Completed The Challenger 120mm

[Alain11]

Hi all, this year will see a new edition of the America's Cup. Also, I took a leap in time to model the Sir Thomas Lipton figurine in 120mm. Terra cota, magic sculp and Duro are the main pastes used. I've already started painting, see you later.

Wow that is a beautiful sculpt, the drape of cloth in his clothing is wonderful and the details are so very well done. The series of pictures of the sculpt are very informative, thank you for that.

Cheers Simon

Simon, Malc and Nap, Thank you for your nice comments. We imagine that Mr. Lipton had high quality clothes. Well-ironed clothes, so the drapes are fine. Alan

Hello everyone. Melanie, Nigel and Eppi, thank you for your kind comments. Thank you all for your Likes. Just a photo of the deck that will receive Sir Lipton. Wood for ship modeling and strips of black paper for the intervals. Alan

Lovely it of decking.

Cheers Simon

The decking has been beautifully finished, but the shift of butts should be at least every fourth plank, not every other plank (https://modelshipworld.com/topic/24...ce-and-terminology-for-deck-plank-butt-shift/).

Here's a 1/16 deck I did for HMS Victory vignette/diorama:

Yeah that looks too complex to my eye, are you going to stick with what you have or redo it?

Cheers Simon

 

[Alain11]

Hi all, on a three-deck warship, without a doubt. But Lipton is on a luxury yacht... No I'm not going to do it again because my figurine is finished. Thank you for your observation. alain

Fabulous, so much character captured between your sculpt and paint job. Really impressive work, certainly one to be proud of.
