Superb! I wish more bust sculptors would do this. Is the hat cast separate from the head, or are they together?

Nelly ou Samy: Any chance you could provide those photos in higher resolution? We ain't all 20 years young . . .

Adrian: Once you add her eyebrows, they will help the eyes to "pop."The eyebrows are really important in this photo, as they help communicate her youth . . . and more important, her emotion. I would also sculpt the hair so that it stands out further from the facial plane, and drop the hair...

Not at all, Vittorio. In English, a "sow" is a female pig, so you inadvertently made a humorous play on words that relates to the figure (which is called a "pun"). I should have realized it wouldn't translate well. A very creative figure, by the way.

" . . . he sows terror . . ."? Stop it . . . you guys are punning me to death.

Nice sculpt, but his chinscales are inverted.

I thought it looked good in the raw, but this is inspiring.

That's good to hear . . . I'm truly glad he's still kicking. I left the hobby for many years and am not familiar with his BN, GLA range (sorry, I'm acronym-ignorant), his busts, or "his last few pieces," so I look forward to seeing what he did after I bailed. If anyone ever gets around to...

Er . . . you say "had" as in past tense. Forgive my ignorance, but your reference to David tells me that he's either not sculpting any more . . . or that something more "final" has happened in the many years since I was last in involved in this hobby. I have painted, and continue to paint, many...

I'm pretty sure I played Rugby against this guy back in the mid-'70s. I think he was a prop for the School of Mines.

Och, Chippy . . . realize that he is dancing, and that involves a lot of up and down movement in a relatively short space of forward progress . . . so you would naturally see a lot of bits that fly upward inexplicably. It looks quite right to me. I can't argue Derek's comments on the left...

The lancer's great, but c'mon, Moz, cough up a photo of the 200mm Life Guard. I'll send you a pile of Christmas socks and cologne in exchange.

I have a 120mm Verlinden mounted Cuirassier and it's both a quality sculpt and casting. I think the pose would suit your concept well as the horse is rearing and the Cuirassier is thrusting with his sword.

Jaysus! Where am I going to find the money for this lot?

Plagiarist! :lol:

This just gets better and better.

Thanks, Moz. I'm really looking forward to it.

Did anyone snap a pic of Moz' forthcoming 200mm Life Guards figure at the show a month or so ago? Its release has been delayed. I haven't seen it, but based on my experience with his Coldstream Guardsman, I want it.

Your treatment of hair -- human and animal -- is quite amazing, not to mention the character in the expression. I haven't done a bust yet . . . but maybe this one will be my first.

I'm very pleased to see the "full figure" option. I thought the bust was just begging for a pair of legs. Smart marketing. Another recruit for the grey army!
