Some necessary corrections

I had to made some corrections to this figure so there isn't much progress lately. The legs of the figure ended up a few millimeter too long so it was looking a bit out of proportion compared to the upper body part. So  a few millimeter from the feed were removed and the basic shape for the shoes and lower part of the legs were re sculpted. Now I can finish the folds on the trousers and remodel the shoes. I also made a start with the hand and added the shield, axe and sword to the figure.

Cheers,

Marcel.

Some more progress

Lately I can spend a bit more time on modelling. So I made some good progress with the horse rider.

I finished the upper part of the surcoat and sculpted the mail on the arms and neck. I have made a new  needle for sculpting the mail because I wasn't very satisfied with the other one. Still need to have a look at the mail of the left arm. I also added the pole for the flag to his right hand, the thumb is still missing. The next steps are adding the missing part of the surcoat of the right leg and adding the details. I also started to clean the horse which also will receive a nice cloth around him.

Here the pictures of the current status.

Cheers,

Marcel.

Sculpting the surcoat

 I have made some more progress on the knight. First the belt was cut out from a lead sheet and fixed around the waist. Then electrical wire was used to create a rope which is positioned a bit higher. With magic sculp the folds between the belt and the rope were created. Then a thin sheet of magic sculp was rolled out to create the part of the surcoat below the belt. The next steps are finishing the upper part and the right side of the surcoat and adding the chain mail to the arms.

Cheers,

Marcel.
