WIP Crimean Duo pt2

[valiant]

Hi guys,
Some pics of my latest efforts in the Crimean series that I am working on. Scale 120mm, the first bust is of a Turkish Infantry Officer, 1854 and the second, a Trooper, 5th Dragoon Guards, Balaclava, 1854.
I produced the Turk whilst finding suitable research for the Dragoon helmet, which has caused a few headaches! lots of compound curves!!
Some final tidying up still to do on the Turk and a lot of work yet to do on the Dragoon.
Hope you like them, so far!
Steve

Thanks for the nice comments guys- Yes, Steve, great to meet you, enjoyed putting the world to rights! The Turk is virtually complete, will post pics soon - Dragoon bubbling along, several others on the bench in various stages at the moment!

Nice job, i know what you mean as far as the dragoon helmet goes, i just made one, its tricky to get everything in proportion and symetrical. I found out that the helmets were hand finished for head size so there would be slight differences between each helmet, not too noticeably but enough to alter the shape slightly. these pics show a big guy and a smaller thinner guy, its obvious from the pics that the helmets do differ slightly, they are two different regiments though.


Great work, be nice to see them finished, if you need any pics of dragoon helmets i got loads, drop me a line and i will email them to you.
all the best
