WIP's pt. 2


Thought I'd include updates on the previous WIP's until they're finished.




The Guinea pig is now done, save for some tidying. He/she measures on my scale ruler 1inch and 4 lines, so 16 inches if it was 1/12th scale. Guinea pigs measure between 8 and 14 inches. So a bit too big. Bit too small for 1/6th though. I guess perfect for 1/9th, if that exists. You can see in comparison to the dogs how big it is. :-S But then they are very small dogs, in rl I estimated them at about 10 inches at the shoulder.

The two dogs have heads now (one baked). Actually they started out as the same dog, but I changed my mind on the pose, (well, chose the wrong pose from the photos I was sent, lol) So the sitting dog is on the back burner till all my current stuff is finished. It's going to be a mini poodle.

The cat (Jasper) is a persian, and I've started furring, about 1/4 of the way there. I'm using a by-my-hand blend of apricot coloured alpaca and honey coloured silk.

edit: The guinea pig next to the dog was really bugging me, so I went and looked up Guinea pigs next to small dogs and found these cute videos. they make me feel better about the size of mine.

  1. There is a 1:9 scale but the size you have made it will also work as 1:6 scale for a small size guinea pig (8 to 9 inch).
    Good work!
