Hi!
My project for this year is to try and sculpt my first historical minis. I always wanted to make some Plains Indians so thats the thing I have begun with.
Here is my first sculpt: a Crow warrior.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aP-dPhBbOrY/WG_WH0DD6XI/AAAAAAAAAjA/BRqkJ3tBaq8xAGU-gWPLcyqMJ6cnDCiSACLcB/s1600/IMG_20170106_114857.jpg)
I want to make several Crows more before I move to another tribe ;)
How do you like it?
A bit more information at my blog:

Looking good, couple of thoughts.
The loin cloth is supple and won't follow the right leg, it should be hanging between the legs more.
The jaw line is narrow, you might look at squaring off the face a bit.
-
Looks like you're head in the right direction...as long as you give it feet!
-
I hope I can express this in a constructive way...
The anatomy and facial features are very good, and the hair is outstanding, really well designed and executed.
The stance of the figure looks wrong to me, like he's brandishing the club and shield, rather than seriously fighting with them. The pose looks flat - I have heard that sculptors will often flatten out a figure's pose to facilitate casting, that radically 3-dimensional figures may need multi-part molds. That said, I think the shield should be in front of his body, fairly high, and the club should be either straight up in front, or swung up and back to strike a blow. The point of the club should be to the front - he's trying to strike his foe with the point. This pose looks like he's swinging the club sideways, and will make impact with the flat side of the head.
I see a lot of figures posed like this, and it bothers me. Sometimes I try to change it. Here are some very old school Rafm IN-5 Iroquois that I painted. No, I'm not a very advanced painter, or photographer either,these are about the best I've done. This is a very flat pose, with the shield held out in front. The figure on the bottom right shows the original pose. The figure on the bottom left shows how I've bent the shield arm as much as I could, to bring the shield around to the figure's front. Not a lot of change...but the original flat pose bothered me so much that I had to work on it.

Very nice, recognisable as a Crow warrior for a start, not a generic plains Indian. Looking forward to seeing more. :)
Of course you really need to do lots and mounted versions of all of them then get them cast and we will buy them ;D
-
Thank you for the comments and advices :) :) :)
@Cory: I´ll try to fix the loincloth. The problem with the face may be due to the light, it looks broad enough for me, but I´ll look at it again :-)
@zippyfusenet: Yes, the mini turned out to flat for my liking but I think I´ll try to fix it in the new minis rather than trying to remake this. It would be to much work and I´m afraid I´d destroy some details.
The reason I made this like that is because I wanted to make a miniature that was easy to cast. I cast myself and it´s hell to make molds of minis with parts at 90º from other parts :? I´ll see what I can do in future miniatures, since I like to sculpt as dinamic as possible...
(as a poor excuse: I didn´t wanted the mini to be on a attacking position, rather in a "cautious advance boasting a bit" one but I don´t think I managed it lol)
@Malamute: That it is recognisable as a Crow is the best compliment I could wish ;)
I have 3 sets of them on my schedule and then their mounted versions...Getting a professional caster could be tricky but that´s exactly my goal ::)

Excellent, looking forward to seeing them. ;D
I am not sure by your comment are you looking for a professional caster?
I can recommend the best caster in the UK to you if needs be?

Yep! What he said ;D

Lovelly sculp. :-* :-*
Looking forward for more and if they see the light of sales i´m in for some.
Try some illustrations from Howard Terpning. If i remember right he has some very nice Crow illustrations as well as others.
P.s. also do some comanches since monsieur LeMute didnt do them... yet ;D

I´ll see what I can do ;)
Thank you for your interest and support! I´m highly motivated right now so expect more minis soon ;)
@Malamute: Thanks a lot for the link. I´ll contact them as soon as I have the first set ready :-)
-
Great to see new Native American minis take shape!
Hope to see a whole tribe soon enough :)
-
Lovely sculpting! May also be worth contacting these other casters. Griffin Moulds is top-notch but there's also Schilling Figuren in Germany that offers a casting service might be worth checking them out to http://www.schilling-figuren.de/shop_content.php?coID=10
As you're probably based in Czech Republic you may also be interested in contacting Jan Kraal from Custom Made Miniatures as he also offers a moulding and casting service. http://www.custommademinis.com

@Belgian: Thank you a lot for the links!
By the way: I have sculpted a second warrior:
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CHPnALrUNCk/WG_2LeJW7GI/AAAAAAAAAjc/FAhFYNXZAYQewO1kse86IX5BE065gnLsgCLcB/s1600/IMG_20170106_114927.jpg)
;)

http://clearcominiatures.blogspot.com.es/2017/01/crow-warrior-2.html
-
Again, lovely sculpting. I like this guy's stance, seems realistic to me. The position of the quiver looks wrong to me. I'm not an expert archer, actually I don't arch at all, but here are some videos where practical experts demonstrate use of a Plains quiver:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rflExvCCtOo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDLS99djRRY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugCJqOHDPpo
-
Thank you a lot for the comment :)
I'm an archer myself since several years ;) The guys in the videos show some ways of using A quiver, but not the only one and also not the "special"one on the plains. According to Thomas Mails and a lot of pictorical evidence, when Plains Indians use the bow for hunting or war they use to carry it very low, almost at the left hipe, so they would reach for the arrows crossing the body. It seems odd to us but I suposse it makes perfect sense if you shot with the arrows in the inner side of your hand instead of crossing them, European style...
I think the quiver in the mini should lay a bit more down though.
The second video is very interesting, I had never seen someone carrying the quiver on the front. Does he have any references for it?
-
None of the fellows in the videos gives any references. I think most of them are bow hunters, experienced at taking game. They all seem to be demonstrating what works for them personally, and they show some very different techniques. It makes sense to me that you would use your quiver differently mounted or on foot. There are other vids I didn't link to that are also worth watching. I expect that your practical experience is worth more than my observations. I agree that the figure's quiver is too high. Quiver slung low on the left hip is one of the styles demonstrated, and it seems to me that would give a right-handed archer good access without getting in his way. In that case, the strap would go over his right shoulder.
-
Yes, I think they speak more about personal preferences than about historical research or something like this, but is nevertheless very interesting.
In that case, the strap would go over his right shoulder.
You are completely right! I didn´t think about that detail!! :'( (You know, I´m lefthanded and tend to make these kind of mistakes :?) I don´t know if I´m going to be able of fix it without causing a lot of damage :'( :'( :'(
Thanks for noticing! I hope I can do something about it!
Edit: I have tried it with my quiver. It works that way, specially if the strap is long and flexible, like it was. After it I have checked some pictures and some warriors carry the quiver over the left shoulder, even in this lower position. Again other carry it over the right one. I think, having a quiver with no back or front side (tubular, or very flat) and a long strap enables this kind of variation.
-
Another lovely figure. ;D
Not bothered about the quiver myself ;)
-
Great one. :-* :-*
The quiver looks fine to me.
It shows movement too. :)
-
I think these are excellent sculpts, certainly covering a tribe of the plains indians that do not get so much attention. I would certainly buy some if they were commercially available.
-
Thank you for the nice comments! :) :) :)
Working on more warriors right now ;)
-
All very nice. :-* IIRC The Revenant features Crows. 8)
-
Thank you Silent Invader :)
Here is my third warrior:
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DLuo7kRvksA/WG_3R8BqZaI/AAAAAAAAAjw/kYWzo0XDZ40p8PebGOhH3r5Nm_cAhckwACLcB/s1600/IMG_20170106_114958.jpg)
Maybe when I´m done with the first bunch I´d redo the braids so they begin higher (as usual in the Northern Plains) and lenghten the quiver a bit, for it turned out too short IMO.
More details about the equipment on my blog:
http://clearcominiatures.blogspot.com.es/2017/01/crow-warrior-3.html
-
Another great sculp. :-* :-*
Any chance of photos from the back of the figures?
-
Of course! :)

Normally I have more pics at the blog :-)
-
Looking great so far. :)
-
Many thanks for the photos. :)
I dont think the quivers are small. I think they are on the right side.
The bows arent big too so they look proportional IMO.
-
They all look great to me.
Very characterful.
:-* :-*

Thank you a lot :) I'm really glad that you like them!
I'm working on the next one, it will be a bit different ;)

The fourth one ;)

Another lovely addition.
:-* :-*

Definitely some interest here if these are considered for some kind of production.

Great sculps indeed. :-* :-*

Superb Clearco, keep it up :-*
-
Another cracking sculpt ;D
-
Thank you a lot for the kind comments! :) :) :)

Really like what you are doing. Hope you do some Cheyenne, Apache, and Comanche as they are all sorely lacking in regards to good miniatures. Can you post your sculpts next to a well known figure, say a Foundry, so we can see actual size and heft? Continue the great work and please keep posting.
Best,
Bill
(Can I purchase through your blog only? )
-
Thanks, Bill!
Well, I plan to sculpt at least 6 more tribes (including these one you mentioned) ;) No idea how long it will take though :P
I have no other miniatures around here currently, but I can get get some for this week and post the comparision shots ;)
In the meantime:

Here is the seventh I have made. Not so happy about how it turned out as by others but I don´t really know why, since it looked right to me during the process... :? Maybe the head sits not low enough?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VVQp4XsehHA/WKXjF3v-QGI/AAAAAAAAAoU/9kmzjPuxOJsLgTdkL6-CFyzg8-kUTdIewCLcB/s1600/IMG_20170216_162830.jpg)

Anyway: perfect is the enemy of good, so I´ll simply continue sculpting ;-)

-
His legs are very far apart, that's a long stride. He looks great thou go. Think you have captured the pose well, maybe move the legs in a fraction?
-
I think the sculp is very good.
About the legs if the indian is crossing a stream and jumping rock to rock he may have the legs stretched like that for example.
-
Sorry to activate your thread again but just to ask if you have any news about these indians.
They are great and i´m sure i will echo the words of many when i say i would love to see them at sell. :)
-
What Rumacara said - TAKE MY MONEY!
-
Hi!!
Sorry, I totally missed the answers!
I haven't been working on them since months (no time!) but
lately I got motivated again so I hope to start again sculpting
them :-) I'll keep you updated!
@Malamute: You are right, I see it now. I don't thing I
can modify the legs without destroying too much so I guess
I'll make a casting and work on it ;-)
-
The job so far:

Hi!
Thank you a lot for your interest and your kind comments!!
I actually managed to sculpt a bit again. I have thought that I´ll concentrate in the figures with the characteristic pompadour hairstyle and try and finish one first set of five of them instead of making two sets at the same time. I think it´s the only way for me to finish something and remain motivated that way :D
Anyway, here are the minis I´ve been working at:
(http://i66.tinypic.com/dmzlzd.jpg)
(http://i68.tinypic.com/iodmvd.jpg)
The archer has leggings out of trade cloth (the head is not glued yet, hence the weird stance ;)). The other one will be an experienced warrior, hence the warshirt. He will carry one big knife-bladed club. It´s not easy to see on the pictures, but the warshirt has beaded pannels and scalplocks (and more to come ::) )
Moreover, I´ve been working on the other sculpts for making them more "castable": filling gaps and stuff...That was also the reason I´ve put aside the Crow warriors with older styles, because of the many gaps they have with all these fluted pendants and stuff...It took me down as I realized I wasn´t unable to cast them so I gave up sculpting these figures like one year ago...Until now, when I have realized that I can keep sculpting the less problematic ones ;)
My plan is to make one first test-casting on resin with the first five figures and make the mounted versions out of it :-)
-
I've been watching this as you've progressed with them and thought what a good job you were doing but today I tried to sculpt some cactus, basically 1 central stalk with 2 side bits, not worrying about texture, just getting proportion and a relatively smooth surface.
I now realize what an amazing thing you are achieving - well done and keep at it because you are doing something amazing.
Cheers
-
Looking good. :)
-
Thank you for your comments! :-)
@Vagabond: that´s really really nice!! Thank you a lot for your words :-)
One more warrior done :-)

Thank you all! I'm very glad you like it :)
Now I have the first five basic warriors finished!
I will continue with some experienced warriors, so expect
some warshirts, warbonnets and the like ;)

Today nothing so fancy, but useful: the first shields for the figures, based on authentic Crow shields:

I have updated the blog at last with information about the last mini I sculpted and a pair of pics of the process:
http://clearcominiatures.blogspot.com.es/2018/02/crow-warrior-8.html
-
Very good ;D
-
Thanks, Malamute!
Here are the first 5 warriors' set ready. I now have to buy silicon and resin to make a master cast and then to look for a professional caster :-)

I use Griffin Moulds for mould making and casting. They are a well respected company and could easily produce your master and production moulds and cast the figures.
The only issue for you is they are based here in the UK.
Ps, I love your tepees? ;D
-
Brilliant!
Add another fan to your Teepee Fan Club too.
:-* :-*
-
With the risk to repeat others, another fan of the teepees. :D
The first set looks briliant. :-* :-*
-
Thank you a lot, people :)
I made the teepees following the real process, but at scale ;) I made a paper template and moisted it in a mix of glue and water so I could set it on the poles :)

@Malamute: Thank you for the advice! I don't really know what to do, since I'm having a lot of problems lately to get stuff sent to me from the UK :( I'll try with casters in the region before and then I´ll see :)
-
Well count me in - that's 4 in your tepee fan club. I spent ages once making 2 bell tents, I made it look really difficult.
Well done with this.

Thanks Vagabond! :-)
I´ve finished another one, an experienced warrior with associated regalia and...a stuffed bird on the head ;)

Very nice. I wish you luck in your casting endeavours and hoping that the end result is some of your wonderful sculpts for sale.

Great sculpt. ;D
-
Very, very nice indeed. :-* :-* :-*
-
Thank you a lot :) :) :)
I'm wondering if I should finish the second set of 5 Crow warriors (experienced warriors) or concentrate on making a set of enemies for the Crows instead of it so it would be possible to have the two "armies" growing at the same time (I'm working on a Lakota warrior right now because I simply wanted to sculpt one ;) ) What do you guys think? :)
-
Finish the Crow, do the mounted versions as well then move on to the Lakota :)
-

Agreed, especially the mounted versions. :D
-
Yup. Finish the Crows first.
Though nothing stops you to give a try on the Lakotas too. :D
-
Thanks people! I´ll continue with the Crows then :-) I´m a little afraid of sculpting horses since it would be my first time, but I suposse it´s a matter of practice...
In the meantime I have finished the Lakota warrior I was working on. I really enjoyed doing something a bit different:

I wouldn't worry about sculpting horses at this stage. Perhaps later but in the meantime you could scuplt to an existing provider such as Ebob who i understand allows use with a licence.
-
Looking good. I second Hu Rhu's suggestion about horses.

Or sculpt them so that they fit on readily available plastic horses.

Very good indeed, I like the pose ;D
-
Lovely figure and pose. :-* :-*
-
These are nice sculpts. Good luck with the castings.
-
nice :-* :-*
-
Thank you a lot, guys! :)

Here is another one! This is an officer of the Warrior Society of the Big Dogs, with the associated regalia. As such, he was expected to advance towards the enemy and never to retreat.

I like it very much. :-* :-*

Splendid work as usual ;D

Thanks! :) I'm very glad you like it!

By the way: I did some group photos before I finished that one:

Very, very nice, they really work well together, I can see them charging into a rival tribes camp. ;D

Thanks Malamute!!
I always have this scene of Dances with Wolves in my head while making these miniatures:

They look great all creeping along together like that.

This month I was rather slow sculpting but I can´t help posting some WIP images of the next warrior with his decorated warshirt:

I think he will be carrying a lance:

Here with scalplocks, ermines and a provisional head to let me figure out how he will be looking:

What do you guys think? :-)
-
I really like him ;D
-
really very good ;D
-
It's going to be quite a war party once you're finished
-
Very, very nice. :-* :-*
The war party is looking great. :)
-
Thank you a lot for your comments :)
I intend to make 15 figures fon 3 hypothetical packs of 5 minis each...plus maybe 2 figures as "command": one chief and a hooked staff bearer, since I really want to sculpt them! :D.
So it would be: pack 1: 5 normal warriors (done!)
pack 2: 5 elite warriors (3 done, 1 WIP)
pack 3: 5 different normal warriors (2 are older ones that I want to convert, 1 more WIP)
(pack 4): 2 cool guys as mentioned above (none done)
I´m beginning to see the end of this! :)
-
Soooo, the big question...
When they will be available for us mere mortals to buy? :)
-
:D
I can't say yet, I still have to check casting prizes and these kind of things. I was focusing on finishing them before I got crazy about letting them get cast, since I know myself and get easily distracted lol
Maybe I could get the sculpting finished by July? Though every time I make such a calculation, real life gets in the way...
I´ll of course inform you as soon as I take steps in that direction :) I really want to see them casted!! ;)
-
Take your time. :)
Better to take some more time with no hurries and keep sculping to that quality.
When they are done then we are still here to buy them. :D

Clearco, will you paint the figures yourself or send them away to be done?

A stunning addition.

I am looking forward to when you finish and get them cast up.
:D

Me too! Great work. You should be very proud of theses.

Well, I would like to paint myself at least one set. Actually I´m really eager to paint these figures (and to play one game or two with them too), it's a pity it takes me so long to finish them ;)

Another warrior joins the force! This is a young one without so much equipment or feathers and much plainer clothes...but with an elegant hairstyle, of course ;)

Thank you a lot for the nice comments guys! It really helps keeping me motivated :)

lol lol lol lol
By the way, when I finish the next figure I´ll have all Crows done so I'd like to know who is interested in having some so I can calculate the number of castings needed when I ask the casters :-)
So, those of you who are interested please let me know here :)
-
I’m interested :D
-
I’m interested :D
Me too.
:D
-
Oh, now you lot have done it. I'm picturing a battle with the crow versus Ewoks. That's just terrible, lads, terrible, I say. :(
lol
-
I´m interested. :)
-
Great! Thanks guys :)
-
Great! Thanks guys :)
I do hope that you are getting them cast in metal.
:)
-
Yes. Metal please. :)
-
I´d like to! ;)
It´ll ultimately depend on how many figures do I have to cast as a minimum amount so I hope more people get interested :)
-
I've redone some things I wasn't happy with ;)
First, the warbonnet of the Crazy Dog wishing to die. I didn't like how it turned inwards at the end, like an onion:

I think it's more realistic now.
Secondly, I altered the hairstyle of two older minis so they match better the others:

I know I wanted to sculpt only 10 Crows at the beginning, but then I couldn't stop ;) The more I investigated about the Crows the more I came to like them and the more things I wanted to sculpt :D
I'm really happy I managed to finish this. It's the longest time I've been focused on a single project AND these are my first ever historical minis ;)
I've already contacted some casters. I'll let you know as soon as I know more :)
-
They look great all together. ;D but now we need them mounted as well ;) lol
-
They look great all together. ;D but now we need them mounted as well ;) lol
Thanks! Yes, I know, I'm already working on the first horse. I'll make a pair of resin castings of the Crows so I can work on them for the mounted versions.
What do you think, should I try to produce these now or should I wait until I have the mounted versions aswell and launch them together? Most likely is gonna be a Kickstarter I guess...
-
Great warband. :-* :-* :-*
You could start producing the foot figures and then go to the mounted versions.
Just my opinion. :)
I know i will end up buying all so... ;D
-
Personally I’d wait and sell them with the mounted versions in one go. You may find it works out cheaper to cast them all together, depending upon how many horses you make and the number of moulds required (masters and production if you are going to go down that route)
-
Hmm, I didn't think about that more figures could be cheaper but it's certainly a factor to keep in mind!
What do you think it's better then btw, more horse models or less? If there are much less than riders then they would have to be cast more often, right? Calculating all possibilities is becoming more and more confusing o_o
-
I would suggest three different horses. Your options are to sculpt three different ones or have a master cast and then convert a number of the castings into different poses. For 15 figures I’d certainly have three (or more) poses.
What you should think about is whether you want to make just one or two master moulds and cast figures from the master until it’s worn out or from the master moulds make production moulds that you can cast up figures in multiple quantities.
More initial outlay to have production moulds made but cheaper long term if repeatedly casting them.
-
Thanks a lot for you help, Malamute! :)
Three horses seems ok and feasible. I had also thought that it would be a good idea to make a master casting so all horses are the same broad (and can therefore carry all riders I can sculpt ;)) so I'll be doing that :)
I have yet to think a lot about the moulds o_o If I'm to make the mounted version first it buys me a bit of extra time for thinking :D
-
While I'm waiting at the first figure to get casted in metal, I made some new tipis following Duhamel's excellent method:
I made them on cardboard, hence the color:

Then I painted them with some Blackfoot's designs:

Pretty happy about how they turned out. What do you think?
P.S: I left the bases unpainted until I decide how to make my plains board...

Nice work on those :)

I told my doctor that some nights I dream I'm a Tepee, but other times I dream
I'm a Marquee. He said that was my problem.....

Great work by the way.

Thanks a lot, people! :)

Hi!
I'm still struggling to learn to sculpt horses (oooh, how I hate them now!! >:() but in the meantime I have sculpted some Pawnees. I simply wanted to have some ;)

Really good, they certainly look like Pawnee :)

And the second tribe is comming up. :-* :-*
Very nice. :)
-
Thanks guys! I think I'll be able to finish the first five while waiting for the castings of the Crows to be made ;)

I have sculpted a Crow warrior woman. There are severals accounts of women fighting and/or leading warriors among the Crows on the 19th century and I wanted to show this. This will be the exclusive miniature when I manage to make the Kickstarter for the Crows ;)

Great idea, there are very few decent unarmed Native Amercian figures.
The Crow woman is lovely :-*

Thanks guys!! :-)
I wanted to have sculpted some Crow civilians during this summer but they were somehow bypassed by the Pawnee ::) I have some heads and bodies for the women though (I used some of it to make the warrior woman)
And...TADAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
First test casting arrived today!!! So pleased with the result and so happy to see it in the flesh :-* :-* :-* :-*

Not yet. This week I'll send the rest of the originals to the caster. Then he will make some copies and send them to me to check. If they are ok I' ll send them back, if not (for example, a detail was missing or something like that), I'll repair them and send them back...so I guess by the end of October or maybe already in November. I'll let you know!
By the way, I redid the warrior women because the head was too big and the right arm too long:

Thanks, guys! I suppose practicing is paying off ;)
Excellent work, any news on a release date?
Not yet! :'( The caster is having lots of work and he is taking a lot of time to cast my lot. Some models have been already casted, but the whole thing should have been done weeks ago (or a month...). Moreover, a bow broke and he has to send it back to me so I can repair it, with further delay on the whole process >:(
On a possitive note, I'm using this time to finish the Pawnee so I think I'd be able to let them to be casted together with the Crows.
The day before yesterday I got some photos of some of the castings. The pictures aren't great but if the quality is so high as in case of the test casting I got I think they'll be great :) Well, good things come to these who wait, I guess ;)

Lovely set. :-* :-* :-*
Sooooo, can we have them for Christmas????? ::) :D

More amazing work!

The Pawnee look great, very distinctive and a good contrast to the Crow. :-*

Thank you gents! I'm glad you like them!

Thanks! I'm consciently somehow exagerating the national features of each indian nation in order to achieve several distint looks that can be tell appart on the battelfield :) Glad it shows!
Sooooo, can we have them for Christmas????? ::) :D
lol Well, the day before yesterday I'd have said "YES!" but today I'm not so sure: there is a problem using homemade resin pieces for miniatures: when these are casted it can occur that they have some minor inner bubbles that give place when under the big preasure of the casting process. That has ocurred to my figures so we're having some problems that need repairs.
Yesterday I received the first half of the minis. Sadly, there are three models with these issues and I have to repair them and send back again. The same will probably occur with the other half of the models...
Because of that I was very frustrated yesterday and was even thinking about giving up...but I have though that it's better to do things good and slowly than trying to speed up things and ending with unsatisfying results on time. That's why I don't want to venture and say any release date at this moment.
Moreover, I'm not sending the Pawnees to the caster at this point, since the Crows need a bit more of work and we better concentrate on this before moving on.
So, chi va piano va lontano! I don't know when they are going to be available, but then they will be the best I can offer :)
Here you can see how they are looking (the ones with issues are not in the picture ;))

They look really good. Keep going, despite the setback, take your time. It will be worth it in the end. :)

Thanks for the encouragement, guys! I really apreciate it :)

The figures are too good for you to give up on them.
-
Keep at it....

Thank you for the support guys, much apreciated :)
Well, I have some news: after talking to my caster and to another ones it turned out that my figures are sort of uncastable. Well, not uncastable as such, but they tend to deform slightly when casted because of the home-made resin castings I used for some parts so they end for example having big heads or bigger size as intended and a lot of more issues I'm not happy with...besides the problems I commented months ago...
After much thinking I have come to the realization that the best solution is to sculpt them again. The caster agreed with me on this as he was having a really hard time casting the minis. So I want to use this chance too to make better some things I wasn't so happy with, and to improve some hard-to-cast poses. I expect the final figures to be better aswell as I have learned and practiced a lot since I began this project.
I have already begun sculpting some armatures and I hope to be able to show some progress at some not very distant point :)
-
I´m sad this didnt worked as you planned. :(
Nevertheless and as you said you learned a lot and i´m sure you will end up with even better figures.
We will be here to buy them. ;)
-
Sorry to hear this but also great to hear that you overcame this setback. You have fantastic sculpting skills. As the man said, we are here to buy them ;)
-
Always worth waiting for good figures :-)

Seconded, Rui has summed it up perfectly. Keep going! :)
-
If you have made figures using resin parts griffin moulds in the U.K. can cast them using a cold cure mould process followed by a low temp silicone mould.
I have regularly used this method

Seconded, Rui has summed it up perfectly. Keep going! :)
I Second Mama's Seconding!
Keep going, mate, as they are great.

Oh my! That's interesting and helpful! I'll give it a thought but I suspect I kind of made my mind about sculpting the things anew (I decided this back in early January)...as a perfectionistic person I now see so many mistakes in the original miniatures I made...It's good to know though. Thanks!! :)
P.S: besides there are some poses I made that can't be casted and I didn't count with the shrinkage that casting produces so some of the figures ended up bein very very narrow when casted twice...so I suppose I should make them again anyway in order to correct these issues :)
-
Just read this whole thread and can see that this has been a long learning process for you but you seem to have learned alot.I hope you don't give up on these as I think it will be great for someone to do tribe specific,especially Crows and Pawnees.Count me in as a customer when you start selling these.Maybe in a couple years you will be doing something like this. :o :-* ;D :D

Holy Crapoly Mark, where is that from?
Something you sculpted?
-
Thank you for the kind comment Marco :-) I had taken a very needed break of sculpting these figures but I'm currently getting back at them. It's only one or two armatures at the moment but it is a (re-)start :)
Nice figure! Who makes it? What scale is it?
-
That indian is a 1/30 (60mm) sculpt from John Jenkins Designs.It is probably the first figure of a new range coming out shortly called "Whiskey,Scalps & Beaver Pelts" focusing on the 1820's-1840's Mountain Man era.

Anything new with the Pawnee? Like set #2... so I can order my first set of 10 figs!
Of course, I'll need some Comanches and Shawnee to go along with them!!

Hi!
@BillK: nothing new, I restarted it all in fact ;) But I have finally ended the first phase of the second version lol
I copy-paste here the post I made on my blog with the last stand of things regarding my sculpts:
*************************************************************************************
Hi you all!
It has been a while since I published something here for the last time. There are several reasons for it. The main one is that I received a big setback while trying to produce the Crow figures I had finished a year ago (do you remember them?: Here). A while back I had made my own homemade castings of the dollies, heads and weapons I had previously made, and used them to speed up the sculpting process. The funny thing is that these resin castings, being homemade, contained very tiny bubbles in the inside, what caused that the miniatures I had made reacted oddly under the preassure and heat of the metal casting process, becoming holes or being deformed, specially at the head.
Moreover, I was a bit naïf designing some of the poses, that turned out being almost impossible to cast, as my caster told me.
Due to these developments, and after lots of failed castings and months of repairs of the masters for them to be finally released, I had some decisions to make back in November/December:
A) I could continue reapiring and release some of the miniatures (not all of them), some of them with serious flaws I couldn't repair.
B) I could let the thing be and sculpt something else.
C) I could start over.
So, as you may have guessed I picked C and started the whole project from the beginning (that means: sculpting dollies, weapons, heads and such again, not complete figures) BUT then I suffered a sort of creative blockade and began a circle of sculpting things, finishing them, not liking them at all (or discovering they are wrong in some way), despairing, hating the project, becoming motivated again, starting over with other materials and...back to the beginning. That went on and on for many months, with lots of interferences of the real world and real job cutting my sculpting time.
Nevertheless, among lots of useless dollies, parts and scraps I was slowly able to finish some minor things so that the project went on (as fast as a snail, but...) Then the last month and a half I actually began overcoming the blockade and sculpting things that I could use, so I worked harder untill yesterday, when I f***ing finally finished it all!!!
Btw I have realised that I hate sculpting dollies insted of complete figures but I know in the end it's worth the effort
I didn't want to show anything here until I had something to show so here it is:

I send the bits to the caster today. I'll tell you how it goes :)

Keep at it, it will be worth it in the end :)

Hang in there... in the end I'm certain you'll have some fantastic products!

It certainly will.

Like i said we are here. ;)
Take your time and if you need any info let me know and i see what i have. :)

Excellent work
I found it really interesting following this thread because you designed some great miniatures I expect your second set will totally surpass the first attempts.
I well know the process of despair you have gone through but with a critical eye and a desire for perfection like you have you will definitely produce excellent miniatures and develop the skill of a top sculptor,

OK...OK...OK I know I am being an equine version of a button counter, but I have a couple of comments on this sculpt (which really IS gorgeous). First, maybe it is the angle of the photo, but it looks as if the horse's ears are on backwards. Even allowing for a horse's "listening ear", it seems like an odd angle. Second, and again maybe it is the photo, but it appears that the headstall lacks a strap over the poll of the horse (that area behind the ears and at the apex of the neck). Without that, a bridle will simply slip off a horse's head.
I will now continue with my critical analysis of proper length of the fringe on the figure's shirt..... ;D

Your observation about the ears is correct.

I'm not sculpting that much at the moment because I thought I had earned a little pause (and because I hadn't any vacations this summer :/), so I'm focusing on pimping up my reenactment stuff on my free time ;) I plan to go back at regularly sculpting by October though :-)
Besides the caster had hollidays on August so he is beginning with the castings these days. I'll keep you informed as soon as I become more news from him :)

Hi!
At least I have some news! The castings of the armatures and pieces I sculpted have finally arrived!!

The hand with the weapon is a separate piece, interchangeable with the one of the other warrior :)
I hope you like it!

Really love your Pawnee... visions of scenes from Dances With Wolves. I also think your teepee template design and execution are outstanding.

Thank you a lot! :) :) :)

Hi!!
Thank you all for the nice comments :)
I haven't had much time to update my miniatures progress, but I have managed to make some figures more:
First of all, 4 more regular warriors:

8 warrior in total:

I'm working on 4 officers of several warrior societies + 1 warleader (on the right). I'd maybe do 2 different warleaders at the end

My plan was to finish all the minis before I send them to the caster but I'm slowly getting demotivated because it's so much work at once: Originally I wanted only to finish the first 8 warriors before getting them casted, then I got carried away and added the 4 elite warriors, then a warleader, then two...It's getting to much to finish on one sitting. I think I work better with littler achievable goals instead of one bigger one...
So I'm thinking about getting these first 8 figures casted and then resume working on the other, after a week or two sculpting other stuff...What do you think? Should I wait untill I finish all instead? What do you recommend? Some of you have also experience in producing miniatures and I could use some advice here ;)
Thanks guys!
-
I'd say press on, and finish them all, I know its hard work. also you would get all 16 in one mould, which would be cheaper than two separate moulds to begin with. ;) :)
They look wonderful. :-*
-
I´m with Nick in that opinion. Finish as much as you can first.
No hurries on this phase. ;)
Has said before you are getting better on your sculp so use that to your advantage. :)
-
I'm with them. :)
Just put you're head down and keep going one step at a time 8)
Excellent work :-*
-
Thanks a lot for your comments and advice :) I'll continue then until I finish them :) :) :)
It's funny, I have to remind myself very often that I'm not in a hurry in order not to get too stressed about it ::)
-
:-* :-* :-* Looking good indeed...and as others have rightly said, keep going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't loose the Mojo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let us know when these are available to buy! ;)
-
Thank you a lot Arkoudaki :) :) :)
My mojo is still there, I have managed to finish two more figures :)

Crooked staff bearer from the Fox or Lumpwood warrior society. The staff worked as the sash from other tribes: it was pinned to the ground and obliged the warrior to make a stand and fight.

Not sure about the staff. The lenght is accurate, but the thickness could be too much. I wanted it not to break once casted...what do you guys think?
-
I like them both very much. :-*
On first impressions the staff looks massive. I get you don't want it to be too fragile and bendy so have to make a compromise on the thickness.
Personally I'd redo it slightly slimmer, it does look overly large and long. The thickness doesn't help with the length of it either.
Sorry, as I can see how much work has gone into it.
-
Thank you a lot for your feedback, Malamut, it helps a lot :)
I think I'll redo it then. Rather work a bit longer than having a piece I'm not so happy with ;)
-
Juan, if you leave the hand opened instead of gluing the staff you can use diferent weapons on it.
And you can also control the size thickness of the staff on a better way. :)
-
Rui is right. It would also be very difficult to cast as a one piece casting.
-
Hmm, that's a good idea! I did the hand AND the staff as a separate piece so it could be changed between the warriors. I have done the same thing with all weapons hands on this lot...Do you think it would be better to make open hands instead? I don't know if I can change that now :?
-
It depends on the miniature.
The advantage of the open hands is that you can have the same figure with diferent weapons. In this late case it would be better. On the others just leave as they are. They are great. :)
Keep them coming at your pace. You are there already. ;)
-
That's a good idea, Rui, but I have made all of them with separate hands so I should make spare weapons only for him...I think I'll make another hand with another weapon as an option :)
Here is the new staff:

I think the perspective make it appear bigger than it is, since it's way smaller than the old one... ;)
-
It looks a lot better. I really like the chap you posted on Facebook a well with the rifle ;D

That too... :D
And the separate hands with weapons is a great option.
Early tribal warfare and late whites vs indians warfare options. :D

Thanks a lot guys!

That! I want to make a sort of sprue with a bit more modern guns for that ;)
I show you here my contrary warrior of the "Crazy Dogs Wishing to Die". Unlike contraries on other tribes, the members of this society were only obliged to act as a contrary (and by the Crows, to seek the death in combat) for a season. After that time, they could choose if they wanted to carry on with their vows. The concrete cases I have read of did die fighting though...

Quite a group of lovely sculps. :-* :-* :-*
-
More lovely sculpts. They are all so full of character and movement. :-*
-
Thank you a lot, guys! :) :) :)
I'm working on the last three figures right now. I hope to finish them soon :)
-
I'm really looking forward to seeing them ;D

Thank you a lot, guys! :) :) :)
I'm working on the last three figures right now. I hope to finish them soon :)
I can't wait to get my hands on some of these amazing figures.
Do you plan to sculpt some mounted warriors,and some women and children
Thanks,
Andy
-
Thank you both! :)
Yes, I plan to do the mounted versions as soon as I get the first castings. I want to make some women, children and old folk too but maybe a bit later :)
-
Well, I did it!
First, the warrior woman:

I struggled with the sash until I decided to make it detachable
With this figure I have the four officers of the warrior societies done:

The War Leader (I don't think the photos make him justice :? It's really detailled):

Since the spear/lance is only attached via blue-tack it looks like the arm was too long but it will be ok once directly glued
And so the Crows are done (again);

-
Very well done. :D
Mark
-
The woman and the war chief are my favorites. :-* :-* :-*
Very well done.
Now you could do some non combatants. ;)
-
Let's get some Pawnees,Blackfeet and Arikaras .
Mark
-
They are superb. I love them :-*
-
They look great. I hope the mold-making and casting go well, and they're on the market soon.
-
Take my money!!
-
Amazing work!
-
They turned out brilliant :-*
-
Thank you a lot guys, I'm glad you like them as I worked very hard to finish them! :)
Sadly I couldn't send the minis to the caster as we have been locked down for several days already. I hope I can manage to produce them after this whole thing passes... ::)
-
That gives you time to sculp the next bath Juan. ;)
-
At first I wasn't able to do much sculpting work during this quarantine, but I ended up following Ruis' advice ;)
After a month locked down at home here are the first Pawnee warriors:

The Pawnees are cool as hell. o_o o_o lol
Mark

Really nice. I love the gunstock war club
-
Wow!!! :o
I love those pawnee warriors. :-* :-* :-*

Thank you a lot guys! I'm really glad you like them :) If don't run out of green stuff (which could happen every day now) I think I could be able to finish a couple of Pawnees' packs before we are allowed to go out again ;D
By the way, I just realized I didn't show the pieces of the finished Crow here so...

Thank you a lot, guys :)

Wow, that reminds me I have to update the blog some day ::)
Lockdown and specially homeworking have turned out very positive for my sculpting, so I have finished some more figures:
-Two Pawnee warriors:

I have also finished all shields for the Crows, 4 hands with coup sticks and will be working on horses, more Crow civilians, hands with more modern guns and some more Pawnee :)
-
Beautiful! :-*
-
I can picture them in metal. :D
Mark
-
She's brilliant :-*
-
Super sculps Juan. :-* :-* :-* :-*

Honestly, I think the four Pawnee Warriors are the best of the bunch!
The clean, ready to do battle look combined with great posing makes them really cool.
More, more, more.
Bill

Those four Pawnee are brilliant. Hopefully you’ll be able to go into production at some (near) stage
-
They are all excellent ;D ;D
-
Thank you a lot! :) :) I'm very glad you like them :)
It looks like next week we are going to begin the long way out of the lockdown so maybe I'll be able to send the minis to the caster at some point...Before I do that I have a question for you guys regarding the hands of the figures:
-My plan was that they are all interchangeable, so the hands and the arms are flat at the end, so everything can be glued to everything.
-I'm aware that that's not the strongest bond, specially when these are metal figures...
Here come the question...
-I was thinking about making some kind of peg on one of both ends so people only have to drill the other piece in order to be able to attach better both pieces to each other (instead of drilling both pieces and inserting a rod).
-Why would the peg be only on one of the two pieces? Why don't do I a peg on every arm and a hole on every hand, for example? Well, firstly because I don't know if I'd be able to do it in such a way that every arm fit to every hand. This kind of highly sklilled ingenieering is not what I'm good at :/ But this way you can decide which weapon goes with wich figure, then drill the hand so it fits the peg these figure has and don't bother about the hand could also fit another figure. Moreover, green stuff can not be drilled or sanded that easily and I fear destroying the hands in the process...(and believe me, I don't really want to sculpt them again ;D)
(I had also thought about making the pegs on the hand and the hole on the arms because hands are littler and maybe fiddlier to work with but the arms have still the skeleton-wire inside so I cannot drill them without causing a catastrophe ::) )
What do you think? Is that system acceptable? Would it be helpfull that the arms have such peg or would it be an obstacle to people who just want to glue the parts straight out of the box? Thoughts?
Thanks!! :)
-
Maybe you make them so you can attach at the shoulder?
Mark
-
Thanks for the idea, Marco! :)
The problem is that I already sculpted the hands as a separate piece and the arms aren't designed with modularity in mind but I can think about it by other figures :)
-
Hi!
The first figures have arrived safely to the caster. It could take a while until the first castings are done but one step at a time ;)
Anyway, here are the contents of the packs so far
¡Buenas!
Ya mandé las primeras figuras al fundidor y he aprovechado para hacer algunas fotos a los contenidos de los primeros packs:

They keep getting better and better.Keep up the good work.

There's a Big Pawnees shaped gap in current ranges, these should fill it very nicely. And quality sculpts too.
Now when are you going to take my money?!
-
Excellent Pawnee :-*

Excellent Pawnee :-*
They certainly are! ;D
Are you going to invest in them?

Thank you for the comments guys! :)

Well, the first test castings have arrived. I should get the rest soon and should be able to ship in a couple of weeks from now. Those of you who want me to reserve a pack or two please let me know via PM or write it down here :)
Here you can find the packs and prices:

Hi! I have made a little painting guide for the Crow:
http://clearcominiatures.blogspot.com/2020/07/painting-crow.html (http://clearcominiatures.blogspot.com/2020/07/painting-crow.html)
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bZLooJqy6G8/XwGUbxOB6_I/AAAAAAAABWk/iKEDnXMPU1Yz9jZhbHY-b-s7adv1f7vKQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/2.jpg) (proudly brought to you by Paint lol)
I hope you find it useful!
-
Wonderful! I will take them all. PM sent. ~Ax
-
Love the painting guide, that’s a very nice touch.
I’m holding off ordering these as I really want them mounted as well. Are you likely to do the mounted versions?
-
I ordered some earlier this week and Juan shipped very quickly. I agree I’d like mounted versions but Juan has worked hard to produce an innovative selection of figures; let’s support him and reward his creativity now.
-
Likewise, I’ve emailed Juan - we can always find reasons to put off an order but he deserves some support now to stay motivated and recognise the huge amount of work he’s done on these already
-
Hi people! Thank you a lot for the kind words (and orders ;)) and sorry for the delay answering, I have been ill for a couple of days.
The third Pawnee set is almost ready, I have only to retouch one spear and they will be done (I only keep forgetting taking photos of it). Then I have to do three figures more and a couple of accesoires and that would be the Pawnee :)
I have taken a couple of weeks break of sculpting Plains Indians because I need my mojo to grow back a bit and let my mind wander a bit between subjects like a good wargamer, but then I'll be at it again ;)
Regarding the mounted versions, I will definitely make them, but it could take a while: I still have to sculpt the horses and the ones I had started are nowhere to be found. Moreover, I realised I have to sculpt the riders from scratch instead of making conversions of the foot versions because they would be too thin if I would do that (a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy ends beeing rather thin) and that means extra time. I'll get there but I cannot say when yet.
:)
-
Okay, I must be a dufus. I went to order the Pawnee sets 1 thru 3 and couldn't figure out how to order. Duh.
-
Hi!
The Pawnee haven't been released yet, I'm still finishing them ;)
If you are interested in the Crow, here you can see how to order them:
http://clearcominiatures.blogspot.com/2020/06/prices-and-packs-plains-warriors.html
-
Yeah it looks like I'll need to place an order... :D
-
Well, my crow are here, on bases, glued up and undercoated. I’ve gone for a dark brown undercoat as there’s a lot of neutral shades on the way. I have to say that these lads are almost violently animated. My Foundry Blackfoot seem to be waiting at a pedestrian crossing by comparison. These Crow are either stalking forward with intent or piling in. One is leaning forward as he runs and it’s as if his war club is frozen in mid whirl. Another looks as if he’s just ducked a bullet and I don’t give good odds on the shooter if he’s out of bullets....

I'm very glad they arrived and even glader that you like them :) My goal was precisely that: to show movement so you can easily picture them on the battlefield, running, creeping, attacking ;)
I have finished a bunch more btw: a third pack of Pawnee with "character" :)

Where’s Wes?
Meanwhile a bad pic of some of my crow

Mine arrived this week.
Just lovely.
Full of details and character, great miniatures.
Keep up the excelent work. :)
-
Mine have arrived - lovely sculpts, well animated , cleanly cast and excellent service.
Buy them.
-
Thank you a lot guys for the kind words :) I'm very happy filling the world with Crow warriors ;)
I'm struggling to finish the last Pawnee figures as it has been too hot to sculpt (or live) around here for the past several weeks, but I'm slowly getting there :)
-
Finally I got a new figure done!
This is a member of the Crazy Dog society, aka the tied-penis society...They wore a string attached to the foreskin, with feathers at the end. In battle, some Crazy Dogs tied this string to a rope and a stake and pinned themselves to the ground in order to make a stand an protect their fellows tribesmen. They were forbidden to release themselves, the only way was to be released by another warrior. This is an extreme variation of the sashes and staffs used by other tribes...

Even if the Crazy Dogs used to dance naked I choose to make the figure with a breechcloth so it can be used as a regular warrior more easily if desired (you would need to clip away the string and voilà!)
-
Lovely figure. ;D
I didn't know about the Crazy Dog Society. Sounds a bit extreme for my tastes ;) lol
-
Brilliant figures and first class service from Juan.
Looking forward to the Pawnees,and,hopefully,some US army scouts.
Cheers,
Andy

Great sculp Juan. :-* :-*
But i woul say OUTCH!!!

I see that Juan's sculpts will be sold in the US.Congrats Juan! ;D o_o :D https://shop.badgergames.com/category.sc?categoryId=850

The mind boggles but put him on the list.
I have to say I was a bit spooked at painting the crow but they were actually fun and easy to paint - I botched one of the hair pipes but that was it. Juan’s painting guide broke it down well and was invaluable.
Consider the Pawnee sold!

Thank you a lot guys for your nice comments! :) :) :)
Today I have got the first picture of some of my Crow painted by the guy at Field Factory:

Only one more figure and I call the Pawnee done. Can't wait o_o

What's that he's holding?
Mark

That's a uncommon ball headed club, similar to the one this Osage is holding:

Hi! Here is the Pawnee warchief, based on Petalesharo II. This is the last Pawnee figures, I only have to finish some extra bits and then they will be finished :)

Absolutely awesome collection you have put together here. :-*
I think what I find striking is not just all the detail you put onto your minis (which it certainly is), but the faces and the musculature of the minis just yell realistic!

Lakota???

Hi Clearco
I've watched your range closely and it is in good place in my order agenda, just that I have other periods to finish first.
Now it appears that your first crow references are out of stock. What I need to know is this: is it for a short delay and your ranges will stay available, or do you intend to produce references for just a short period of availability and then over?
First option and you get me as a future customer, second and well very good work but I'll pass my way.
We have to consider the consequences of Brexit for the miniatures availability in Europe and therefore I'm ready to second your very promising project. But it has to be one, professionally.
Your choices will be sound related to your situation, I understand that, but just may or may not suite me.
Anyway best wishes as you deserve it. Great job.
Philippe
-
Thank you a lot for the nice comments!
Lakota???
Cheyenne ;-)
@Pallard: don't worry, they are out of stock because I didn't expect to sell all of them so quickly but I plan to restock them at the same time I release the Pawnee. It is going a bit slow right now because I'm under a lot of pressure at work and can't really fully focus on my miniatures but after all the work I have done on them I want to make sure that many people can enjoy my "creations" :-)
A picture of the completed Pawnee, btw:

OK Clearco
Nice to hear that! you can take your time, I have a long distance project... as this is indeed an opening to a longing one. I have the very nice Gringo 40 Texas militiamen, Seminoles from A Hundred Nations and Blackfoot warriors from the Perrys. And I have two great skirmish rule sets for the period: one by Chris Peers for tribal warfare on the plains, and the old but still unequaled Western Skirmish Rules. Your figures will open up the full scope of Indian trails back from the giants screens of my youth ;D.
-
Great!
I too have "War on The Plains", I think it's great :) "The Rules with no Name" also offer the possibility of playing with native warbands and that's a really nice set of rules.
I show you some more painted examples:

Most Pawnee warrior societies didn't differ in terms of clothing or other regalia from the bulk of warriors, or hadn't any specific regalia associated with them...except for lances!
These are the lances of some of the main Pawnee warrior societies that were active in war:
-Left: BRAVE RAVEN society, whose members lead in hunt and in the line of battle.
-Middle: FIGHTING LANCE society. That was a war society comprised of many chiefs and warriors.
*This lance is almost identical with the Skidi RED SOCIETY lance (that had four clusters of feather along the shaft instead of three) and could also be used as that. Members of this society were called to lead in war and for act as police in battle.
*Removing the spear point and the two longer feather, it could represent the BLACK HEADS society lance. They acted as a sort of police in the line of battle and painted their faces white. They wore a tuft of crow feathers.
-Right: KNIFE LANCE, whose members were also active in the line of battle.
These will be available as an accesoires pack along with the rest of the Pawnee

you did an extraordinary job with these miniatures both in terms of sculpture and historical research. well done ! :-*

Those lances are lovely, beautifully sculpted :-*

Thank you a lot guys!
The Pawnee have arrived and are available, btw ;D

They look superb ;D

Your indians painted look great.Lots of detail,animation.Keep going. :D Maybe someday you could do some Seminoles/Creeks.
Mark

Wow! These are amazing! Well done.

They look fantastic!
I do agree with Mark above... it would be great to see you produce some Seminoles, or any of the other Five Civilized Tribes (Seminoles, Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, or Creek), as many of those figures would be interchangeable (and there are so many gaming opportunities with those figures given the history and other figures that would work alongside your sculpts).
Great work... can't wait to get some.
Bill

Thank you a lot for your comments guys, I really apreciate it :)
I'd like to show you another paintjob, this time on the Crow warchief:

The hide clothing is a bit too dark for a Crow but it's a lovely paintjob nonetheless.

I would like to, but I can't promise anything ;). There is already so many plains tribes I'd like to sculpt (plus apache an others) that I fear to overstrech myself in the project ;D

I'll second that! The Cherokee would be great for Rev War in the South! :)
-
@Clearco... hey, in addition to the Pawnee you'll certainly see me buying some of those Apaches you're considering (even if you never do any Five Civilized Tribes) likely thru Badger Games. Keep up the great work!
-
Pawnee received this week.
Highly recomended. :)
-
Seminoles and Creeks would link your range to the whole First Nations front, from north to south, for the years 1800 to 1850 by and large. I think this is going to be popular, given the new version of Musket and Tomahawk going into the 1812 conflict. I have a Seminole-Creek wars project with Sharp Practice myself.
And the Blackfeet, Crows and Pawnees project with Gringo40 Jackson's Proud Boy militias and rangers are in the frontline too.
All so exiting !
Philippe
-
Just to add that my Pawnee arrived too; very swift despatch and gorgeous figures!
-
Thank you all for your nice comments & suggestions and for letting me know that the figures have arrived safely :) I'm eagerly waiting to see some painted examples ;)
For that matter I'm working right now on a painting guide for the Pawnee similar to the one I made for the Crow. It will take me a couple of days yet (specially for ilustrations) but I hope you will find it usefull :) I will for sure share it here when it's done
-
Clearco
I would be interested in knowing where you take your knowledge of the warrior societies from. The rules by Chris Peers which are the most documented for Plains wars IMO, indicate only two brands: contraries and no-flights.
Also I read in Paterek's Encyclopedia of American Indian Costume that Pawnee medicine men wore the entire skin of a grizzly bear, their animal spirit! Come on, we cannot avoid such a miniature can we???
I'm waiting for my Comanche set ( from Hundred Nations- Conquest) so there WILL be an order for your Pawnees at least pretty soon...
Philippe
-
Hi!
@Pallard: Thank you for your words! I'll happily provide you with all the Pawnee you need ;)
Chris Peers rules are great, I own them since several years :) The information I have about Pawnee warrior societies comes from the vast work from James R. Murie, an etnographer who was, in fact, half Pawnee. You can find his work "Pawnee Indian Societies" in a huge work called "Societies of the Plains Indians", published by the American Museum of Natural History :)
In fact, most of Pawnee warrior societies officers who carried a lance were no-flight warriors, as they would stick them to the ground to make a stand, like warriors from other tribes made with sashes (or also with lances, like the Crow Foxes or Lumpwoods). The Crazy Dogs wishing to Die did the same with a stake tied to the feathered string they carried tied to the penis ;D I made such a figure, btw lol. The only contraries Murie mention among the Pawnee are the Children of the Iruska, but they didn't seem to have had a specially glorious performance in battle ;)
Also I read in Paterek's Encyclopedia of American Indian Costume that Pawnee medicine men wore the entire skin of a grizzly bear, their animal spirit! Come on, we cannot avoid such a miniature can we???
Well said! ;) I'll see what I can do... There is also an actual photo of an Arikara man (by Curtis) also wearing the entire skin of a grizzly, I suppose that couldn't be so different, given that Arikara and Pawnee were relatives...
Speaking of Pawnee...I finished the painting guide, I hope you find it useful!

Here it is: http://clearcominiatures.blogspot.com/2020/12/painting-pawnee.html
The job was harder than in the case of Crow, there is no so much information or items in museum that are clearly Pawnee...
Speaking of which, I'd like to remind you of the Crow painting guide, in case someone is interested :)

Thank you for the information.
I am quite confused about the problem of specific Amerindian tribe dressing from the eighteenth century on. First because I studied eastern forest tribes and found that many were very much mixed. The great lakes villages, even the Ohio valley ones, had people from many different tribes even if nominally Huron or Delaware, to mention only two nations. The Iroquois went so far as having captive villages, these people in the Indian society being reborn-relatives much more than captives in fact, and fully relied on for war. So if you want a realistic war party you'll probably have different looking warriors indeed.
For later on the Plains, I recall a passage in the memoirs of John Tanner, who was an Ojibwa captive turned warrior for decades, saying that once he subdued an Indian and they had to shoot their tribe name to recognize each other as allies and not enemies. That is in clear an Ojibwa could not recognize an Assiniboine from a Sioux!
So I lost faith in my Hollywood souvenirs of scouts recognizing warriors' tribe from hundreds of yards away!
Of course Pawnees seem specific, but even them compared to Osages for instance...
Philippe
-
Assiniboine are Siouans linguistically, so they could be looking like Dakota Sioux. But the Ojibwa are Algonquian speaking people and quite different. Both hunters couldn't recognize each other as different from a Sioux common enemy!
-
Good point, and a very interesting one! :) On the Plains there were a fair amount of admixture, people marrying into each others tribes, being adopted or captured, or being from mixed blood. Looting, trading and exchanging presents between tribes made it also difficult adscribe someones to a tribe according to his belongings BUT tribal style *tendences* did exist, even if they weren't applicable for every individual. It also depends on the area of the Plains and on the time.
Osage looked indeed very similar to Pawnee, and these to Iowa, Otto, Ponca, Kansa, Sauk and Fox (eastern Prarie peoples). There are some minor details or tendences (certain items of dress, use of colors, adornments) that sometimes enable to tell individuals of these tribes apart even if the general style is similar, even if that doesn't has to work always.
In a similar fashion, a Crow warrior *could* be hardly distinguishable from a Nez Perce or from some Blackfoot or Shoshone, and they all share a sort of cultural area, so to speak, that englobes part of the northern Plains, the Platteau and part of the Rockies.
At some point I doubt someone could tell a Teton Sioux from a Cheyenne and these from a Arapaho apart (and some southern Cheyenne from some Kiowas, etc.), but again, they lived relatively close to another in the same area, were allies and had the possibility of sharing items, customs, etc. very intensively.
I would say it depends on the individual and the time...When the century went on (specially with the advent of the reservation period and the mixture of tribes) some tribal styles became homogeneous and warriors tended to grow more and more indistinguishable from another. Some later photos show Pawnee warriors with the hair parted in the middle, two braids and a hairpipe necklace of whom you would think they are Cheyenne (but I doubt someone would think they are Crow ;-))
That also occurs at earlier times: if you look at pictures of Plains warriors in the 1830's (Bodmer, Catlin, Miller), Crow, Blackfoot, Hidatsa and Arikara (and in a minor extent, Mandan), all neighboring tribes at some extent. share a common style too and sometimes it's hard to tell them appart (even if differences exist). Others again, like Pawnee or Osage and other Prarie tribes, stand clearly appart from the rest. According to some scholars, some tribal styles apearead after these days (with the growing availability of trade goods), and some others got blurry 30-40 years later, so there is a certain narrow window, say roughly between 1840s-1870s when it could have been a bit easier to distinguish peoples (with exceptions, as always).
Personally I suppose it was always easier to distinguish a group of people than an only individual though, because there were more probabilities of seeing several „tribal“ characteristics in the group, even if some warriors didn’t look so “characteristic” at all. In the case of an only warrior is a bit of a hit or miss, I think.
In the case of wargaming and, above all, sculpting wargame figures, I think a compromise has to be made and tribal tendences have to be acentuate so we can distinguish both forces on our tiny battlefields. With wargame figures it happens all the time, almost in every „wargame-able“ age: some characteristics are exagerated so the forces look a bit more homogeneous (I'm looking at you, Romans!) or at least easier to tell appart from another. There are lots of examples in wargame figures because so it’s easier to handle and it somehow pleases esteticaly, even if it’s maybe a tad less accurate.
In my case, I want to portray warriors who „clearly“ belong to a tribe, because I think there are enough generic Plains indians figures out there that can be mixed with mine to add variety if someone wishes so, but not enough figures that you can identify with a certain tribe (appart from Conquest-now-Warlord magnificent Comanche). In doing so, I try to furnish every figure with at least one element that yells „Crow!“ or „Pawnee!“ but keeping things as realistic as possible :) . I was inspired by the way Plains Indians portrayed themselves in ledger drawings, where they often acentuate some characteristics so the people seeing them quickly identify who the enemy are (Crow wear almost always the pompadour hairstyle, Pawnee have high-cuffed moccasins and normaly more or less roached hair, etc.). I started making figures that looked like the Crow portrayed by Catlin and Bodmer in the 1830’s and quickly realized, most people wouldn’t identify them as Crow, so a compromise was to be made. It’s the same in case of Pawnee: some wore long hair, some hadn’t the roach, but when people think of Pawnee, they think of the roached warriors on „Dances with Wolves“ 😊
Whops, my digression turned out very long, sorry about that! :P I just like the subject :)

Tis good that you like your chosen subject. Do not apologize for that.

And enlightening it is! Thanks a lot.

Absolutely, a cracking post!

Thank you fellows! :)
Btw, inspired by the discussion, I have been working on some figures who are generic enough to be used as Lakota, Cheyenne or Arapaho, among others and can be used to booster your tribal forces. After that I plan to sculpt some proper Cheyenne with clear Cheyenne features ;)
Moreover, I'd like to show you some more painted Crows, this time a belt wearer of the Big Dog society and the sash wearer of the Muddy Hands, painted by Field Factory:

Among the Plains Indians the wolf was often associated with scouts (scouts were often named "wolves"). Some of them even wore the skins of wolfs while scouting. The Crow chief Plenty Coups tells about Crow scouts:
"Then they came in, looking exactly like wolves. Each had mud ears, and his face, arms and body were painted with mud that dries whitish-gray, exactly the color of a wolf's hair. Thrown over their shoulders and backs were wolf skins, with heads (...)"
From: Frank B. Linderman: Plenty Coups- Chief of the Crows. University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln, 1962. Page 67.
This figure is generic enough to be used as a scout for several Plains tribes
-
I like him. :)
-
Me too. :D
Can we expect a pack of scouts????? :D
-
Great work this Wolf-Scout figure.
Same question as rumacara, a pack of Scouts in the making?
-
There will be another wolf scout for sure :) I'd like to sculpt some scouts in US Army service but there are no concrete plans yet.
Meanwhile I have sculpted some things:
First, a "multi-purpose" brave. He is simple and versatile enough to be used as a member of several tribes. There will be two packs of these: one with traditional weapons, one with guns.

I hope you like them!

I like them very much. :-*
-
Your work just keeps getting better and better.
Appreciate you keeping this thread updated and showing the WIP photos.
Interested in seeing the U.S. Army Scouts.
Really looking forward to Badger Games getting everything in-stock. (My order has now jumped from just the Pawnee sets to include Wolf Scouts and Cheyenne when they are available.)
-
Thank you guys, I'm very glad you like them! :)
I haven't posted in a while so I have lots to show ;)
First of all, Pawnee warriors painted by the fellow at Field Factory :-*

I like them very much!!
I have finished the first pack of "general-purpose" warriors:

As I'm specially proud of these ones I want to make some photos of the individual minis so one can apreciate the details better ;)
I have made another wolf scout so I now have 2 of them (which was my plan all along, bwahahaha) :)

Really looking good!

Wow!!! :o :o
I missed those generic ones and the wolf Warriors.
They look great. :-* :-* :-* :-*
A must have for sure. :D
-
Superb, the wolf scouts are especially nice. :-*
-
The pair of Wolf Warriors is just stunning!
-
Thank you a lot guys! I'm really glad you like them :)
I have tried to paint some of the figures myself and I'm moderately happy with the results given that I hadn't painted anything in ages. The photos are still crap, as usual lol
I have to finish the bases but we can pretend they are fighting around in the middle of winter ;)

I will try to make some better photos at some point :P
-
Lovely stuff. Keep it up.
-
Wonderful to see them all painted and posed.
Your painting is out of practice?!
Can't wait to see some of your painted samples once the brushwork is up to your standard!
-
They look superb, so full of character :-*
-
Great painting on some great figures Juan. :-* :-* :-*

Thank you a lot guys! I'm very glad you like them :)
I finished the bases and did some more photos:

If I ever manage to take pictures that aren't blurry I'll be so happy lol

Just received an order placed with Juan. Beautiful castings. Great service... good communication throughout. Package arrived in Illinois from Spain faster than I can get packages from Illinois to Virginia these days. Looking forward to what's coming next. Thanks Juan.
-
Thank you a lot Bill! I'm very pleased your experience was possitive :) I hope I can provide you with more goodies in the future ;)
-
Very nice work :-* :-* :-*

Hi again fellow LAFers!
After some months of troubles at work and a general lack of inspiration and willingness to do anything, I'm FINALLY sculpting again and it feels GREAT.
Here is a Cheyenne warrior scouting around boxes (surprisingly the place at home with the best light).
According to Grinnell, Cheyenne were quite fond of tomahawks so he got one. Some elements like the long loincloth, dentalia choker and the metal plates ("conchas") attached to the scalplock were also very popular among Cheyenne.
I hope you like the figure!

Welcome back. Nice work (again) :)

Great to see you back at it. :-*

He looks good. Bet he'll look good all painted up too!

Gorgeous sculpts and the brushwork is superb!

Good to see you back at it... really like the figure.

It seems like I forgot to update with the last figures I made:
First, two packs of Cheyenne warriors:

Do you want some? :D
P.S: Fixed the pictures of the Cheyenne war chief :)
I want a set of those Cheyenne Braves, where from, and how much with postage to Lincolnshire, UK, please?
???

I just sent you an PM with all details :)
I forgot to add here on the thread, you can see what's available here, I update it regularly :)
http://clearcominiatures.blogspot.com/2021/06/product-catalogue.html
EDIT: I forgot another important thing o_o Starting Monday next week I won't be able to take any orders for at least a couple of months (real life stuff ;)) so if you want some Cheyenne, the moment is now :) (or at some undetermined time in the future, I guess ::))

Are you
still in business? Do you look update your blog.?

Hi!
Sorry that I haven't been around here for a while!
A short summary of the situation right now: Since I moved to France and started my new(s) job(s) I haven't had much in terms of free time, so I couldn't really focus on Clearco Miniatures. Sadly the shop is still closed (but I was able to send some packs over Christmas when I was visiting home).
My goal is to reopen as soon as possible, but right now I lack the time and energy it would take, so the whole thing is in "sleep mode" until I figure out how to continue.
Regarding the blog, I haven't updated it in a while because I have nothing to show yet. During summer I began some very random minis, just for practice sake, but I didn't finish them. After that I hadn't any time for sculpting until January, when I began trying to sculpt a bit every week. It's going better now, in fact I'm working on some Cheyenne, but is going rather slowly.
I don't know if I gave a clear answer, but I'd say Clearco Miniatures is sleeping for a while rather than dead ;)
-
Hi
Why not stay in France AND produce miniatures?

Hi
Why not stay in France AND produce miniatures?
Philippe
Yes, yes, that's the idea :) The thing is that all Clearco Miniatures' stock is still in Spain and I haven't had the chance to bring it here yet. Besides, I'm not fully stablished here and will surely have to move houses (or cities!) a couple times yet, so I'd rather not have lots of things with me for a time. I'm waiting until my personal situation is a bit more stable so I can begin moving the minis on a full scale :)
Then there is the thing with my caster...I'm very happy with him and his work, but he is located in Spain... o_o
I'm toying with the idea of bringing maybe some packs after the summer so I can fullfill some orders...I'll keep you updated :-)
*On a possitive note, I'm making everything I can in order to sculpt a little bit (almost) every week and have some minis that could be finished relatively "soonish" :D
-
Looking forward to see the new sculps Juan. :)
-
Well, once you're settled and have new stuff, I'll certainly order more.

Hi!
I haven't updated in a while because I wasn't able to sculpt for a long time. Luckily, I've been on track for a couple of months now and I finally have something to show.
First of all, I finally finished the d*mn horses, so I count on start working on the first mounted figures soon:

I have also made another pack of generic warriors. These ones have more modern guns than muskets and some wear trade shirts, so they can be used in latter periods too:

Then I continued with the Northern Cheyenne and their warrior societies:

Red-Shields or Buffalo, with buffalo headdress, buffalo shield, lance and hairpipes pectoral. I really like this one :-)

Thanks!! I wasn't aware you are the same Andy, nice to see you here :)
Great! I'm working on the mounted Crow right now, I hope to finish some soon!

Hi!
I did finish some new figures ;)
These are versions of the Crow warrios on foot I made at the begining (PW-01 for those familiar with them ;-) )
I had forgotten how much work goes into these figures, with the many ornaments and the hair extensions on the back, but I'm really happy about how they turned up :-)

Remarkable work :o

Those are stunning sculpts! I love the fact that you have focused on tribal specifics rather than just doing 'generic' Plains warriors. Now start working on some mounted Cheyenne, if you please! Thank you! :D ;)
