Way cool Steve...looks great!
I use A+B Epoxy too...and i've been told it is the worst stuff out there, but I find it comfortable and it's properties just what I want after so many years of using it.
You're the only other sculptor I can recall who uses it.
I like the "unarmored" approach to this figure....looking at it with interest.

Many thanks

its an old image i had kicking about

i have always used A&B i have tried other stuff but i find it easy to use and you can mix it down with water to make a slip for adding on once its cured

What period is this intended to be from Chris? It kinda looks like a mix of Celt and Scots.

I use A+B Epoxy too... You're the only other sculptor I can recall who uses it.

Bill Horan uses it for some tasks.

The UK 'equivalent' has some users too, although I don't think it's really like A+B.

Hi Einion

Pinsel was correct the axe was wrong for a Celt so its going to be a saxon
with a round shield on his back.

I didnt want to do a figure in amour i wanted it to be more of a peasent warrior.
