, and it caused my cheap digital camera to over-expose badly. You're certainly correct that a differant color would have worked better but I wanted to remain faithful to the movie.

I was not aware of the fact that in the movie the suit was white, that's why I asked. I'd leave it white in that case. Being a stick in the mud when it comes to accuracy, I would have likely done the same thing if I built the piece myself.

I just spent most of my life trying to make images visually interesting and even after being retired for more years than I'd like to mention, I just can't turn off the brain when it comes to looking at the world that way.

Thanks,

Do you remember the Mad Magazine spoof of Fantastic Voyage? :D
