Spanish soldiers 28mm
« on: March 04, 2013, 08:27:31 PM »
Hi!
As Suber said, I´m working on spanish soldiers at the moment.
Here are a pair of pics, still very WIP  ;)




Let me know your opinions :)

Juan, that looks like a good start. 28mm I presume?
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Lovely, lovely :-* (Where's the 'applause' emoticon? :D)
I'm really eager to see where does this lead, but for sure I won't be disappointed ;).

Thanks Suber! Today I managed to do the boots and inprove the "armor" a bit but I had no time for more  :?


I forgot to mention that I plan to let these minis cast and sell them to anyone interested in  ;)

Excellent, I will buy some. I'll buy even more if you did variant carrying an AK-47, because a basic figure in Kevlar helmet, flack jacket and AK would make an immensely useful universal figure.

You are the first on the line, don´t you know?  ;)

Hey, that´s a great idea and it shouldn´t be very difficult to achieve! I think I´ll try it when I finish these soldiers...

While I don't want more 28 mm (selling 90% of mine off on Ebay over time) I have this weird want for Spanish soldiers from various eras so I would seriously consider buying some.

Gracias,

Glenn

Hi all!
Thanks for the comments!

I wanted to update today with pic of the first 3 finished bodies but... :(
On the morning I redid the vests because I wasn´t happy with them...and then again on the afternoon...At the end I have modified the vests so heavily that nothing of them remains after several hours of work...I have to sculpt them again  :'(

I hope the changes will be for good though, but now I´m a bit sad that I spent so much time for no results :?

No work is idle or worthless. That's just improvement! :)

You are right, Suber, although frustrating it's better to change things completely on the early stages of sculpting than realise at the end that it looks weird/like crap  ;)

Taking a little break on sculpting though, while I'm visiting another fellow spanish emigrants through Europe  ;) When I'm back in the Czech Republic I'll be totally fresh and sculpt better  ;D
