Evil Snow White Fountain is done!

 Back in December of 2024, I had started work on a piece of scenery that I named "The Evil Snow White Water Fountain". The item consisted of the following:

1: A plastic "Snow White" key chain figurine.

2: A plastic insert for a tube for stackable shelving.

3: A piece of wooden dowel rod.

4: A Duke's Mayonnaise lid for the base.

Items used also were:

1: Squadron Green Putty.

2: Modge Podge, Gloss.

3: E-6000.

Paints were standard craft paints with the exception of Citadel Nihilakh Oxide.

After the statue was put together and painted, I went ahead and waited and finally got around to doing the water effects out of the spigot.

To do this I did the following:

Process was sorta easy.

1: If you have a Dremel or something drill a teeny-tiny hole into the end of the dowel. Paint it black.

2: Take some thin, clear, fishing line, and insert one end into the hole.

3: Seal with E-6000 (the clear stuff), and let it dry.

4: Once that is dry, take the other end and put it down onto the "water surface", and apply a dollop of E-600 to hold it into place. The tricky part here is making sure the fishing line stays in the direction that you want it to be in for the water to "pour out".

5: Once this is dry, apply E-6000 to the fishing line, in a nice thick coat all around, making it flow. Add a little to the bottom for the splash. Let dry and you're all done!

This makes a very effective way to produce "running water" and increases the visual appeal of items, such as the fountain.

And there you have it. 

Pics from start to finish. 

The Process:

(The Snow White figurine, with the evil, weird, red eyes that would become the statue....)

(Yeps, those eyes are red...she's either hungover, strung out on drugs, or evil....)

(Not just for sandwiches anymore....)

(Checking the inside...hmmm....)

(The base of the statue....)

(And here's how it's gonna look....)

(After priming statue, base, and foundation, it's time for the Green Putty. I love this stuff...)

(The base primed and assembled. Time for the finishing work....)

(Adding the gray base coat)

(With the green putty done, inside and outside, and the nihilakh oxide painted on, it's time to wait for the Modge Podge to dry...and wait....and wait....)

(Finally! Dry and clear still water....Time to add the gushing....)

(Voila! Finished product! Water gushes out of the spigots giving it a more realistic look and increasing the visible "kewl" factor!)

(Another view of the fountain. It's a nice piece!)

That's it for this entry, as more work is being done.

Come back soon as more is to come!
