Hi planeteers,

Here is another project I'm working on now for some time. I wasn't very satisfied about my first sculpture in the end. Wrong anatomy, clothes not very well sculpted . So I decided to use an existing model as an example to sculpt a figure and improve my skills. I chose for Pegaso's Brun de Villeret which is beautiful sculpted by master Maurizio Bruno.

I started with a wireframe and a head of Pegaso's headset and started adding Magic Sculp. Paying attention to the pose and anatomy. I made in progress pictures of the different stages. Well I let de pictures do the talking.















Continue in next post.....

This is were I'm at the moment. Still have to add a lot of details, re sculpt the lower part of the boots. And sculpting the hands and hat. Details are done with MS/Duro mixture. And some with milliput white.
If the quality of the figure will reach 60% of the original I will be happy.

Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome!

Cheers,
Marcel.

Well its looking really good ! I like the step by step progress and i am waiting to see more !

Good work AMICO !

Steve

Hi Marcel,

beautiful sculpture.
I will follow your post

Good start Marcel, if it is as good as your last figures I'm look forward to seeing it progress.

Roger.

Excellent sculpting Marcel, some spots to look again but great work.
For instance: i find the V shape under the knee to thick, and the upperside of the thorax to bulky.
But Marcel, i cannot sculpt so who i'm I to critice your work.

Marc

Looking really beautiful Marcel, compliments for your sculptor skill

Costas: I appreciate your comments, it's always a pleasure to see your sculptures or conversions. And I hope to see many more in the near future.

Steve: I always appreciate your input and advice!

Roger: I hope it will a good or better as the last ones

Marc: Thanks for the input, if you can or can't sculpt doesn't really matter. For me these kind of observations are really useful. I will have a look at these spots a will try to correct it.

Ken: Getting the anatomy right was one of the first lessons I learned from Andrea.

More progress at the end of the week.

Hi Marcel,

I tip my hat to you my friend. This is a superb bit of sculpting. You're doing a magnificent job and I'm sure once you've corrected some of the areas you mentioned, it will look amazing.

Insprirated work!

Keep us posting!

Cheers,
Balázs

Marcel,

Thanks for the SBS on sculpting, and quite impressive! I look forward to the painting!

Jim

Marcel, your doing amazing progress - Keep it up!

Tony, Balazs, Jim and Gordy thanks for the big compliments!

I had some time and made some changes to the left arm and started sculpting the hand. I also made some adjustments to the chest. Hopefully it will look less bulky in the end. Here some pictures:




Cheers,
Marcel.

Lately I was way too busy. And I wasn't much active here on the forum. The little free time that I had was spend on modeling. Hopefully this will get a bit better soon. Well, I made some progress on the figure since the last update. I did a nose correction on the damaged nose due to a fall from the table. Added the hat and placed it on a basework. I added more details and started sculpting the right hand. Now I have to refine some parts, add more details and buttons and create a sword.

Here are the pics, all comments are welcome!

Cheers,
Marcel.

Amazing....

.....how you guys can make something like this. Great stuff.

Marcel, great sculpting and nice work on the hand, I especially like the folds and creases in the jacket. Very well done.

Cheers Ken

I find this very well done Marcel! My sincerest compliments.
You have found a very natural looking pose with nice balance.
Very impressive to see it change from wire and putty to a real figure! I am sure there would be demand if you casted it.

Cheers,
Adrian
