This was my entry for the VIC #9 online exhibition. This was a great figure sculpted by Werner Klocke. I just couldn't resist cutting it apart though. I chopped off his head and hands, added new ones and sculpted hair, boots and a scarf around his neck. I also hand built the ship's mast out of wood. After that was all completed, I couldn't figure out how to make the whole contraption stand up and then I hit upon the idea for the tentacle. I sculpted the tentacle out of green stuff. It makes for a nice base and also adds to the little vignette. Hope you like it. If you'd like to know more about the VIC, see the original figure, or want to look at other peoples interpretations of this miniature, just go to http://www.miniature-painting.net/ and click on the visions tab.
