WIP Critique Le Boudin

This is looking very good Simon. The sculpting of the clothing so far is very convincing, this will be another belter from you.

Cheers Nigel, I'm getting more confident in creating creases and the drapery of cloth so hopefully they will paint up well.

Just as a matter of interest, if you are considering modelling more Legion subjects. On the Spanish Canova site there are a series of Legion figures by Mario Bueno from inception to almost present day, they are a little naive in places but eminently useable.

I'll have a look but my preferred method is using a plain dolly figure, I used to do it in 1/35th but Historex 1/30th is much easier. I enjoy both the build and the painting so I'm not going to take half the fun away! Still many thanks for letting me know.

Hi Simon,
I believe we have our wires crossed, what I was referring to was a series of illustrations about a 100 in total with several figures per page. This series covers the Legion from inception to the 1970's I think.

Well that would explain why I couldn't find them! Should be easier to find or do you have a link.

Hi Simon,
Apologies for the delay but I had to re-acquaint myself with the site the I/d is miniaturasmilitaresporalfonscanova. This is mostly in Spanish but I do believe you can convert it to English it is a fine source of illustrations of all periods including many from the masters. I hope you find it of some use.

Cheers Malkie

Cheers Malkie, I kept getting lovely pieces of art by The Canova, all a bit large in scale for me! At the North Surrey Show today with lots of PFers loitering around!

Cheers Simon
