Bi Do Bi Do... Minion. Finished
« on: December 07, 2014, 05:15:54 PM »
This should be a quicky.
Whilst swanning aroung Europe I lucked in to being in Belgium for the IPMS Plastic and Steel show in October 2014. Great show.. and around the Traders I bought this


A nifty Minion from Despicable Me!

Pretty much only a paint job, but it fits here just nice

I made three minions(from the SSM store) for my wife a couple of years ago. I used cat hairs on one of the minions. Cat hair is abundant and easy to obtain - I just asked my modeling assistant if she wanted to be brushed.

Same at my place except it's dog hair, there's enough hair to make a new dog wafting around the tiles each morning even though my wife sweeps it up twice a day.  Maybe I could collect and market it ;)

Do you have to paint the eyes?
