I never had an idea that someone will be interested to see SBS of my miniatures. These photos I made purely for my friends amusement. Adter a day of sculpting I had a picture of what have been done. Then I send it to my friends as a quest to recognise a person...
So "and was evening and morning - day one".
Mr.Manniken. I used pictures from Warhammer Monthly #32 for reference, inspiration and constipation.

The second day - the head and the hammer was made. Then i started with the right hand.
A forelock has a thin steel wire inside.

a portrait - this is still in process on that time

The next day come
There was much sculpting and less scratcting. I built (in the order of apperance) right shoe. Then right and left legs and then a dress.
You can see difference of colours in differtnt details. There were different clays/ A yellowish one I used from the very beginning is Quick-Wood. Legs and dress I sculpted using Sculpey and Super Sculpey mixing them in different proportions. If I need a smooth part I mix more Super Sculpey and less Sculpey. When I make something soft like cloth I mix more Sculpey and less Super Sculpey. For a fur I take a quarter of Super Sculpey and three quarters of Sculpey.

Next day or two.
The only comment - the black clay. This is another one epoxy putty. I don't like it too much but here I used it for the first time. The reason was - a smoothness of this putty and more smootheness after sandpapering and polishing.

One more day, some new details and finished model at last
