Hello! This is the little Blinx model I've been working on as a little project for the last few weekends... Hahaha! Nah, only joking, THAT was the one I made about 4 years ago when I was 10! THIS is the one that I've just finished.... I know it has many mistakes (the gloves are too big, so is the neck guard thingy on his coat, the boots look a bit weird, etc, etc) but this is only the first Blinx model I've made, and also I've only just got into modelling. Here's a more detailed pic of his face.... A picture without his sweeper in hand... And a comparison of my old model and the new one.... I'm sorry they're so big, I'm a bit pushed for time to resize them! I'd love to hear what you think of them and any suggestions for if I made any more! Oh and I've got some pics of the model in earlier stages of production, ask if you want to see them by any chance.

.... O.O That is the best thing I've ever seen! Really, I'm not kidding! ... Wow, it looks so real.. I wish I had one. XD .... I don't know why, but his shoes look perfect.. Same with the sweeper.. Awesome job!

Awww, thankyou very much indeed! The sweeper was hard to make, but I'm glad it turned out alright!

That's impressive. I like it. Makes me wish people would read my books as much as your art.

Fantasy, poems and short stories. I've been writting for nearly 11 years but didn't bother publishing any of my work. I did, however, write many Blinx stories. At least 6 so far.

OH MY GOSH. It's so cute~<3 Wowowowowow. I've worked with clay before, and I thought I was pretty good with it, but now I feel like an amateur. Question. What kind of clay and paint do you use? I've been wanting to get my own clay and such, but I've never been sure what kind to get. And what about firing it? Do you put it in an oven at all or something? I've never been sure how to do that kind of stuff with clay at home, and not knowing what kind of clay to get, so I never picked up clay again after 8th grade. Anyways, have you considered doing commissions? I think you'd do a great job, I know I'd want a Blinx sculpture. The details on the eyes are really good too! I hated painting eyes.. it was like, the worst thing ever. xD The one you did when you're 10 is cute too. xD

Yay! I'm glad you like it! Well, it's not really clay as such, but a sort of plasticene marketed at young model makers that can be solidified in an oven. It's called Fimo, but there are lots of other brands that are similar. As for paint, I use acrylic paints that I use for painting wargames miniatures (very geeky hobby, I know ). I probably won't be making anymore for a while, as I've got a lot of miniatures that need attention, but maybe in the months to come I could make some more. I'm thinking of making some sculptures of Time Monsters or perhaps other characters such as Catherine, the CEO, a TomTom, etc.
