Very cool idea - I wish I was into Napoleonics because that perry Travel set is an ace idea. I wonder what 'scale' the boards are?

Agreed, I wish i liked napoleonics enough to enjoy the game itself. If they did an agincourt version I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

It's certainly smaller than the figures, Closer to 3mm I think, But I don't think it really has a consistent scale.

Great paint on that small mini and the banner is fantastic too.  Not sure my eyesight is up to that.

Cheers. After a few more of these I'm sure my eye sight won't be either.

The painted one has come out very nicely

I started a new sculpt tonight. 4 hours in and I hve this. HE's lacking forearms ,a head and a weapon, but I'm fairly happy with him so far. I wanted something more dynamic than the last two spearmen so this chap is going to be running forward , sword in front of him ,shield held in his off hand.

Great sculpts. Nice work on the faces especially.

[Jagannath]

Cheers chaps!

Not done yet, Tonight was D&D so I had to stop making toy soldiers to play with...toy soldiers.
HE's got his soon to be sword and shield (without detailing) in place. I'm worried his sword hand is WAY too big and may trim it down when i have him all together. If his hair makes his head bigger it may balance it out and not be too bad.

I'm pretty happy with his pose, like he's running forward, shielding himself from arrows as he charges into the enemy or makes a desperate dash for cover.

(p.s. Forgive the low quality pics, my phone HATES taking pictures of small stuff , especially stuff that's completely green and shiny.)

Double post.
HAIR!
Tiny eye straining hair!

This is very good sculpting!
Do you use a proportions/scale chart when sculpting?

[Jagannath]

Dude - he's excellent.  It's a style of minis we desperately need in 15mm too, bit more dynamic. Lovely job.

Cheers. I don't , I generally just try and keep the figure in proportion with itself, or at least looking like it is. I do alot of life drawing so that helps.

Very kind, thankyou. I am pretty happy with him.

I decided to do something new and make a small youtube 360 video of the sculpt. Because of his pose there's no good angle to get a picture from. He's done now, i decided to sand down the wire forming his sword base rather than sculpt onto it, so i could keep his sword relatively slim and realistic looking.

Is it orc time? I think it's orc time.

I have this guys body all done but I wanted to get feedback on his face. Does it look monstery enough for people? I know i want a pointy goblineque nose, but what do you lot think?



Also yeah.....I need a camera if I'm gonna keep doing this, because trying to get anything near a clear photo of this face with my phone was a nightmare.

I like it. humanoid but not quite human.
I never though of sculpting faces that way. I might give it a go for some practice. I've been wanting to do some more sculpting but have been lacking enthusiasm.
