Continuing work on the Miss Lydia Pickett Cottage Clock in 1:12 scale by Robin Betterley’s Miniatures.
I primed the main body, finial and feet with gesso. This helped me to see any flaws that needed to be addressed. I rather like the grey. :]
I glued the scroll pieces to the main face trim, leaving the final circle trim unattached. In order to give the scrolls more depth, I built them up with dabs of Golden Molding Paste.
Once primed, they look more dimensional. I’ve painted an initial coat of Liquitex Iridescent Bronze to the circle trims. This will all get some fine-tuning, but it’s a good start.
I applied spackling with a toothpick and smoothed it into gaps and partially exposed mortises.
The spackling smooths the edges where multiple layers are joined as well, like the sides of the curved front.
Next up, painting and artwork. :]
