Balloon Tutorial & Help / Re: Working from Photos

I wanted to say thanks for the advice and post what I eventually came up with.
The model I ended up making ended up looking very cartoon like, which I liked and ended up giving it eyes.
It looked better in real life than in the photo, just couldn't seem to capture it well.
I thought it looked a bit like Mater from the film Cars so may have a go at that soon too.

Seem to have a bit of a thing for cars at the moment as I ended up making a racing car from a photo and basically based on David Grist's design I think. I made this for my sister as she is working on a F1 film at the moment and it went down brilliantly, really chuffed with it so I thought I would share.

I watched it with my boy and he loved it and has asked me to record it everyday for him. Definitely a success.

Thanks for the tips so far guys I really appreciate it.
The model needs to be a fairly small one really do I thought about maybe making it in 160s so I could add more detail easily?

Hi guys,
I just wondered if you guys had any hints and tips for working from a photo.
This is as I have just been asked to do a custom sculpture and have been given a photo of a  mk3 GT Cortina to work from.

I'd be interested, I haven't been able to get to any events of this kids before so would be great to actually get to meet some of you.

Quote from: "danieltwist"Just because I post at lot doesn't make me a spammer. I respond to comments which is what forums are for.


Seems like Trolling more than Spamming to me.

I think these steps sound great.

Will the site be down at all while the work is going ahead?
