...more sculpting progress - Native American bust

Here are some more pics of the current sculpting projects. I've reworked the corners of the mouth to angle down a bit more and am also working on symmetry issues and final smoothing. The clean-up and refinement seems to take forever. I must learn to work more cleanly! I've spent more time on this face than I ever have and am pleased with it so far. I want to continue this same dedication to getting everything the best I can to all areas of the bust. In the past, I think I get a little too anxious to finish or I think I can add that detail with paint later and my work gets a little sloppy as a result. This time, there are no deadlines or other obligations with the piece so I can just let it happen. Thanks for looking and comments are always greatly appreciated.

Workbench Updates - Summer 2007

It's been some time since I last updated my Blog, so here is some news. I was happy to have sold my last sculpt of the 506th, E Company, Captain -1944 and it should be released in late summer in time for the Euro Militaire show. Check back here or on Timelines Forum for more updates on this release. I'll be painting the box art for it as well which I'm looking forward to doing.

I have a new sculpt underway. This time it's another Native American subject. This will be a very dramatic piece that will include a stuffed crow for a hair ornament as well as a nice buffalo robe. The scale is 250mm.

I've also included some pictures of a nearly completed 54mm ACW stock figure and a 90mm medieval standard bearer. Both piece are being painted for collectors.

Thanks for looking in and I'll try to keep more updates coming.

The Pics

Here are some pics of my latest sculpt. It depicts a Captain 506th PIR Easy Company-1944.

Confederate Infantryman, Gettysburg Completed

Here are some follow up pics of my completed Confederate Infantryman figure. This figure is to be donated to the Artist Preservation Group's next auction. Thanks for looking and comments appreciated. I tried some new angles and lighting effects. Some work, some....not so much.

Confederate Infantryman, Gettysburg

Here are some images of my latest painting project. I've never painted an American Civil War figure before, so this one has been a challenge, but fun. As usual, painted with a combination of Vallejo and Andrea acrylics.

Once completed, this figure will be donated to The Artist Preservation Group to be auctioned as a fund raiser for their current Fairchild Artifact Preservation project . See my link section for a direct link to visit The Artist Preservation Group website to learn more about this great organization of figure modellers helping to preserve our history through our art. Look for more information on their website about the Fairchild Project internet auction held in early 2007.
