Celt

Here another figure I started a while ago. I wanted to see if I could sculpt the human body and a half naked Celt warrior was a perfect subject for this. First a wire frame was created and then the body was build up using Magic Sculp. The pose I took from an Osprey issue but isn't very original because most available figures have a raised hand. But instead of the usual sword I'm going for a axe in his raised hand and a shield in the other. A spare head was used with some adjustments. The upper body is more or less finished, the trousers still need a lot of work.

Cheers,

Marcel.

Working on the horseman

I continued to work on the knight on the horse. First I sculpted a basic saddle and afterwards I started sculpting the chain mail with a mixture of Duro and Magic Sculp. Impressing the C shape into putty with a needle is time consuming but worth the effort. This is my second try the first one was too bulky. After that I sculpted the knee caps and the protection cloth under the surcoat. Next steps will be completing the saddle and working on the surcoat and belts. Still a lot of work to do.

Cheers,

Marcel.
