Forlorn Hope figures (1 Viewer)

I was rummaging thru the GA pile and came across this trio. A home cast of a converted Britains fig and two 1-35 French figs done toy soldier style. Prob could be upgraded one of these days…

Hi John,

Thx. This piece is an outlier. I usually work in 1/32. Finishing it was more a test of my dogged persistent nature.. ggrrr...hahaha.

Hi All,

Spent a fruitful morning digging into my hoard. Here are some possibilities which may be developed further.

Italeri 1/9 german soldier converting into something else. I'm still searching for a subject that is not WWII germans....hahhaha.

A verlinden static nude to be made into what?

An Artmi 1/32 French Grenadier to be made into something else Any ideas suggestions are welcome...

How about converting the verlinden static nude into one of the Riace (Reggio) Bronzes:

Hello Louis

Thanks for yr suggestion. That is a rabbit hole direction. Lots of differences in expectations between high art and verlinden. Hahahaha.

I’m still thinking and looking but will try to figure out how to move away from the static verlinden to something else.
