Sculpting a Hanoverian Rifles Sergeant 1815

[elanlane13]

The impetus for this figure was a photo (below) of a reenactor dressed in the uniform of a Hanoverian Rifles Sergeant. I loved the way the yellow sash contrasted with the dark green uniform and the horse emblem on his shako.
The figure is 54mm (1:30), sculpting in MagicSculp and Bees Putty.
Below are some snaps of the initial stages of the sculpting of the figure. They are shown in reverse order:

Looking good so far. Is Beesputty epoxy?

Thanks for the feedback.
Scotty, Bees Putty is an oven baked clay.

Hi Rob

Apologies thought I'd posted , nice to see how a sculpt happens from the reference to the pose in the garden ( you have understanding neighbours ! )

Particularly like the flash of yellow he will have as well as the shako plate

Following with interest
