WIP - Grenadier bust 1/9

[Piotr Czyz]

Hi all,

inspired by this tread -> http://www.planetfigure.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24013&highlight=foot I decided to make my version of this bust.

This work is still in very early stage - the head is before final sanding, there are some other adjusments to make.

Best regards, Piotr

Excellent work Piotr. Good to see you back.

Hello Piotr,

you're doing a good work.
I'm happy to see that our work (Laurent for the sculpting and me for the painting) inspired you.

You did a better work than us especially for the mitre cap's back. It looks more like in real.
But I'm conviced that you'll have a better rendition with the mitre cap's front drawings if painted than sculpted. It looks too thik right now.

Anyway thx for sharing and keep on showing us your WIP.

Piotr - The face is awesome. It captures the malnourished look of 18th Century British - and Scottish - soldiers. The detail on the Mitre is superb.

Hello all,

thank you for your kind words friends!



Arthur -> my second kid was born this spring. My boys are consuming all my free time now , so I don't have to many possibilities to continue our hobby... but I try to pursuit it...

Guy -> thank you!

tefaet, Christos, Sambaman, Excatlon ->thank you!

Angaliel -> thank you for such nice inspiration . I do agree that cap's front drawings would have better look, but I don't have such talent to paint it (especialy in 1/16 scale! I really admire it! .

SerjeantWildgoose -> wow, thank you for such compliment!

Anders,paulyrichard -> lettering - there is no magic. I built my hobby home-made 'do-it-yourself' cnc mill and machine the mitre's front - that was the goal of making such equipment. If you are interested I can provide you with details.

Please find the bust's outlook (pink mass is to be removed).

Best regards,

Piotr

P.S. Thank you again for all comments!

No magic, but plenty of skill! Awesome, dude!

Hello!

Sambaman -> I don't know now - we'll see how it would look when it will be finished. If it be good and you like it - I will make a few copies (but I wouldn't call it commercial release but rather 'garage-just-for-fun release' ).

paulyrichard -> thank you!

Regards, Piotr
