Some of you may remember this post from April about my first sculpted figure... The Bridge Guard?
Well, today a package arrived from my friend Chris Borer (famed Slayer Sword winner and the guy behind Full Borer Miniatures). After he did such a great job on my casting last year, I managed to cajole Chris into casting up my dude for this year's Armies On Parade project : )
*squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
Once again Chris managed to replicate all the flaws in my sculpting perfectly ; ) The brownstuff seen on the figure below is primarily to correct problems with my sculpting for the hands, a pretty crappy job really, but it's all about learning, right?
Anyway, I now have 20 of these to assemble and get primed.
Time is ticking!
Cheers

Wow, nice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks styx!
DeleteThat is something probably most of us will never experience, sculpting your own figure, getting it cast and then finally to finish it off with the painting. Superb.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pat.
I hadn't really thought about it that way Pat, but I'm sure more people should try ; )

After taking Joe Orteza's class this past Adepticon on advanced figure sculpting, and seeing this figure of yours at Adepticon, it's really encouraging to see this, Dave. It looks amazing, and only gives me more motivation to finish my own first fully sculpted figure!
ReplyDeleteI really can't wait to see all 20 at Games Day this year!
Fingers crossed they'll make it down there ; )
DeleteCongratulations.

Fantastic, and it seems that they have stayed very well. A greeting Dave.
ReplyDeleteYes, Chris does a good job, now I just need to improve my work to match his : )
DeleteYay -really looking forward to seeing them painted. Lots of detail in there which is difficult to see atm.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed I can get some paint on them this weekend.
DeleteDon't let Dave fool you - that brown putty cleanup was for *my* sub-optimal casting.
ReplyDeleteAs for sculpting your own mini - I'd encourage anyone who has that goal to try it. There are tons of resources out there and remember, every single sculptor started with zero experience once upon a time.
Too late Chris, I already have them fooled ; )
