Old Unfinished Sculpts

[ZeroTwentythree]

Or attempted sculpting.

More old & unfinished projects discovered as I dig through old boxes o' stuff in the attic. This was a good find, as my mind has been into the idea of trying my hand at sculpting again lately, as I think it would be fun to create some unique figures for the current project I recently started posting here. These are all pretty old. But I also haven't sculpted any minis in a very long time, either.



This one was intended to be an unarmored samurai being taken by surprise. I think this was only the second or third attempt at sculpting from scratch. He's a bit smaller, more like the old 25mm figures than bigger "heroic" scale guys. Never finished the bottom half nor his sword. A lot of things wrong with the sculpting, but it's kind of tempting to finish the rest & paint it up, since it's mostly done anyway.






Next is a set of 5 ratmen, intended to be roughly in scale with the original range of GW Skaven sculpts, but with an intentional variation in heights. Obviously I never got very far with them. Not sure they're worth finishing, except maybe for practice.





And lastly, the third of a set of vulture men I had been working on. The other two are finished, and one was even cast in metal. After the second one was cast (not by me), I cut this guys arms off and started working on repositioning them so he would also be suitable for casting too. I can't remember my intentions -- if I meant the arms to stay separate or if I was going to permanently attach them -- but as it stands, they could be cast separately and be glued on if I finished the hands & other details. But I don't have much reason to get him cast now, so a bit irrelevant anyway. I might just finish & paint this.

I for one would like to see them finished. It would be a shame to see all your efforts to date go to waste. That vulture man certainly looks interesting.

VERY COOL STUFF! The Vulture Guy is OUTSTANDING! Keep up the WONDERFUL WORK!

I'll most likely finish the samurai & vulture, but not sure about the ratmen. I might try sculpting their heads separate, and if they turn out OK, then I will put them on the bodies and finish the rest of them.
