Hi at all...it is super hot here in Italy and we are ready for a small stop first of ROME 2020.
But I wanna show at all, our "last"? one of the series kids...

When we are using mobiles, laptop, or whatever electronic device there is someone in the opposite parts of the world that is working for it.
Sadly this precious minerals are in poor Africa Regions...

here the last childhood busts called "cobalt" sculpted by Mujin for Scientificmodels.shop

we are working to devolve an amount for an Etiopian school... we will see...

bust is in scale 1:10 and it will be release in September 2020

Excellent bust and I really appreciate the subject matter, being not the usual killing machine called soldier.

Another wonderful and emotive piece from this gifted sculptor - a glance at his FB page
shows some equally magical things to come - highly collectable in my view.

i have nothing against soldiers be clear... (soldier bust, airplaine, tank etc..).but i think that painting miniatures could be much more....is just windows to shows different aspects...

i have a great feeling with Mujin...all process usually starts from some books that i read, then i spent some weeks or month looking for references...trying to understand in what way i can use it in my company, and then i talk with Mujin to explain story and showing him what i am looking for...then his hands starts to makes it real... sometimes we win sometimes not...

Well in fact a cobalt mine in Katanga looked like this



And an european coalmine circa 10 years before like this



and stil in Katanga today ( it's not a child but a Chinese )


And you need 1 Ton minerals to get circa 25g

dear Mirofsoft you are missing a POINT...one BIG , enormous , huge point...i don't take care if it is cobalt, gold, arsenic or whatever...(i lived in south africa for a scientifi research and trust in me , situation due diamonds is a tragedy)...what I am doing is just put the painter and modeller in the other side of this hobby.
I don't give and i don't judge anybody if they like to paint an SS soldier...painting rifle or sword full of blood ...is a choiche....and i will accept...but i like to show also what there is behind what we decide is normal....is my personal point of view...

and this is the other side of our society...maybe we hate but we can't be blind forever

Excellent work and a very sympathetic idea. Obviously you can't capture every aspect of reality in a single bu (and if you could, I bet it would be nice to look at).

for sure...we wanna just open some doors on other subject in this world... that's it...everyone keep some aspects in his soul...

Another beautiful bust in a very special and wonderful series of busts!

Congratulations for your dedication and perseverance on bringing something new and some fresh air to this hobby!


Cheers!

thank you DOLF...we try to do our best....as usual... sometimes works sometime no..

Hi NAP... thank you so much...i have no presumption to teaching anything to anybody...but i have some years on my backpack and some experiences that i would love to tell, and this busts are working for me ...that's it...

What a superb sculpt, so thoughtfully posed and sculpted, something very different from the normal run of new releases, I really like it
Cheers
Jim

Excellent piece!
