Neary finished ( famous last words )
I set myself a goal, to input daily progress pics and it really has pushed me along.
One side is nearly complete, the rear of the model still needs quite a bit of sculpting to finish and I'm also attempting to sculpt a dog , as in the origin artwork.
Many thanks for looking, all comments welcome.

Good stuff ken, I like it. Some pretty nifty brushwork will be called for to get in to some of those areas.Roger.

Well, Ken,
I would happily give away various body parts to have such apparent ease with sculpting as you have....not my own, of course, but I can think of a few people who could be persuaded...
Ok, dry humour off for a moment
How long have you been at sculpting - that level of finish implies that you have been sculpting for a long time.
As for painting, if you don't mind, what do you think limits your painting, and what mediums have you used?
By dragging the challenge into light of day, your fellow planeteers may help you wrestle it into submission.
When I try some sculpting of a non cartoon character, I hope you can offer some insight!!
Cheers

Man how I wish this was going to be a commercial piece, your sculpting is superb.
Many thanks Jamie,
In answer to your questions- I've been sculpting on and off for the last 4-5 years and class myself as a novice ( I've only just started using a damp brush to smooth and blend ).
It was on a visit to Euro in 06 that I saw what the late Roy Hunt was achieving with Magic-sculpt and after buying some and trying it I was hooked.
After reading Bill Horans Masterclass book, I tried enamels, a bit hit and miss, especially the faces. I thought I would improve using acrylics like the masters but it's like a computer nerd explaining programming, I just seem to glaze over.
One particular web site I use is www.thesculptorscorner.com it's invaluable to improve your sculpting. Hope it helps
Anyway Jamie I'll get off the couch now so don't forget to send me your bill

Leo and Matthew, many thanks for your comments.
Leo - The womens hat was simply done using a cocktail stick and a needle, I used 75% Magic sculpt and 25% Duro, it's best to wait about 30 mins before stabbing. Hope I've explained it enough and you've found it of use.
Mathew - I also wish it was going commercial, just so that I could see what a master painter would do with it.

Ken, many thanks for the link; have book marked it....
Well, the only paint medium you haven't put hand to yet is oils.
But seeing as I am still a rank novice, I cant really say too much with out seeing what flavoured shoes I'm wearing
I can offer this bit of experience; lay your hands on some figures, and just try something with paint and brush; and have a can of oven cleaner to strip paint from it, and try again...I think I have stripped more then I have painted to date......sigh.....
Still, I like the sculpt, the lady anatomy seems on, the soldier is posed right for some one carrying a load; I have seen some figures sculpted where there is a heavy back pack worn, and the centre of gravity is outside the zone of support from the feet. (hope that made sense)
Cheers
