The Art of JOHN ROSENGRANT

[John Rosengrant]

Here's another one for the 1/16th Tiger I getting close some final tweaking and cleaning up left to do-Driver figure

It's the black "Flak coverall" that a lot of the Panzer crews appropriated, he's sitting in the drivers hatch

What a delightful looking sculpt. A determined yet youthful panzer soldier.

thanks gentlemen ! I'm glad Joe the youthfulness comes through on the young driver

 

[Steve headley]

That’s a fine sculpt, the face on the driver really does capture the youth element to this panzer driver. Just love the determination in his face. Very well done indeed.

Holy crap!!!! The face is amazing!!!!! Youthful and fresh.

I've got to get in touch with Chris Mrosko and just pay him in advance to get these.

Great sculpting again John.
I am very curious how you sculpt the hands. Could you give some info on that?
Thanks and regards,
RJ

 

[John Rosengrant]

for me the key is to get the hands proportionally roughed in then I mold them and clean /tighten up the resin castings. Same with the heads. Sharp ex-acto ,scalpel blades. I now have built up an assortment to draw upon /modify . I do the same with helmets, boots and other equipment to speed up the process. I find the resin carves easily

That's an interesting method for doing hands and heads, will be giving that a try in the future.

Boy would I love to build and paint that whole scene, but shoot, I gotta get a new cabinet first. I'm just about out of room!
