I want to show you some "new" semiround flats from my new figure-line. Attached first the pictures from which Ken Farrar (well known here) had made wonderful master-figures.

I can only say "Thank you, Ken".


There are two bust from indian tribes which are not often found as figure. First a tlingit-warrior with a wooden mask and then an inuit with bow and a armour

More in my next post

In normal cases I would make the copies with a white resin but I had some problems to make pictures from that flats.

Here are 3 flats used a light-grey resin. I must make the mould for the forth flats again because I had some problems with the "buttons" on the war-axe. So here a picture from the master-flat

And now some pictures of the white resin flats. You can see here that the "buttons" on the first copy of the forth figures are cut away. I must make them new.

The price for the flats will be between 11,00 and 13,00 Euro plus postage. You will find them in my base-shop next week or you can send me a PM.

Copies from the first three flats are ready and the last mould will be ready on saturday and the first copies on sunday.

What do you think about the "unknown" indian tribes?

They have turned out very well Ulrich. Good luck with this little venture and I look forward to seeing some more figures in the series "Unknown Indian tribes" (y)(y)(y)
I've also linked to this thread on the BFFS site Ulrich.

Gordy and Roger: Thank you very much. I will wait and see. Perhaps these two ones are the next.

A tlingit war canoe and a german female shaman from the period roundabout 6500 years before christ. The shaman is a reconstruction after some archaeological findings (hope the words are correct) in a grave

I had the pleasure of seeing the masters for these, and Ken made a superb job of them.
All the very best with them Ulrich.

Hi Ulrich, What a great range developing here, these are real painters pieces, the Inuit look really odd until you see the illustration which explains the body armour. The Shaman would also be a real challenge to paint if it goes into production.
Congratulations on the initiative and to Ken for his sculpts, I wish you every success.

I'm a huge fan of Northwest coast Native Americans and their art, so it's very exciting to see these pieces! Good luck gentlemen!

Thanks a lot.

I forgot to mention the seize. The busts are between 10 and 11 cm high and between 9 and 12 cm wide. So scale would be something between 1:9 or 1:10 I think

These are EXCELLENT figures, Ulrich! I love the bust style flats as they give us a chance to concentrate on the face. The overall size is also perfect. Interesting and unusual subjects! You are doing some great work here. Keep 'em coming!!

BTW, how can I buy these?
 
Hi Ulrich, . You certainly chose some very interesting and challenging subjects and as you know my favorite was the Klingit warrior.
Congratulations and best wishes on your first releases and I hope it all goes well.(y)

Cheers Ken
 
Great looking releases Ulrich, Ken has done a great job on them for you, best of luck with these.

All the best
