New Age of Arthur and more

I have just about done a few archers for both the British and the Picts, as you can see, the figures are 28mm tall and more in proportion than my previous figures.
The four archers in a row, just gone for a bit of variety in the poses so that I can alter the masters after the first castings with cloaks, hoods or helmets. Also along with these four will be some Pict Noble warriors with spear and shield, cavalry will follow along with more command types and maybe a few characters.

Now for something completely different, a few weapons to a scale of approximately 1/60 for a new range of figures for the Vietnam War I am going to be working on. the dollies are made and measure 28mm to eye level so as t omatch up with other available ranges. The weapons are made with a mix of ProCreate and Magic Sculp, both of which I like using and have been known to mix them together to get sharper lines.More news as and when things progress.

Zulus part 3

The final pieces with separate heads, weapons and shields put together. The figures measure 35mm tall

Commission-35mm Zulus part 2

Commission-35mm Zulus part 1

A few shots of the first couple of stages. These figures are a commission and will be approximately 35mm tall when completed with separate heads and weapons.

The figures are a bit roughat the mopment and need tidying up but they show the first few stages of building up from a wire armature.


After posing the wire I started to build from the bottom up trying to get the legs and feet into proportion then worked up the body to the arms and hands. The heads are to be separate so will be modelled separately to give maximum variety.
I find that getting the legs looking right seems to lead onto the rest of the figure with the arms probably being the most difficult to get into proportion.
