This enlargement has a photo inset to give a better idea of scale with a quarter beside his head (I kept actually bumping it into his nose trying to hold it there and click the camera at the same time -lol)

Flitwick is painted in oils with acrylic details and hoof/eye/nostril glossing. The base was painted with acrylics and hobby craft store materials added on top to create the "flora". All have been well coated with many layers of finishing spray to help prevent rubs and allow for performance showing.

There's a small pink lip spot that doesn't show up too well unless you are holding him, but you can kind of see it here.

I have signed over my sculpted signature on one thigh the "MK 06" in black and on the other thigh signed it "AP #1"

I don't think I have ever gotten any resin and painted it up this quickly! Nor had so much fun doing it!!! :D I can just picture the little kid running after this mischievous lil' guy who definitely doesn't want to get ridden today!

This artist proof Flitwick is detachable and comes with two types of bases:

a simple flat base, painted glossy black with "grain" effects,
and a rock wall base where I've added all the bells and whistles.

He also comes with a custom cut and fitted foam filled & lined box to carry it all safely to shows and protect the resin's finish and the base's "plants"! :D

***TIME PAYMENTS ALLOWED!*** - please read all details below on terms. Tx!

Shown below with the simple black base. The angle here is a little less high of a jump when placed in this base. Otherwise it looks a bit too odd without the wall! :D

Base was given a woodgrain finish and glossed around the sides.

Carrying case (below) has a slot for the simple base, and two form fitted areas also cut into the high density foam (soft, NOT styrofoam) to place the resin and base into. The top sets down with a cut out area for the wall and plants to avoid touching the sides, and then a padded extended area to hold down the rock wall and keep it from moving about and damaging the grass and finish.
