The Golden Fleece(Finished 29/3)
« on: 24 March 2013, 07:11:45 PM »
I was asked by Karl at Crooked Dice to make a wee objective marker for a game of 7th Voyage. He was looking for something to represent the Golden Fleece from Jason and the Argonauts film.

I struggled to find any pictures of it from the film, until Karl sent me something. This is what I came up with before I seen that pic(I thought I'd seen something similar somewhere but I couldn't find the model of it!!)....



This is the pic from the film...



Do what I'm planning on doing is making a few of these. I'll make one on the tree and then make one or two smaller ones that can be moved beside the characters when they collect it in the game.

I've used wee bits of plastic tube to act a former for the tree, then sculpted GS around it for the branches. The armour version is just GS. I've still to sculpt the fleece over one of the lower branches....











Sorry for the crap pics!! :(

Looking good... Any chance of casting extras up for the rest of us plebeians?

pretty cool. You can make the fleece bigger. There are rather large sheep around. And, Chrysomallos was a son of Poseidon and a half god ram  ;)

I'm afraid these need to be ready for Salute next month, so there wouldn't be time to cast bud!! I don't think the version with the armour would cast anyway, the horns would make it a difficult job!

Thanks for the nice comments guys!

Marvelous work!
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

All three versions are spot on, Andy.
Great work!

Karl should be a (very spoilt) happy chappy.

I like the rams face and horns. It really brings the fleece to life, rather than a shaggy rug. Beautifully sculpted.
