Jane's attic, update XXIV, a vintage mannequin.

Dear reader,

This update offers a pictorial account of something that many of my female readers surely will find appealing: a mannequin that I just finished for Jane's attic, seen here standing next to a coal kit made earlier for the same purpose.

The basis for the mannequin model was a kit made of plastic; a material which I'm not very fond of, preferring instead the use of more 'natural' materials like wood, metal and stone. Yet I saw it had potential, so I decided to give it a try and see what I could make of it.

The above image shows the original kit. It doesn't look like much, does it?! Well, to me as a miniaturist, the challenge is to try to transform something as unappealing and 'dead' as these pieces of plastic into something 'alive' and interesting to look at! Below images illustrate the result of my endeavors, which I hope you will like. Your feedback is always welcome!
