My old stuff

[antonio argudo]

Hi, just wanted to share some past stuff, I've restarted sculpting around a year ago since university days, study bust in children clay in a big scale like 1/4 more or less, I've been always a plastic aircraft modeller but Im having a lot of fun sculpting latelly and enjoying this forum with very nice mates here, so here are some pics also a few of my aircraft, hope you enjoy them, cheers!

Mike Good's excelent pilot figure!

Being aircraft modeller myself (check out this Bf: http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/dprenosil/BF 109G-14/)
, I must say that this Bf-109 is excelent, and very correct also. I do not see common mistakes (black propeler blades, missing line joint from cockpit to tail, black tires instead of dirty or gray), colors are correct to RLM standard,and the weathering is excelent. So my conclusion is that You are great aircraft modeller too

Busts are fantastic. Do you have some classic sculpting education or am I looking at pure talent ?

But the real question is: where is the Romell, is he finished yet ???

Gimme Jimmy!

That Hendrix bust looks great the way it is now!

The sculpts are superb, as for the aircraft. I'm no expert but that looks superb too.

Hi Darko, Im glad to know you also are aircraft modeller, I think i saw your 109 on Hyperscale, right? your work is brilliant mate, wwII aviation is a true love, hoping to see more air stuff of yours!
and about my sculpting background, I did study fine arts and I attended some sculpture subjets at uni but I was more focused on drawing and painting then, now I feel sculpting with more enthusiasm, but I need to get used to small scales and get more experience so I will be able to finish my current proyects... yes Rommel indeed, I did some progress that will be shown soon!

Rene, Jimi is on the backstage waitting for his turn to rock!

Thanks Taesung, always wanted to tribute my guitar hero, Im thinking about having a bronze copy of it or buying a white Strato lol! are you still rocking your Gibson SG?

Thanks Carl, Im glad you did like it also the aircraft!

Antonio, great sculpting and an excellent likeness in all the busts, the only one I'm stuck on is the guy after Van gogh and I'm sure it's more down to my ignorance and not your talent as a sculptor.

Cheers Ken

Thanks Ken for your kind words mate, I apreciate!
That guy after van gogh is also van gogh but a younger version with a diferent hair and saved beard, last year I was fascinated with the discover of a supposted (I do belive) Van gogh's mature only picture, and by using pictures of Teo van gogh (wich was very similar to Vincent, according to time comments) I did some (like forensic CSI homemade lol) sculpts for fun to figure how he would looked younger, this was my result lol!

the supposed picture of Van gogh

with his famous selfportrait

his brother Teo

and the good is the mix

 

[antonio argudo]

Thanks Markus and Gordy for your kind comments, Im glad you did like it, seems like Jimi must be done in scale soon!

 

[captfue]

Really enjoy your work.

 

[mil-mart]

Antonio, thanks for answering my question, and glad now I asked, I wasn't aware of the recently discovered picture of Van Gogh. A great idea to play detectives, it opens up endless possibilities

Cheers Ken

 

[URIBULL]

Really a good work!

I like your bust, very good job !

 

[bonehead]

Kewl!! Great stuff. I am digging the Van Gogh. I think the second one looks more like Theo. The photo matches his own paintings to a high degree. So, I think the first sculpt is a better depiction of the man himself, who I recognized without being told.....

I thought the second one was Aldous Huxley....

[antonio argudo]

Thanks all for your words, I feel glad you liked it!

Mike, I agree the first pic looks more like common Van gogh and the second like theo, my intentions were a deciption more unknown of the artist and diferent look, I took one of his selfportrait as reference,

what wonders me is that many people and even the Amsterdam Van gogh museums don't accept this picture as a authentic of Vincent... for me is very evident, anyone here dosen't?

another view of my supposed V. Gogh!

thanks Mike for the comment!
cheers

Great work Antonio my friend!!! I like your busts and your aircraft!!!

 

[Ferris]

Wow, Antonio, that's some top notch portrait sculpting, very impressive!
The portraits are very much alive and capture the person extremely well.
You must have an artistic training combined with considerable talent. Bravo!

Cheers,
Adrian
