Albrecht Durer, 1500 - Centauro-Line Miniature review

[Guy]

Item 0005
Centauro- Line Miniatures
Albrecht Durer, 1500
Hero's of Art Series
1/10th scale white metal
6 parts
Sculpted by Ulrich Puchala

This is a first in a series called "Hero's Of Art" featuring Albrecht Durer, a famous artist from 1500. It was sculpted by the talented Ulrich Puchala from the painting by Durer in 1500 and was a self portrait.

The kit is cast in 6 white metal parts with the head being 2 parts, front with face and back with the hair.

Above you see different views of the two part head with the seam in the hair requiring very little if any filling.

Above you see the side views of the head showing where the seam line will be. Looking at the two halves I feel a normal clean-up of each contact surface will give a tight fit eliminating any need for filler.

Above you see the head dry-fitted into the socket in the shoulders. The bottom two photographs show the location hole for the head on the top as well as a view of the front of the bust.

Above you see two views of the hand. Ulrich emailed me telling me he was going to do another hand as he was not satisfied with the little finger.

Above is the 2 part plinth and a second photograph showing it dry-fitted together.

A complete color guide comes with the kit along with photographs of the original self portrait by Durer.

Above are two additional photographs of the Master before casting.

Above is the self portrait painted by Albrecht Durer in 1500.

Conclusion:
An excellent bust depicting one of the world master artist. Dry-fitting was good and seam lines were minimal. Highly recommended. I hope we see Ulrich add to this new line of "Hero's Of Art"
