Press moulded or not you have still applied the armour in a very convincing way which is a mark of talent and good perspective as many pro sculptors have trouble getting things to have weight, proportion and look alive and you have achieved this I think with a little more practice you will be able to sculpt this no problem.

Press moulding is when you use the origanal figure press it into a moulding substance and once removed you put putty in the mould and apply the pattern to a mini your working on.

Thanks Oliver, it's a shortcut but not a straightforward one but it does add options for aspects that I'm not confident to sculpt or simply to save time on.

Fingers crossed I'll have an attempt with a dolly some day (oo err !)

And Richard there's something very satisfying about sculpting a convincing cod piece  lol

Simply splendid. Is the head all your own work, or a conversion Stuart?

Beautifull maximillian armor....and a new pictuere for me...looks like an early kurass or an infantry officer.
