Alice in Cyberland Card soldier

Inspired by >this< work from Mr. Alaya's 'Modeller Strangelove' in November 2007 I started assembly some scrap parts, putty and plasticard...

Soon the project lied on my bench waiting inspiration..
Meanwhile I found some decoupage "things" I could use for the spear head and practice with Photoshop.

With the right mood, it tooks me only a weekend to complete it.

The base skeleton is a simple affair of plasticard "U" beams.

"Collar" was a 1/35 sacale tank wheel, arms are directly from an 1/550 Bandai Neue Ziel and shoulders are Option Parts.

It is a fixed pose models, joints don't work.

The spare head is a pair of cheap ear-ring pendants;
I scanned a real card front and back for the body.

 

All starts when sensei Kow Yokoyama (Mr. Maschinen Krieger) made some short stories back in the late eighties about 'Alice in Wonderland'. Old school, not the Disney version ---> an example from his site.

This is the model reproduced by Alaya-san that give me the idea, than I re-discovered sensei's work.
You can see some characters in his Sketch Book, too not to mention the 'White Rabbit' model he exhibited at the Ma.K 25th anniversary event (<-- link from 'Der Zweite Plan' website)

Model scene was quite animated in Japan in the '80-'90!
