WIP german light cavalry, fisrt half XVI cent.

[vincenzo]

Hi my friends!
contrary to what I had expected, the third figure of the trio will be another knight!
half armour and black sallet, insirated to Albrecht Durer's works.
So.... here what I've sculpted.
This time I try to use epoxy putty for the first time... and.. I love it!!!

Great model: Durer is a fantastic source for so many renaissance figures (not just military as these Chronos figs attest: https://www.planetfigure.com/thread...m-54167-54167-m-chm-75024.123063/#post-959525).

What brand/type of epoxy putty did you use?

[Oda]

What????? A new figure????You are unstoppable my friend.You make it sound so easy!!!! Is the new figure going to be part of the same scenario in the 1st half of the 16th century? And one more question:Why aren't the companies all over you??

Vincenzo all I can say is that you have certainly got our attention with your sculpting skills and this group off figures, surely someone out there will release these wonderful creations, have you any idea of when we will see these painted in their glorious colours?

Thank you my friends!
Oda, yes, it will be the third (but not the last) of the company. At this moment I'm wating answers by some figure brands... but I'm not so optimistic.. you know this historical period it's not so "cool" ...
So... in the worst case I will paint they by myself..

little spoiler... 2 other figures on my desk.... wait for some news

I know what you mean but in my opinion this historical period is one of the "coolest".Probably we are a minority.If it were me I would paint this group to represent an episode of the Peasants' War in Germany.I still keep my hopes up that companies will not let such a great creation slip from their hands.
