Here is my latest sculpt project, my interpretation of a Yamnaya Chieftain from around 3000BC. This is my attempt at a forensic recreation based on an admittedly limited knowledge of the science. When done he will be wearing items based on found grave goods. This is a 1/6th scale sculpt...

Here is my 1/5 scale Hun. He's wearing a leather cloak typical of the indigenous peoples of Europe over an embroidered Roman tunic from the 400s. The subject of elongated skulls being common among the Huns is up for debate. But it makes for a striking bust.

Folks, Here is my Huguenot Captain from the French Wars of Religion almost ready to base coat. Not seen in the pic is a chain that I made from putty that will hang across his doublet.

I'm about to leap into painting again and want to get your thoughts on priming. My two choices are either spray can or out of a bottle. Spray can (Tamiya) seems to be durable and sticks to the surface well, but I'm concerned about it maybe having too much surface texture. The bottle primer is...

Here is my completed sculpt of a handgonner from the late 1400s. This particular type of handgonne was outdated by this time period but does appear in artwork from the 1480s, as do helmets with this particular type of side defense. I never found an existing example of this helmet, so it is my...

Hey Folks, Been trying to get serious about my sculpting again after a lengthy absence due to family health issues. I'm hoping that posting here will keep me motivated. This is a bust of a Germanic tribesman from somewhere between 1AD and the 7th or 8th centuries. I'll determine a more...

Just finished this sculpt for a private collector.

Hey Everybody, Here's a couple of pics of my newest bust. The subject is an English Civil War Pikeman, a subject I've had on my to do list for quite awhile. The bust is available through Mike Stelzel at APG. Hope you like the piece, I'm very happy with how it turned out. Who knows, maybe I'll...

Does anyone know where I can get back issues of Armes Militaria Magazine? I know the french website has them, but the shipping cost is crazy. Thanks, Shane

Hey Everybody, Here's a few pics of my latest effort, a 1/8 scale depiction of a man-at-arms from the Wars of the Roses. This piece could easily represent the typical soldier of the late Hundred Years War period as well. The man wears a sallet and breastplate over the livery jacket. His weary...

Hey everyone, I'm happy to report that during the Atlanta Show I was able to drop off my latest bust with Scott of The Lost Battalion. This 1/8th scale bust will soon be in the capable hands of Jay Hollopeter for the box art. This piece represents a Ranger in a cutdown jacket with removed...

Hey Folks, I havent posted here in quite awhile, so I thought I would include some pics of a piece I did awhile back. This is my landsknecht bust. This is an original sculpt done in 1/9th scale. I have primed it to help with sanding out some minor flaws. Hopefully displaying it in this forum...

Hey Planet Figure people, Here is a shot of my latest bust completed. This represents a Roman Cavalryman in sports armor from the late 2nd century A.D. I worked on this piece with the reference help of Mike Thomas who provided me with a catalog of all the existing sports armor pieces. The bust...

Folks, Here's my latest. Still some work to be done. If it looks like there's no eyes, that's because there's no eyes. I kind of skipped around on the sculpting. Still some teaking to be done here and there. Shane

Hey Everybody, Here is my LA Tene Celt, 400 BC. This is work in progress, so there is still some painting to be done. When done this will be the boxart. The bust is based on a few La Tene artifacts and represents the Celtic version of the Greek linothorax. The color selections are based on...

Does anyone have a recommendation for US PTO/CBI and US tanker uniform details? I'm looking for photos of the real stuff. Need detail shots like the tanker's helmet, etc. Thanks, Shane

This is a period about 2000 years beyond my recent area of experience. Can someone recommend a good reference for sculpting this subject?

There is something I find really interesting about Bronze Age and Iron Age Europe. I guess it’s because I picture it as an idyllic setting very much like a Hudson River School painting–vast expanses of pristine wilderness occasionally dotted with small tribal villages. To a certain degree I...

I've never used anything in my oils before, because I always though simpler was better. But I'm thinking of thinning them with something to help with the blending. This seems to be an issue for me on larger scale figures. Anyone have suggestions? Also, does adding something to the paints...
