Sculpting Plains Indians (Mounted Crow)

[Malamute]

Really nice. I love the gunstock war club

Wow!!!
I love those pawnee warriors.

Thank you a lot guys! I'm really glad you like them If don't run out of green stuff (which could happen every day now) I think I could be able to finish a couple of Pawnees' packs before we are allowed to go out again 

By the way, I just realized I didn't show the pieces of the finished Crow here so...

Thank you a lot, guys

Wow, that reminds me I have to update the blog some day 

Lockdown and specially homeworking have turned out very positive for my sculpting, so I have finished some more figures:
-Two Pawnee warriors:












That makes 4 Pawnee warriors, the first set:





Moreover I finished my first Crow non-combatant:






I have also finished all shields for the Crows, 4 hands with coup sticks and will be working on horses, more Crow civilians, hands with more modern guns and some more Pawnee

Honestly, I think the four Pawnee Warriors are the best of the bunch!
The clean, ready to do battle look combined with great posing makes them really cool.

More, more, more.

Those four Pawnee are brilliant. Hopefully you’ll be able to go into production at some (near) stage

[Malamute]

They are all excellent

Thank you a lot! I'm very glad you like them

It looks like next week we are going to begin the long way out of the lockdown so maybe I'll be able to send the minis to the caster at some point...Before I do that I have a question for you guys regarding the hands of the figures:
-My plan was that they are all interchangeable, so the hands and the arms are flat at the end, so everything can be glued to everything.
-I'm aware that that's not the strongest bond, specially when these are metal figures...

Here come the question...

-I was thinking about making some kind of peg on one of both ends so people only have to drill the other piece in order to be able to attach better both pieces to each other (instead of drilling both pieces and inserting a rod).
-Why would the peg be only on one of the two pieces? Why don't do I a peg on every arm and a hole on every hand, for example? Well, firstly because I don't know if I'd be able to do it in such a way that every arm fit to every hand. This kind of highly sklilled ingenieering is not what I'm good at :/ But this way you can decide which weapon goes with wich figure, then drill the hand so it fits the peg these figure has and don't bother about the hand could also fit another figure. Moreover, green stuff can not be drilled or sanded that easily and I fear destroying the hands in the process...(and believe me, I don't really want to sculpt them again  )


(I had also thought about making the pegs on the hand and the hole on the arms because hands are littler and maybe fiddlier to work with but the arms have still the skeleton-wire inside so I cannot drill them without causing a catastrophe )


What do you think? Is that system acceptable? Would it be helpfull that the arms have such peg or would it be an obstacle to people who just want to glue the parts straight out of the box? Thoughts?
Thanks!!

Maybe you make them so you can attach at the shoulder?
