Hi!
Thank you a lot for your interest and your kind comments!!

I actually managed to sculpt a bit again. I have thought that I´ll concentrate in the figures with the characteristic pompadour hairstyle and try and finish one first set of five of them instead of making two sets at the same time. I think it´s the only way for me to finish something and remain motivated that way

Anyway, here are the minis I´ve been working at:





The archer has leggings out of trade cloth (the head is not glued yet, hence the weird stance  ). The other one will be an experienced warrior, hence the warshirt. He will carry one big knife-bladed club. It´s not easy to see on the pictures, but the warshirt has beaded pannels and scalplocks (and more to come   )


Moreover, I´ve been working on the other sculpts for making them more "castable": filling gaps and stuff...That was also the reason I´ve put aside the Crow warriors with older styles, because of the many gaps they have with all these fluted pendants and stuff...It took me down as I realized I wasn´t unable to cast them so I gave up sculpting these figures like one year ago...Until now, when I have realized that I can keep sculpting the less problematic ones  
My plan is to make one first test-casting on resin with the first five figures and make the mounted versions out of it :-)

I've been watching this as you've progressed with them and thought what a good job you were doing but today I tried to sculpt some cactus, basically 1 central stalk with 2 side bits, not worrying about texture, just getting proportion and a relatively smooth surface.
I now realize what an amazing thing you are achieving  - well done and keep at it because you are doing something amazing.
Cheers
