Finished Article. Off for powdercoat

nice work...i think i would add lots of bristles to the brush though

 

[cumbriasteve]

Agree on both counts: Like the model, especially the angular construction, to me the brush head needs loads more bristles.

Good work I really like the model.

 

[Migmac]

Very nice, more bristles

 

[gordon stephenson]

As per above, Very nice. Does the figure have any significance, Business, decorative,advertising, etc?

 

[chunkolini]

That's sweet, especially the model.
I like the lack of details, eg face and fingers etc. The legs on the large version are great.

Was actually my Grandad who asked me to make it, He stressed it would be a Paid Job...Think he was trying to keep me busy with a Job bless him. Its going to be a piece for his Garden.

The Little figure is 7" Tall, the scaled version sits a smidge under 59" Tall.

The Small figure is made from Horseshoe nails, He just wanted a basic 2x1 box section version, but i decided to re-create the head of the nails, essentially making 2.5ft long horse shoe nails....

Its going for powdercoat next week, going to finished in a Matt Black to give it that silouette Looking.

I did wonder about more bristles, They are just 1.6mm Mild steel TIG Rod

That's pretty cool.
I love the small one, those type of models that use scrap industrial items pieced together to form a sculpture.

It is the little touches that make these pieces the "turn up on the hat brim" just finishes it for me

Yes, just wish i had gone for a slightly larger tube and cap...tube is 4" Dia, The base plate was 6". Should of got 7" i reckon so it would turn up more

That's brilliant, top work.
