Victor,

Great looking figure!

Hi Victor,

these are looking nice. You converted those horses very well. Wonder how the final sculpts will look like. I will gladly follow this thread and your results as I plan to start sculpting a horse soon. Never had any success doing that in the past - it´s difficult.

Hi Louis and Wolfgang

Thx for yr kind comments. I sprayed an undercoat as it is easier to spot the errors for further work and correction on the horses before I add on the harness details.

I tested the poses of three layers of horse teams. Decided that I prefer the higher positioning of the lead team as it emphasized the visual perspectives better.

 

[Louis Badolato]

Victor,

I can see the perspective you are looking to achieve, and I think you are spot on!

Hi Louis

The size and depth of this box seems to be right for this scene I am consciously trying to use a smaller box for this scene as space is now becoming a premium in this household … hahaha

Victor,

I think space always was a premium for you

Hi John,

Yep, Spore is short of lebensraum. hahaha.

I worked more on these three pieces yesterday. I corrected the anatomy of the fig on the rearing horse. Neck collars are next. Still WIP.

Found two artillery wheels. Also bought some chains.

Couldnt wait to slap some paint on the lead horses.

 

[blaster]

I shortened the rear hind left leg of this horse. Then added horse tails to all of the horses. My method is to drill and pin the tails to the bodies for strength.

 

[blaster]

I decided to elongate the upper torso of the lead driver to heighten the sense of tension.

 

[blaster]

So I created a hill out of wire netting. Then plastered over it. Then added some long grass base work all over.

 

[blaster]

Since I was sculpting non-descript figs, I carried on with developing this ghoul in scale with the wheels. The intent is to size down the figs from left to right.

 

[blaster]

I reanimated the previous 2nd ghoul (not obvious in this pix) and continue to sculpt troops for Sauron....sigh.

 

[blaster]

Finalising the details for the main mtd fig.

 

[blaster]

Suddenly I am now reworking the horse collars. Must be the boost from the thinner when I dip my drill into it for lubrication...hahaha.

 

[blaster]

Ive placed the reanimated ghoul back on his horse. This is the hidden side as it is hard to pose this piece flat on the table. But it shows you the chaotic way in which I work.

 

[blaster]

Can't leave you eagle-eyed peregrines with the previous picture. I worked more on it and I sprayed a grey primer undercoat to visualise the end results with better clarity from the good sides.

The 2nd pix is as per the ptg. Note that even the right hand is made smaller than the left hand to create some visual perspectives.

Hi Victor,

this looks really good, a coat of primer does bring it all together. Wonder how you will proceed. Great job on the sculpting.

Hi Wolfgang,

I sanded down this fig and continued to refine it.

For the other ghoul, I snipped off the lower jaw, trimmed down the cheeks and I have a smaller head.
