Victorian Costum
« on: September 03, 2010, 01:48:59 »
HI!
As some might have read before, I started customizing (or costuming?) not long ago. And being Victorian my favorite theme it was natural to me to go in this direction. I've done several victorian men but turned out that women were a lot more pintoresque to me. So I started a serie called "Ladies at the park". Here is the first I came up with. I love the result.




The hat is a western hat that I have modified and painted. The feathers I've done myself and the stones are from an old fantasy ring (thank you mom  :love:) Tried to make it look luxurious as she is the finest lady there. The fur boa is not Playmobil, I molded it myself and I was amazed of how similar to the real Playmobil one, it turned out.


Every lady at the Park is walking her dog. As she is the finest, her dog has a diamond collar. I'm not really happy with it....still have to improve it.

Well that's all for now. More ladies tomorrow.  Hope you like her!
Tonguello.

Excellent custom of a lovely late Victorian period lady.

The "boa" is magnificent and it does indeed look Playmobil.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful creation with us!

great!! she's very nice, though if I'd met her in real life I'd have thought that she was a bit too snobbish for me ;)

the boa and the hat are really awesome!
I don't wanna grow up!

Wow! This one is really stunning.  :wow:

Love all the little details you added and the colour scheme is very elegant. I thought the boa was Playmo until you said you made it yourself. You definitely have a talent for modelling as well as painting. 8-)

Thanks for sharing your beautiful creation! :heart:

Beautiful work, Gaston very elegant.  I too was thrown by the boa.  It looks completely at home.
