As a start for the new year , I finally finished two "one off "pieces i started las year, two Austrian Hussars of the 3rd Rgt.; a small scene of rest during the campaign. All the pieces are concept and sculpted by me, and the painting too. The Captain has a Lipizzan horse, and the private an Halflinger, two austrian breed; I've added to the scene two magnificent pieces from Andreas Hofmann which I'm finally attending to.
Testing heavy cavalry horses, i decided to make an other one-off to test some draping and metal paint. here the WIP.
Back again on business, i'm still not settled in but i enjoyed on some One Off pieces just for warming up again.....
Here a French Guard Foot Artillery officer , and an Austrian hussar welcomed by his dog.
The advantage of making unique pieces is that i have not to think about mold undercut and i can detail everything as i want.
It is almost 1 year since I started sculpting, and I learned a lot, may be i will post some of my experiences in this technique if somebody is interested on.
