Snoopy (WWI Flying Ace)




My good buddy Kurt has a pilot's license and flies planes (real and model) and is a big aviation buff, so for his birthday one year I made him this Snoopy sculpt.






Pretty basic setup... I did the doghouse first and then put Snoopy on top after he was finished. His arms have small armatures in them but that's about it. The doghouse is solid. Snoopy didn't take me that long to finish. The hardest part was matching Snoopy's classic grimace in his face and making it work from every angle!



His scarf has wires running through it. This gave it support to make it sturdy but also doubled as the yarn in the end of the scarf.





I left this one unpainted because Kurt is an artist himself too. In fact these pictures were taken at his desk when he was doing storyboards for Warner Bros. Kurt really got a kick out of it.




Thank you Mr Schulz for giving us Snoopy and all his pals. You are very missed down here.
