Ciao a tutti,
The lovely Red is done, as well as the groundwork (still fresh) and the wooden trolley.
Just the wolf has to be painted, but you can see some subtle color variation given with the airbrush.
I've made the blood drops with something quite unusual, tiny pieces of my fibre glass pen.
Then used the paint and some white glue to make the final drop like part.
I'm...

Ciao a tutti,
Recently I've bought this gem from Maurizio Bruno, to celebrate is 200th scupture.
He took inspiration from Monge's drawing (see below)
The figure is something completely different from anything I've done in my life, has nothing to do with uniforms and research, just pure fun!
I've made a little change, to the sculpture, adding the hairs in front of...

The more challenging part is to sculpt...

Ciao a tutti,
My dear friend Francesco Simoncini (one of the greatest expert on hussars in the world!) has started a thread on figurinitaly on the 2nd hussar's regiment and among all the images he posted the one below.
He's Gaulthier de Rigny, a colonel in 1809, and I've decided to sculpta figure, using the same pose and proportion, basically trying to make a 3D version...
