Description Here's my entry to %semi-sweeties 's

As the title may have suggested , the movie I chose is Grease.
I love musicals and the 50's are my favourite decade, so it makes sense that Grease is one of my all-time favourite movies!

I tried to reproduce the scene in which all the Greasers and Pink Ladies meet up at the local diner, the Frosty Palace. Click here for a screen cap!

Edit: whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Huge, huge thanks to =Kida-neechan for suggesting this as a DD, and to ^cakecrumbs for featuring
I'm so gleeful right now that it's kind of awkward

Technical breakdown:
Everything shown was handmade in a 1:6 scale; more specifically..

Burgers are made with polymer clay and coloured with chalks and acrylic paints. Click here for WIP pictures!

French Fries are also made with polymer clay and coloured with chalks. Click here for the DIY tutorial!

Tray, plates, mustard and ketchup were all made with clay and subsequently varnished.

Milkshakes are made of casting resin (base and cup), silicone (whipped cream) and paper clips (straws). Click here for WIP pictures!

Frosty Palace's Menu was designed in Corel Photopaint. I've used this illustration for the snowman on the cover, and a scan from this site for the inside menu.

Cigarettes are made of clay and painted with acryilic paints, while the cigarette box was designed in Corel Photopaint. Click here for close-ups!

For the table, I used a square of thin plastic, painted it with black and silver acrylic paints to get the marble effect, and varnished it; lastly, I've placed it on top of a silver cardstock base.

This world really does need to understand the health issues we face when it comes to things like these... snowmen are one of the underestimated killers of our generation!

Jokes aside, very nicely done; when I noticed just how small the scale was and the detail put into it, it made my jaw drop. Excellent job!

Mphff not sure what the snowman has to do with the rest, but I agree that these are some of the world's most un-healty things ever - although in my defense, as I wrote on my blog the cigarettes are really made of chocolate and the french fries were fried in varnish and not oil, so..

Ahaha this is actually the scene right before that! (I've watched this movie so many times that I could pretty much re-enact it at any given moment)

Thank you although I wouldn't get my hopes too high - I've seen a couple entries that were simply perfect and it would be crazy if they didn't win

Of course it is one of your favourites... Grease is to movies what chocolate is to food. It's virtually impossible not to love it. (It's a fact.)
Thank you and best luck to you too! I love your entry

Excellent! I bet you'll win! It looks perfect and the paperclips as straws is genious!
Just a question - can I use silicone that is used for diy stuff, or is there a special type of it I have to use?
And does silicone dry in the air, or do you bake it?

thinkpastel In reply to Sugarfloss9 [2012-10-04 18:48:37 +0000 UTC]

Paper clips are amazing for miniatures! They can be used for so many things other than holding paper together

I've used regular diy silicone - I'm not sure if there's a type of silicone specifically made for craft/miniature making out there , I just used what I already had handy and it worked just fine
It air-dries in a few hours, there's no need to bake it

And thank you
