Outstanding art work Adrian.
The level of detailing that you've achieved explains the time taken.
Very, very well done.

Cheers,

If possible I would like it more than once.

One word: wow!!

Jason

Thanks everyone. Humbled by your responses. So glad you like it. Makes up for many a frustrating moment...

This project took most of my available modelling time of the past 3 years or so. I estimate it must be 200 to 400 hours, much of it research....but I didn’t keep track and quite frankly I am not sure I want to know!


Thanks again, everyone!

Cheers,
Adrian

Adrian, this is totally, utterly superb.

fantastic work, i love each and every bits of it !

Planning, composition, execution are perfect. Subtle and amazing at the same time! Great, just great!
It does however, demand an equally perfect execution of a figure, which I'm you'll pull up!

Benny

Amazing work!!

That is beautiful and I especially like the segment of graffiti on the outside wall. Fantastic attention to detail! Regards Pete

The thought, talent and vision that went into this base is exceptional. I can only hope and wait for the finished scene that fits with this great piece.

Wayne

As long as your enjoyment is there I am sure so will be your enthusiasm.

look forward to seeing the next project.

Thanks a lot guys! It helps me stay motivated for this project.

Next up are potted plants and the figure itself, which will be a conversion....to be continued.

Adrian

Well, how time flies. Already 2.5 years ago that I finished the base and started on the figure.
This project is turning into a true modelling ordeal. There are times I wish I never started it...oh yes, it’s my hobby...

Anyway, the plan to convert the figure was not good enough. It was an old Elisena figure of a seated roman lady, but it turned out to be historically inaccurate and somewhat dated and ‘cluncky’. So I started the brave plan to sculpt my very own figure! How hard can it be...?

Cutting a long story short, sculpting is very hard indeed and I made a lot of mistakes, U-turns and re-starts. But, slowly, I think, the end is in sight!
Here is where I am.... to be followed up shortly, as I have momentum now!

The head is a resin copy of a 3D printed head, kindly printed to the right scale by Reedoak (I copied it in resin, saving the original for fear of messing it up), hands will be from Verlinden as are the feet, but modified. The rest is Magicsculp over a wire frame, and lead wire for the waist band.

Cheers

The moment I saw the wrinkles and folds of her dress I had an idea what you are talking about. Wonderful result - a lovely face and a perfect pose as well.
