The steadfast tin soldier

Posted by Ochoin on 10 Oct 2023, 12:30

Does everyone know the traditional fairy tale of the miscast tin soldier who falls in love with a music box ballerina?

I have long had this miscast figure & decided, for a bit of fun, to paint, shade & base it as a representation of the fairy tale.

Not sure what I'll do with it.

What an original idea, Donald! :shock:

Now you have to find a suitable ballerina figure for the soldier. I think this will be the hardest part. :mrgreen:

Go on with the project! :yeah:

Hi Donald,
nice idea. I would paint it and add a ballerina.
Once I used this figure as ballerina:

I prefer Michael's figure better, Peter's ballerina seems less demure to me. :tongue:
