Ruff Trade

[DEL]

Can any of you guys point me in the direction of a bust scale 1:12 or 1:10 with a tudor style ruff. see below.
It's only the ruff I'm looking for so any info would be very welcome.
Cheers

Much appreciated guys. Suspect that the cost including postage is likely to be prohibitive given that all I want is the ruff.
Might have to bite the bullet and actually model it

I'm afraid that's what I thought too.

I'm planning to do a half figure bust of my favourite portrait in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.
Tom Derry. Jester to Anne of Denmark 1614

As I remember, the very talented Alan Ball did a s-b-s sculpt of a 'Tulip Guard' in a 'Historical Miniatures' magazine a number of years ago. In it, he sculpted a ruff as part of the figure. I did a scratchbuilt 1/9th-scale Shakespeare for a box diorama project (Okay, I didn't sculpt the head - major conversion); I'll try to find any notes for it. Not sure which issue of HM; if I get time, I'll try to find it.

Jim, I remember Alans Tulip Guard. Can't remember the scale but I'd imagine that it would be around 70mm so the sculpting technique might be different. If you can find any notes on your sculpting of a ruff that would be great.

Del,
I've gone through all my issues of HM - I have a full set, including the only 'on-line' issue (that I'm aware of). I cannot find the article, for love or money, but I know I NEVER loaned any of them out. It bugs me that I got your hopes up and now I can't deliver.

As I remember, Alan sculpted the ruff on a circle of styrene for solidity. When it was dry, he then carefully super-glued thin lead wire on edge, probably for the seam/edge. I believe he cut it from the styrene and attached it to the shoulders of the figure, then added the head to the gap in the middle. I'll keep looking, but now it bothers me that I can't find the article - and the issue.

As to my Shakespeare project: I did find my project notes detailing more frustrations than triumphs, but I did get it completed in time for SCAHMS 2009 and got a silver for it. I did try to sculpt a ruff using Alan's technique. After botching two of them, I gave up and gave 'Old Will' a more conventional, Elizabethan collar.

I'm sorry I couldn't deliver the goods.

Jim

Cheers Jim and thanks for you efforts. I can see the logic in Alans technique, whether or not I can make it work in a much bigger scale Im not sure.
I'll probably see him in a couple of weeks at HvB so I'll pick his brains then
Cheers

My daughters come up with a ridiculously obvious solution. I'll have a shot at it when I come back from Bavaria and detox
