Brisket Bust by Broken Toad: Lawnor's first ever bust (& a cheeky attempt at winning the Spring Cleaning comp)
Assembly and repairs
Gah! Damage!I’ve had 3 people say she’s good to go and no one say I should retry the gold so I’ve assembled her. Once built I noticed that there is a new scratch or crack or something on her left arm. I was hoping it was a hair but it wouldn’t wash or brush off. I mixed up some more of the base tone and tried to paint over it. It didn’t seem to be taking so I put 2 coats of gloss varnish over it to fill the crack. It painted over better after that. I then added more Caramel to re-apply a highlight, and then more Sunburnt Flesh to make a shade, which I turned in to a glaze in the end and applied over the whole area a few times. I think I’ve recovered.
Successfully repaired? I've just noticed that white dot on her left breast which cannot be seen outside of zoomed in photos. I've mixed up a glaze of the highlight tone and I think I've gotten rid of it now too.
That’s it! You’ve drove to search eBay and the rest of the Internet to find my own Brisket Bust.
Fantastic work by the way! ??
I’d point you towards their website but it’s been down since before i started work. I’m assuming they just wanted to close their shop temporarliy due to the current situation. They seem to have a KS coming up soon for models based on The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth so they are still in business.
If I can help with advice, experience or more pics when you start painting, please ask.
Thanks for the offer of tutelage. I’ll take you up on that, once I locate a shop that has one for sale.
The search is a bust, (so to speak), at this time. But I’ll keep looking! ?
Someone has to have bought one and then decided not to paint it. Just a matter of time till they sell it. ?
Thats how I got mine. I think she’s £35ish normally. Mine cost £15 after postage. I was dead chuffed. Wouldn’t have bought a bust at the time if the price wasn’t good. They get expensive.
