Oustanding piece of work !!

A little late, but anyway..
Love these figures and the Idea is great. I'm as usual impressed how you manage to come up with all great ideas and then so easy fullfill them. Beautiful work all over, from poses to details like the hat on the ground. Now just pick up the paintbrushes and do your magic.

Best regards /lars

That's absolutely brilliant stuff, what are you using as the clay or putty? Can't wait to see the finished product.

Hi guys and thank you very much. It is great to get your feedback!

Sorry for my late reply, Chris. I am using Magic Sculp. I have been using it for quite some years now and got really fond of it


btw, here is a picture of the crossbow. I forgot to post it earlier.

Funny how you can carry on watching a forum, blithely unaware that something brilliant is taking shape , this is absolutely magnificent .
What is the story with the female character because the pose looks young girl but the face looks old hag? Is "she" supposed to be a man disguised for ambush?
Best wishes, Gary.

Thanks guys!


Interesting reflection Gary. I guess it is up to the eye of the beholder to decide if it is a man or a woman. It was however not my aim to make a transvestite
My intention was to create a gaunt old woman, and to be honest, I am just happy I managed to complete the figure at all! As I mentioned earlier, this is my first attempt at sculpting figures and I was far from curtain that I would finish any of them in a decent manner.

cheers

Actually I wondered the same as Gary at first glance. Is it a man disgused as a woman?

Hi everybody,

Once again, thank you for all your feedback guys, it is much appreciated.

I just finished painting the first peasant and like to share it with you. Since all the peasants are supposed to be very poor looking, my aim was to keep the overall colours dull and non garish. However, since this particular figure is one of the main characters, I tried to make it stick out the best I could by crating some contrast between the black hat and the white shirt. Hopefully it will help draw some extra attention to the figure.

I have extensively used Vallejo colours.

cheers,
/Johan

Ecxellent work! That's a war face that even might scare Sgt Gunny. Nice colors and beautiful weathered. Well done and keep 'em coming.

You got a purty mouth.
Brilliant.

Great colors chosen, and the scene is clearly before the introduction of braceys.

Wish this were going commercial...great work.

 

[Johan Fohlin]

Hey everybody,

Thanks for the positive feedback so far guys!

I hope some of you are enjoying the Euro Militaire show at Folkestone right now
Unfortunately I am not as lucky to join this year. But at least I managed to finish one more figure to my little scene this weekend. It is the old woman, all finished with Vallejo Colors.

all the best,
/Johan

Perfect! Outstanding painting and sculpting.

Excellent work, Johan, they really look rough peasants ! Like your sculpting on these very much;- they could do with a visit to the dentist!
