Hello Stemians,

Last week I put out a challenge to make a balloon model from one of the suggested models. You can read it here: https://steemit.com/challenge/@gwb235/new-ballon-model-challenge-number-one

Well, there was only one suggestion, from brisby@brisby, which was for a balloon model version of Beetlejuice. I have a couple of photos of the process of making him, but I guess I could have done more, but I wasn't confident in this model, but I might just have gotten away with the resulting fella, but only by the skin of the teeth, which Beetlejuice has much of :). Here's the finished model.... well, his head, for now :) :

These models never quite look right on their way to being made and can sometimes put you off, because they look so flimsy or weird, but the more you do the better you get and you have to continue, just to see what becomes of it. The following pictures may explain what I am trying to say, better than I presently am :).

This is the earliest picture taken and it looks a bit odd.

The basic facial features went on (I'm no artist) and I ralised that the legs were too thin.

So, I changed one of his legs, but it was a teeny, weeny bit too long...

I added another leg, made the both equal and shorter, added boots and hands:

And all that was left was to add the hair and colour the trousers and a few tidy bits and bobs and this is the result:

So, I hope that you liked it. Thank you, brisby@brisby, for the suggestion and it was fun to do and thank you to everybody else, for reading and viewing this and all of my posts are 100% original content (or picture linked/sourced directly, if used). 100% of all curator rewards will go to the curators of this post, because I don't upvote my own work and all rewards are powered up 100% for Steem Power.
