Viking/barbarian Sculpt

A quick WIP post. It started as an anatomy study and with the addition of pants and weapons turned into some kind of savage tribesman. Should be finished by next week. 

And merry Christmas -- if you celebrate it -- to all of you.

Finished sculpt: Necromunda Orlock

I'm happy with him. He isn't perfect but he is just about the best that I can do right now. I think I can get better. I'm going to try to get better. 

I've started the next miniature. 

It is mostly an anatomy study but I think I'll give him an axe and shield and call him a half naked Viking berserker.

Almost there! It's feeling like a marathon of fine details now. 

Not much to go --eyes and some details-- and he is all done. I'll up date again when it is all finished with more and better pictures. 

Whole Miniature Sculpt: Part 5

It's slow progress at the moment. Yesterday, after a week is slow work defining and sharpening details, I did the first bake. Half-an-hour at 110 C and it was all done. Last night I began adding details and making the loin cloth more dynamic. Most of the details are unfinished sketches so I can see what looks good and what doesn't. 

So it's more details, the hands and eyes before finishing sometime this week (I hope) 

Whole Miniature Sculpt: Part 4.

This is an up-date post. I'm still working away at it and it's coming along quite nicely. I had planed a long how to post on sculpting faces but found it very hard to get good pictures. I'll do such a post another time when I can really make it good. Sorry. I'm happy to answer any questions...  

This was a test face that I did just to make sure I still knew what I was doing. It worked out ok. Note that it is about half again 32mm toy soldier scale. About 8mm. Big but not huge. 

And this is where the orlock is at. I'm going to sharpen details and sort out a few issues before the first (terrifying) bake late in the week. Then it will just be the hands, details (chains, studs, armour plates etc) and the loin cloth to go. 

I think it may just turn out ok. What do you reckon? ;-)

Whole Miniature sculpt: Part 3

Ok, just a quick update date today. I'll try to do a more comprehensive rundown early in the week once I can get back to my regular computer.  

Arms and vest just about done. Needs more tidying before moving onto the head and hands. Debating baking it before moving onto those. 

You'll have all guessed what it is by now. I just hope that I'm doing the original Jes sketches justice. 

Whole Miniature Sculpt: Part 2

Not a lot of progress over the weekend, real life and fatigue got in the way! 

It's just been a matter of adding details and smoothing the FIMO out. Still more work to do there with things like finishing the belt and buckle. The arms are the next thing to start on before the jacket/vest. 

I'll post again later in the week.
