I've decided this is done. I have a few little cleanups and tweaks but not sure which ones to do if any. I thought of fraying the ends of the neckerchief and adding some much smaller strands of hair coming off the sections on the side of his head. I also thought to texture the hat a bit, but I'm...

Quick update on the pirate bust. All the clothing parts are in place and I just have to go in and finish up the folds on the overcoat. I was not too pleased with the ties for the headscarf and did them over. I also weaked the neckerchief ties a bit. The hat will probably be the last part to...

I must be doing something wrong as it takes me considerably longer than that. Kudos to your skill.

What a huge loss to the historical community. Rene was the leading authority on troops in New France among other periods. He leaves behind quite a catalog of books, articles, and even TV appearances. Rene wrote the text for the only uniform plate I ever illustrated for the Company of Military...

Beautiful work.

On average how long does it take you to make a rifle/ machine gun?

Something easily altered in digital, especially if you keep pieces seperate and not merge them with others right away. I'll get around to tweaking them as soon as I get his overcoat sorted out as I've yet to get it just the way I want it.

Refined the hair a bit more and added the ties for the neckerchief and headscarf. I have to add some buttonholes to the waistcoat and coat, along with tweaking the position of the buttons. Still sorting out ways to approach the collar for the heavy overcoat.

There are a lot of free "base mesh" files for free out there and others that won't cost you much. Check out the "store" site for Artstation as they have a number of meshes available. www.artstation.com

Fantastic sculpt.

I appreciate the comments guys. More in progress pics will be coming soon.

Quang, there different "materials" and brushes available for Zbrush if you wanted your piece to have that lose traditionally sculpted look. Great hearing from you.

Interestingly enough Benedict Arnold more than likely wore the scarlet faced buff coat of the 2nd Company of Connecticut Guards as the Continental Army had yet to adopt uniforms for officers.

Several years ago, I sculpted this pirate bust based on a pen and ink sketch by illustrator Howard Pyle. The first few photos show the sketch along with a sculpey "sketch" and then the actual bust in putty as looked when it was later produced by Michael Roberts Ltd. I really enjoyed sculpting...

Fantastic sculpture. It'll be a beauty with paint on it.

Great sculpt and likeness.

Beautiful figures, so well done.

I've never used Blender (though I have it) so I'm no help there. Another suggestion would be to find a nude figure base mesh and use the torso, pelvis, and possibly the feet. You could scale them accordingly and print up a number of copies.

Thanks for catching the typo. As for kit prices maybe the vendor of the larger kit chose their selling price as it is a much older kit which more than likely peaked at the numbers that could be sold when it was produced by a former vendor/owner. If instead 0f $40.95 they raised the price...

I think it usual to comment on the price of a kit made 10+ years ago verses a smaller scale kit made today. Unfortunately, unless it's a flea market environment good luck paying 2000 or 1990s prices for a figure. Look at any number of online vendors and you may get a healthy dose of sticker...
