Fantastic looking releases Guillermo. I also look forward to seeing the last two released.

Some very different pieces here, the Jose de San Martin is quite unusual with the flag draped in that way. I definately have to go with Guy, the last two yet to be released pieces are looking FANTASTIC!!! Somenthing very different to what else is on the market. Great research on the originals.

Thank you both pals!

That's part of our brand philosophy: scale nor genre doesn't matter if you enjoy it.

Gral San Martin was particularly a challenge due to that flag, but the result is worthwhile.

The last two ones are at 120mm (the smallest scale I can get for such complexity)
I got almost 40 pictures of each original piece to get the proper resemblance.

Cheers!

These are AWESOME.
I really would like to have that Moses figure. It is 120mm with is not my usual scale, but i love it so much that i want to paint this one.

Wow, you did the Pieta? Unbelievable. I saw the real version in person and have always thought it was the finest piece of sculpting ever done by anyone. Your version is superb.

The last 2 figures look amazing, to copy Michelangelo is to invite critism and it's a brave sculptor to even attempt it. I would love to see some closeups and if there as good as they seem I might even let the moths out of my wallet.

Cheers Ken

Thanks once again!

I was a fan of Michelangelo's master work for all my live, and I became even more after working on these pieces. I was tempted by the idea of making small replicas of his work, and how they would look painted.

One of the biggest challenges to resolve could be the historical reference to use for that task: the Renaissance inspiration from the author's times or the own characters' periods/costumes.

I hope to post more detail shots as soon as their deadline came closer.

Cheers!

I couldn't agree more, Bob. The Pieta is everything I think sculpture should be. I'm anxious to see this kit. Kudos to Trifon for even attempting this and the Moses as well.

Hello Guillermo,
I`m glad to see your news finally on the market, good works as always my bro.
I hope the best for your firm.

Alex.

Finally a figure representing a South American hero. I will be picking up the San Martin bust.

 

[Jamie Stokes]

Nice site.

Liked the Orc version of Don Quixote - very Nice

Cheers

 

[gdcdreamer]

Thanks once more!

We've plans to design some other figures as a tribute to our local heros, not only bust but complete (and even mounted) figures.


Alex, my friend! Thanks for your continuous support!

Cheers!
