And here is the new muses 2020 Kickstarter campaign
During the previous campaign two models were chosen by the pledgers.
These were : Lady Godiva and The mirror
The first was sculpted in 3D by Kristina Katunina (painting by John Collier)
and the second in traditional sculpture by Benoît Cauchies (painting by John William Godward)
I hope you like these two ladies

Excellent concept and sculptures! Good luck to your campaign!

Excellent work I especially like Lady Godiva. Do you happen to have any photos of the print or a parts breakdown as I would be great to see those before pledging to the kickstarter.

Coming from Coventry the Lady Godiva is a subject close to my heart and reminds me of the bronze statue that used to be in the centre of the city centre (and still might be). Nice touch was that when the clock in the centre overlooking the statue chimed on the hour a figure of 'peeping Tom' popped out much like a cuckoo clock. Even the locals used to pause to watch on a Saturday morning

@Teapot Miniatures: Thank you for your kind comment

@Gary: I will be able to show these pics soon

@DaddyO: I would be really curious to see that ... I hope there is a video

Here you go GM

Excelente y espectacular esa Lady Godiva; espero poder comprar una copia cuando esté a la venta.
ENHORABUENA POR ESA FENOMENAL IDEA

Lady Godiva looks as though she is from a Romantic Pre-Raphaelite painting, it has that grace and elegance about it.

Yep, based on a work by John Collieer, 1897 (in Coventry Museum). The town's statue in Broadgate (where the clock is) was by William Reid Dick in 1949.


Wiki's acount of her is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Godiva

There are many other interpretations, including:

That's beautiful!!
thank you Neil for this piece of history and femininity

Booooaaaah - painting "The Mirror" is going to be a real challenge! Sooo much see-through muslin fabric ...

Just a bit pity that the head position was changed - only minimally, but still, since it is no longer aimed at the mirror and the interaction is lost.

The manufacturer should correct this before the figure goes into the course ...




Cheers

Who was the painter ? Mucha ?

Yes, agree... I think that was also Nap's point.

John William Godward, 1899

Well, the old Victorians already had a little more "porn" - read something about "Bertie" Windsor and his friends ...

And his (in)famous chair?

Aaach, the boy just had imagination and was a real connoisseur.

A child of his time....
