General view at the moment:


Not the final yet, because I still need to make spurs and a coat.

Spurs: a little soldering, a little sculpting.

The other day I finished the last stages of sculpting a figurine - a casaque cloak. Now you can see that this is the guard of Cardinal Richelieu.

 

[Oda]

Excellent!

Hi

That's a lot of putty to get in position and folded , certainly looks really good

What did you use for the cape and tabard edging?

Thanks for sharing the updates

What did you use for the cape and tabard edging?

Cape, braid, buttons and crosses - polymer clay of different colors.

Was it always your intention to do the cape? It seams a real shame to cover the excellent clothing you had sculpted, love it.

Yes, I originally planned to make a cloak, but as you can see, I made it in such a way that the figure can be assembled without conversions in two versions - with a cloak and without a cloak.
