wombatie Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I cut this about 4 weeks ago and then I got sick. Was not the right time to paint him because I put paint were there shouldn't be paint. Anyway I am posting the 2 versions of Elmo, I usually paint him because I always think that kiddies prefer color and I think he looks better painted. I have had the pattern for years and I have no idea where I got it from, so sorry about that. As usual its cut from 3mm Marine ply. Hope you like him.

Kepy Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I would think the painted version would be a hit with kids. Great job. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdatelle Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 They both came out great Marg. I did a few portraits of Betty Boop and Mickey Mouse and I had to paint them also. Just didn't look right not painted. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Both look great. I think kids would love both of them. I doubt the paint would make any difference. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I like the red one. Is there any particular reason you use marine ply? Rob wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I like the red one. Is there any particular reason you use marine ply? Rob Rob BB is too expensive here same as it probably is in NZ so I find that Marine Ply cuts nicely, no voids, no break offs and comes in thin pieces that fit into bought frames.
