1/4 Scale Western Cowboy

#1 Post by showboat »

Hi Guys

Commission 1/4 scale WIP of The man with no name by my friend Samuel Swanborough who is a talented young sculpter/artist from England. The piece is being sculpted in Monster Clay.
I would also just like to say thank you to GhostMurdock for some advice given about the sculpt.

Here are some WIP shots.

Thanks for looking.

Looks intriguing...a lot like the smaller version Troy sculpted several years back...

Thank you for the comment Resin Addict. By the way, thats a great paint job and a nice award to go with it.
Instead of a animaquette like Troy's, we are aiming for a realistic take on the man with no name.
Here is a WIP of the headsculpt.

Glad you guys like the sculpt. Just a small update.
Still a lot of detailing to do in the sculpt and offcourse the hat. We plan on adding some skin texture aswell. At the moment we are playing around with the position of the hat but its coming.

Thanks for the replies and kind words.
Regarding the kit, if there is enough interest anything is possible.
Was going to wait for a completed headsculpt before I release my next update pics but I have a big mouth and cant resist.
Here is a beautiful side shot of the sculpt.
