Box Art-Chasseur a Cheval by Marion Ball

Hi Graham. Thank you for your comment. Indeed, I found your figure full of personality. I am at the moment in the process of removing the bits left by the casting, and that's a tricky business! Then I will take a look at my books, to see if there are other alternatives to this set of colours, which is already nice anyway. When I think about it, I suppose you made the master in epoxy resin , like milliput or similar stuff? But how do you realise the very fine ornementations with curls , which are seen against the bastion shapeed laces on the upper legs, for example? Some kind of wire? Thanks.

Hi Graham and thank you for your comment. I am now in the process of removing the hard bits left by the casting, a tricky business! I will then have a go at my documentation to see the possible alternatives to the set of colours shown here, even if it is already a nice one. I 'll try to post some pictures when the figure is done.
Best wishes.

Hi Henri,
The master was sculpted by the talented Maurice Corry, Moz.
The master is all sculpted in epoxy including all the braiding which is also rolled or flattened epoxy. It amazes me also how he gets such fine detail.
Very best wishes
Graham
