Spring Cleaning - A-bad'un the Bit-smaller
Adjusting the pose
One problem with the original model is the generic pose which isn't that dynamic... the first thing i wanted to change was the general pose so one leg was raised slightly. Taking a hobby knife i cut away at the join between the hip and thigh...
I did the same process with the section behind the knee, the final pose needs his knee bent so his foot can still be flat when hes re-based.
with a bit of encouragement the leg was removed without too much damage to the rest of the torso, with the leg free from the body it was much easier to bend the knee in the angle that i wanted.
after reposing i re-attached the leg using super glue and rebuilt the missing section with some greenstuff.
Before the greenstuff could fully dry I stood the model up and placed a 3mm off cut of MDF under the raised leg to make sure the leg remained in the right elevation.
