Here is an example of a very nicely done bust.

 

[gordy]

Well done, the tendons and textures on the neck and around the eyes are amazing

 

[mil-mart]

Brilliant sculpting and amazing detail work.

Cheers Ken

 

[tonydawe]

Yes,I agree with Gordy, the details in the neck are amazing. Great sculpting.

Looks like another home run from Ruslan, a man of few words. Superb...I'd love to know so much about his techniques, materials, etc., but I guess not.
The epoxy he uses fascinates me...as it seems to wind up (to my eye, anyway) looking like plastic.
I haven't the foggiest about when the subject is from--the time period-- or how his beret stays on...can anyone help?

 

[pkess]

Phil,
Looks like a Landsknecht to me. I thought the same thing about the beret; needs a tie to stay on.

 

[megroot]

Excellent scultpwork.
Having alot off questions about this figure.

Looking like another masterpiece Ruslan, there is a lot of work gone into the anatomy of the neck area alone.

Great piece,

Steve

second version :

 

[gordy]

Fantastic, work on the feathers

 

[TWOMOONS]

Yes, the second version is wonderful, too. ..and now, I'm even more mystified at the headgear/gravity thing.

 

[clubcat]

Looks like a Landsknecht/Reislaufer to me and a very nice one at that.
Hat pins?

Yes, I thought the same thing, Melanie.
But while fighting, these could be very troublesome, I would suspect. Along with the field of vision?
Perhaps in the landsknecht combat manual, it states "before engaging in hand to hand combat, fling off beret"?

 

[clubcat]

I have seen images where they tie them on with ribbons.
I'm sure that special Katzbalger style hatpins would be really useful in a melee

Melanie

 

[vorobiov ruslan]

Yes, I'll do or ribbon or lace for a beret.
I do not know what would be better

 

[Vermis]

The fineness of the details is astounding. I'd be terrified of snapping off the feathers and loose cloth.

 

[davidmitchell]

Another masterful piece of sculpting,I always look forward to seeing your work.


Cheers David
