Looking good Stephen,

The armor scales look like they were fun to do!

hi stephen
very very good start

 

[slaj]

Sebastien, Anders thanks. The lamellar armour was cut from thin strips of cured putty, sanded to shape and put on ONE by ONE !!! So you can imagine the fun

Great sculpting Stephen .
Just a question :
I normally use a mixture of duro and MS , because I always have problems with a sticky substance as pure MS . How do you handle magic sculpt.

Looks very nice, Stephen! I like the look on his face and the turn of the head too. I can't imagine making that armor! I'd glue my fingers together many times over.

Is he going to be mounted on the horse you were working on a while back?

Hi Stephen, he looks very nice so far...the armour looks great, but the lower legs also look very well done too, the wraps and straps look very natural and realistic..really good stuff mate..!!

All the best...Roy

Hi Stephen.

I don't get into the vBench very much but was just "snooping"
around. This looks very interesting. Will pop back in to see
the progress.
Thank you for your input at MFCA. I will be sending you an email.
But appreciate the time you spent with me.

Very good !!

Marc, thanks. When I use a Duro/MS mix it's usually for paricular effects like mail, hair, fur etc. because I like th strength of MS and the elasticity of Duro. I handle MS on its own by using a lot of Isopropyl alcohol and to avoid that initial stickinenss I usually lave it there for a few minutes. Hope this helps.

Hey Wendy, thanks. True, the armour was very time consuming to do but not that hard as a whole. And I still need to add the threading
