Ciao a tutti, Finally I've finished the "marinaio" and is ready to be casted. Have a look and tell me what you think. But before this, let me spend a couple of words on this project and the scope of this sculpture. I've decided to cast this piece and make 100 copies of it, still need to decide if in resin or metal. Once casted, the figure will be given away for 30...

Ciao a tutti, This post is a little teaser and is a something I want to start in my blog. I've decided to go back sculpting, not sure yet if one-of or commercial figures.

Anyway, I have to say that this bust is amazingly cast and sculpted, a full 10 for Young miniatures! I've only completed the front face, and finishing the helmet and life jacket. As a side note, I've used for the base...

I then decided to make the changes: Gloves where always black, not white. The tunic did not have the crimson edge, was all dark blue. The belt had a crimson fabric layer underneath which shown in a thin crimson line on both upper...
