Any Sculptors willing to help me out? (1 Viewer)

[BigDenny]

I'd like to have this figure sculpted and cast in metal. Is anyone here able to help me out or do you know anyone who does this kind of work?{sm2}

Best Regards,
Mike

Well, he is already sculpted. Are you meaning you just need a mold made so you can have metal copies? Or are you meaning this personality in a new pose? I can do either one, you can PM me with what you are looking for exactly.

Well, here is my take on the figure...obviously it is hard to "copy" another person's style, otherwise I'd be making King and Country knock-offs 24/7 :rolleyes2:

Superb work! Thank you.

Okay, here are the angles, and I've given him more of a foggy London complexion than a Miami Beach glow...

Here is the Infantry guy modeled on the Pirates of the Caribbean "East India Company" Uniform...This one was tricky to get in a one piece pour due to that left arm that crosses right over the front of the body and the rifle butt presents some problems, but tilting the mold around while the metal is still hot can help get it all where it needs to go. By the way, always where an oven mitt when doing that, or else you risk 460 degree liquid metal on your hand. I've heard this can be painful...{eek3} Looking at the movie still, I will need to go a darker hue of blue on the uniform, but oh wel...

okay, used Testor's "Sea Blue" this time around and got rid of the "Superman" look...

 

[BigDenny]

Very nicely done! The figure looks perfect. Thank you! {sm4}{sm4}

I totally love this pose..You ought paint him up in regulation scarlet and sell him in your American Revolution line..Michael

Thanks, guys. I did the master figure without arms so I can make many different poses, but I do like this one. His face is one of my favorite aspects for some reason. I've thought about doing generic heads/faces like you see on Beau Geste figures (my personal favs), but I have a lot of fun making a face that's never been made for some reason.

He just has the snooty British look that says, "Curse you rebels/pirates. I represent His Majesty King George III and I'm going to march right over you before I take my afternoon tea." ^&grin{sm4}
