Sculpting Plains Indians (Mounted Crow)

[Hu Rhu]

Really, really good. 

[Mason]

Brilliant!
 

[Clearco]

Thank you all! I'm very glad you like it 
Now I have the first five basic warriors finished!
I will continue with some experienced warriors, so expect
some warshirts, warbonnets and the like

[Clearco]

Today nothing so fancy, but useful: the first shields for the figures, based on authentic Crow shields:






I have updated the blog at last with information about the last mini I sculpted and a pair of pics of the process:

[Malamute]

Very good 

[Clearco]

Thanks, Malamute!

Here are the first 5 warriors' set ready. I now have to buy silicon and resin to make a master cast and then to look for a professional caster :-)

[Malamute]

I use Griffin Moulds for mould making and casting. They are a well respected company and could easily produce your master and production moulds and cast the figures.

The only issue for you is they are based here in the UK.

Ps, I love your tepees?

[Mason]

Brilliant!
Add another fan to your Teepee Fan Club too.

With the risk to repeat others, another fan of the teepees.
The first set looks briliant.

[Clearco]

Thank you a lot, people

I made the teepees following the real process, but at scale I made a paper template and moisted it in a mix of glue and water so I could set it on the poles

@Malamute: Thank you for the advice! I don't really know what to do, since I'm having a lot of problems lately to get stuff sent to me from the UK  I'll try with casters in the region before and then IŽll see

 

[Vagabond]

Well count me in - that's 4 in your tepee fan club. I spent ages once making 2 bell tents, I made it look really difficult.
Well done with this.

[Clearco]

Thanks Vagabond! :-)

IŽve finished another one, an experienced warrior with associated regalia and...a stuffed bird on the head 





More on the blog, as always :-) : http://clearcominiatures.blogspot.com.es/2018/02/crow-warrior-9.html

[Hu Rhu]

Very nice.  I wish you luck in your casting endeavours and hoping that the end result is some of your wonderful sculpts for sale.

[Malamute]

Great sculpt.

[rumacara]

Very, very nice indeed.
