3D MOON & STARS - A BETTER LOOK AT HARVEY

Whilst i am sorting out the stars for this project (i have had problems with the stars i will tell you more in a minute about that). I thought you might like to have a better look at Harvey so far. Sorry about the poor lighting. The day light is poor & sadly the UK goverment is having a big 'lets pretend to be doing something for the enviroment' & has banned all normal decent size/power light bulbs. We can only buy lower wattage enviromentally friendly bulbs these days of which the MAX wattage is 70Watts, & they are totally rubbish. I can no longer read in the living room now as these bulbs are so low. Oops rambling aren't i?

Here is a quick look at Harvey without his stars for now. I varnished him once the paint was dry but forgot to take into account the varnish would darken the paint so he IS a little darker than i originally intended but he still looks fairly okay.

As i said i had a few problems with the stars. As in i rushed to finish them & went & put too much varnish on each star. The result is a really horrible set of dribbles down & over the backs of the stars. I have high lighted some of the worst on this larger star in case the poor picture does not show it clearly for some people.

















I will have to re-tissue them ALL & then re-paint & this time 'carefully' apply the varnish without rushing it. I do apologise for this mess up. I normaly take my time & correct any faults as they appear. This time i was just in too much of a rush.
