Hi Dario, thanks for all the information on the different races. That's very helpfull. I'm writing my step by step on my entry in the horseproject at the moment and will be posting shortly at modelsculpt.ru. Bye, Ming-Hua

Oh, that reminds me. A question on horses. If you were to do a horse for a European medieval knight, which race should be used? Does anybody know that?

Ok, I understand what you mean. Since you will sculpt too I was a little worried about you getting overworked. :) Are you referring to the poses on the first page of this thread? Bye, Ming-Hua

Don't worry, it's still better than my Russian. :) Ok, so this means that you would actually have to do a lot of horses at the same time. Isn't it easier to look at several poses and then do a poll to select the one we will all do? What I'll do over 1listsculpting in that case is that I'm...

I'm also asking since I need to know the best way to get sculptors from 1listculpting involved. Anyway, I'm looking forward to join in. Bye, Ming-Hua

Hi Sergey, just to make sure I understand what you mean with the project. - Do we choose one single pose that everybody makes? - We make the horses and show the progress on the forum? What images are we to send you? Of a horse with a pose that we want to make? Oh, I'll probably work in...

Just a quick note. I just learned of this company. They make kind of China based fantasy figures. Execution is not great but the idea is nice. So, it's clear there is a growing intrest at least in the miniatures world.

With 28mm miniatures it depends a bit. Green stuff is easy to cut, so some of the more complex figures are first made in one pice, then the cuts are made up to the wire of the armature and then either a jeweller saw is used or the wire is twisted to snap it. Larger models like dragons are...

Just has a look at your site. Nice design work. Will you be hosting the project in the forum? Or on the main pages? By the way, the chariot you made looks great. I was in Egypt a few months ago and saw the Tutankamun ones in the Egyptian museum. Bye, Ming-Hua

I think you're right about it being true for all ethnic groups. One thing I noticed when I started sculpting is that my faces tended to end up a bit more Asian than European. More flat. Different eyes. It took me a while to get that correct.

By the way, another thing I've noticed with miniatures is that there are quite a number of sculptors who have problems sculpting non-western faces. Many "Chinese" miniatures don't look so at all.

Another thing that can help is too keep figures in the same scale around as reference. These and the scale diagrams should be used to check measurements (can be done using a compass) while you're sculpting. And the Loomis book is great! The one on heads and hands is also quite usefull. By the...

Ok, still waiting patiently. I already suggested joining in the communal horsemaking project over at another forum and there are at least some people interested. :)

Realistic? No. Still, details on clothing, uniforms, etc. can be correct in some movies. I ran into this article when checking for the year the movie Hero was placed in. I'll have to watch the movie again to see which type you are referring too, but if it's siege crossbows, they were already...

Hi Bing, it's as the others say. It's what the market asks for. I'm in a sort of similar situation in my field which is small scale fantasy/science fiction figures. Chinese history is not that well known in the West and there is little in popular fiction on this (few know romance of the three...

Hi, what scale do you want to sculpt in? As to tools and stuff, well, you need some putty and stuff to push it around with. Wax carvers for instance. Wire for the armatures and something to bend and cut the wires with. A measuring tool can be usefull too. Reference books. Well, I just...

Hmm, looking more and more interesting. :) Will you also deal with different races and ages of horses? Bye, Ming-Hua

Oh, just a quick question, any chance of adding scale tables for 28mm to the book too? :) Bye, Ming-Hua

Kevin: Good to see you here and welcome to the list. I loved your L&L flamingoes by the way. :) I've actually been using pro-create for almost a year now as I'm one of the sculptors who tested it. I put a report on procreate over here...

Oh, excellent! I just read about your book on the French creafig forum and I'm all excited. Right now I'm working on a centaur foal and for that I'm digging through my books on horse anatomy etc. Your book will be most welcome. I hope I will be able to join you in the communial project (depends...
