New from Carl Reid

Carl seems to be mainly active on Facebook these days, which is where I saw this this morning.

He doesn't post on here any more but I'm sure he wouldn't mind me flagging it up for those who don't do Facebook.

Good to see him still active.

I know Mike, my link is to his website! I’m just doing a bit of free advertising for him here (he’s not paying me, I’m just nice like that

) .

As amazing as some of the 3D sculpting that’s around now is, it’s always good to see the talented “old school” guys still knocking stuff out.

This is superb. He remains the best sculptor of North American Indians. A shame as 120mm is too big for me.

Mine arrived in the post today. Here's a few shots of the resin for those who may be interested in seeing them, and to show the parts breakdown. His right arm (not visible on the "box top" photos) is cast integral with the body.

He's generally very nicely cast. A bit of clean-up to be done here and there, but nothing too major. The trickiest part will probably be removing the small casting blocks from the dog's tail and back leg without causing any damage.

I like it that Carl has sculpted the sling for the musket. Those things are the bane of my life when I have to make them myself.
