Irish Zouave

[slaj]

Hi Guys.Wanted to show you the nearly complete ( sculpting stage ) Zouave. I still need to add the buttons on the vest and give the whole piece a good polishing. I also need to add all the equipment alongside. Hope you like it.

Hi Steve

This one looks excellent. The pose is particularly effective (I like the leg overhanging the base - nice touch). Is this to be a Boston entry?

Good stuff

Regards

Looking good Stephen........I also like the pose with the foot overhanging the base.

Stephen, I really like the newest zouave! Excellent pose. What material do you use to sculpt with? I am about to take a shot at doing a one of a kind figure and have the body built up with paperclips and Historex shoes, Nemrod head and legs, middle torso, chest roughed in using A&B. I am following Bill Horan's method and am curious as to what works for the clothing, accoutrements as I have had no luck with Duro. Appreciate any direction, comments, suggestions. Wish I could see the zouave in person this coming July. But with a 9 month old son who is crawling, I think Boston is out this time around.

Best of Everything, Terry Martin

Terry , thanks for your comments. I mainly use magic sculpt for the clothing and all other sculpting. For details i use a mix of Duro /MS. I hope this is of help. If you need or have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask, even privately

Phil, do you have transport ready at the airport.If not tell me and I'll be waiting.

Thanks guys for the feedback. Anders , it's true that I'm really getting into these Zouaves. Since my main period of interest is the napoleonic it may be that I associate these exotic uniforms with those of that period.

I shell see the finished work when the picture's of the show comes to the planet.
For now it is a great sculpting.
