    Hello,
    I put here some of my current work.
    This is the Celtic hero Cù Chulainn depicted the day of his death, the day of Samaïn. I choose to represent this figure with this ambiguity of the immortal but with tragic destiny. The wall and the cart symbolise his rôle of protector of the city while the raven on the left ( avatar of Morrigan, who will be standing on his shoulder when Cùu Chulain dies) and the rope (remaining of the ship of Charon on the styx (so the celtic equivalent...) ) symbolise his destiny. So it's for the little story.
    The mini is made from Magic sculp and duro and everything is from scratch.
    On this picture are missing his equipment like cloak buckle, sword, ans other details, the shield and some stuff are still in progress
    I hope you will like it
    Sorry for the mistake with the english.
    Best regards,
    rémy

    Hi,

    very, very good so far!...your work is always a pleasure to look at! I´ve already wondered whether you did the broken chariot just as a stand alone piece...

    Thanks a lot for sharing,
    si.

    ps: will you be at this years "GD Germany"?

    The grey part received a coat a acrylic paint to show the little imperfections.
    I won't be in any GD anymore Simon because I'm feeling far from those competition spirit since a few month. I barely prefer to work on my own subject, for example I begin to put down some sketches about a version of the apocalypse.

    Hi,

    ...I can understand your reasons quite well...taking a look at your minis however would have been a reason for me to go...

    Excellent piece Rémy. Will it be commercial?

    It's not a commercial piece, too much work and rework to be viable commercialy speaking

    Gobsmacked at the detail and beauty of these parts...I wouldn't know where to begin.
    This kind of modeling always furrowed my brow...any way you could get into the nitty gritty of how you created it all? Wow...

    Bonjour Rémy,

    Un travail magnifique! J'aime aussi la mise en situation avec un mur et un chariot brisé. N'oublie pas de partager les photo de la pièce quand tu l'auras peinte.

    I feel that way every time he sends me in progress shots of the figures he does for Kings Road.

    By the way Rémy nice to see you posting on the Planet.
