RHA Trumpeter

[elanlane13]

Here is a commission piece of a 54mm Royal Horse Artillery trumpeter from 1935.
Sculpted in: BeesPutty (pale green), MagicSculp/Duro mix (darker green) and MagicSculp (white)
There are a couple of tweeks to finish it. He does have a banner for his trumpet, but the photo seems to have disappeared!

Very nicely done. I have one of the rare Barton 90mm ones.

Lovely job, I've been watching it on FB. I have heard good things about the bees wax putty but as I base mine on a plastic mannequin I would worry about heating it.

Cheers Simon

Thank you all for your feedback.
Simon, BeesPutty bakes at 130 degrees for half an hour. I have baked figures with resin boots without any detrimental effect. I can't vouch for plastic however.

Good advice I think, especially as I have a temperamental gas cooker!

Cheers Simon
