Napoleon

Here are some in progress shots of my painting of Napoleon. This bust will be released soon from Michael Miniatures and I'm painting this casting for the boxart pictures. More updates to follow. I will have this piece completed and on display at the Atlanta Show Feb 20-22. Thanks!

Hancock the Superb

Well, I think he's finally finished!!! Just some final clean up to do and he's off for casting.

Keep an eye out here and on the APG website for availability. Thanks for stopping by...

Hancock Update 1/22

Here is an update on the Hancock bust for the APG. The detailing of the buttons and goatee/hair continues...Nearing completion.....

Finished....

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm really tired of looking at Jennifer Garner! It's been a while on this one, but I decided to perservere and do everything I could to get the likeness down. Did I? I'm not sure about that, but it's the best I can do on her right now. Learning to sculpt a female face is hard, but then trying to make it look like someone specific...that's thr real challenge. I'm taking what I learned on this one and applying it to my next project. I must remember not to "rush to the surface" on these portraits. This one will be appearing as a resin kit for release soon. More info later...........

Hancock 1/8

More detail going on in this sculpt. Included is a nice pic of Hancock wearing his hat that I'm trying to recreate. He was also said to have worn his undress frock coat at Gettysburg with the collar open and top buttons done while open at the bottom. Another interesting note: Hancock's tendency for the profane idiom on the battlefield. Quite the colorful character...

APG Bust Update - 1/5/09

Here is an update on the bust. Clothing begins next. The rather large beard worn by Hancock will be added as a seperate piece later to simplify casting of the bust. Stay tuned.....
