Here is my effort....I decided to make him 3 foot 6.
Next time I would give him wider hips. his light on chest has a real light in 😆

I started to make a larger version of Iron Man but struggled with getting the face right.
So went back to making a smaller version and adapting a design I made a while back.
The first picture with goldenrod is a design I made a few years back
now so just updated it a little and used the chrome gold.

I'm on face number 4 for the larger version and will keep playing
and post pictures shortly of the larger version.

I struggled making the head look right on the larger model of Iron Man.
I will post all my versions onto another thread so we keep this one
a little more tidy. I think this was head version five.
Just looking at all the other head design pictures this might be version
8 or 9.... I did not realise I made so many, Insert shocked emoji face!

It eventually came out OK.


The other thread to see how my Iron Man evolved.

Here is my attempt at the cat design.
I then went slightly off picture and design with version two.

Both together and then I made a slightly bigger head for the cat.
I think it looks nicer with the smaller original head.

Here is my attempt of the cat from an artist Balloon TwistTEE who's work is gorgeous.
I didn't quite capture the cuteness and mine is rather chunky...but I like that.
I'm glad Graham chose this for our challenge.
And for his help on how to do the eyes...thank you!!!

This week I had a go at making Grahams Tiffany lamp....I chose this out of thousands of others on balloon chat as It's a gorgeous design.

I made it to enter the competition to win a Blackpool Balloon Bash ticket...I'm already going but would give to someone that can't afford to go.

Graham Lee

I'm pleased the lamp inspired you Danielle.
The added lights are a good idea as well.

I also added the cracked effect to the design and the electrical lead.

It was my turn to set the challenge. What usually happens is Danielle sends
me 3 or 4 pictures and I choose the one I like best from those to try.
We did it this way again, the design we decided to try and
re create was the reindeer by Masayoshi Matsumoto.

This is his website, https://www.behance.net/isopresso9c59

I thought the upper and lower body was a 350 but on reflection its a
260 in Masayoshi Matsumoto design. My deer looks a little fat.

Great pics of ypurs Graham...looks great...
I thought this would be fairy quick....but the hardest bit was at the end getting his posture right.  I think mine needed an extra pinch twist at the neck to bring it more upright.
I love the look of Masayoshi Matsumoto reindeer so I hope i have captured some of it in mine.

This week we approach Halloween and I come across Derek Wong from Twisted inflations ( http://www.twistedinflations.ca/ ) IT clown sculpture. It truly is a master piece and I struggled to get it made as well but gave it my best shot. Here is mine above Derek's....as if you wouldn't realise that...hee hee.
