WIP Powerful men for powerful weapons

[Elek Kozma]

The samurai theme is widely represented in miniature. Beautiful armor, dynamic figures. In search of variety, I decided to sculpt 3-4 unusual fighters for the era of Sengoku jidai - strongmen "from the people", armed with what they managed to find-steal ;-) 75 mm, magic sculpt and beesputty. The first "tough guy"

The second. To be continued

Beautiful sculpts, guessing these are sumo gents, especially the first one. If memory serves the second fellas weapon is a No Dachi, a big sword, a really big sword!

I haven't tried the bees wax putty but heard lots of good things about it, is it usable with plastic parts given the need to heat it to cure?

Cheers Simon

I didn't use the plastic, beesputty requires the owen

No I use plastic for the armature but have always stayed away from the polymer putties like Bees Wax and Sculpey Firm but would like to give them a go, guess I'll have to make a proper armature and stop being lazy!

Many thanks

Cheers Simon

Beautiful sculptures, congratulations on your work!!

I agree, beautiful sculpts! They put me in mind of Toshiro Mifune as Kikuchiyo in "The Seven Samurai".

Prost!
