Completed 75mm Trompette – 13e Chasseurs a Cheval Eylau 1807

[Jaybo]

Beautiful sculpt Ricardo. I am currently working on 3
different Historex conversions with CHRONOS horses. The legs need to be scratch built. After you have achieved the musculature of the legs how do lay on the trouser material? Can you recommend any sculpting SBS videos? Thank you.

Absolutely superb and I am so glad I ordered this one. Also, this will hopefully be the first in a series of mounted Naploleonic 75's.

Great work and congratulations on a miniature masterpiece.

Sorry to answer so late, I missed your message. Actually I cannot suggest a video, I can briefly explain my approach: I work on a detailed anatomy that shows volumes and bones visible on the surface that are critical to handle the drapery and wrinkles. Then I apply magic sculpt with hands, pushing down to obtain the desired thickness and then I clean the surface. I draft wrinkles while putty is still fresh taking care of the lighting effect and then I refine them with blades, files and sanding paper.

Thanks all for the attention paid to this post. I'm completing the story with some photos of the resin copy.

Fantastic news ...my wallet is open and ready to dispense the notes!

Superb work and congratulations once again Riccardo on refreshingly different and very eye-catching Napoleonic subject.
