I am still working my hand at sculpting figures. I am working on making a crew for a Starship with all the figures in on style of uniform. So I really liked the look of the Old "Battlestar Galactica" of the 80's look.
This is still a learning exercise for me and with each one I feel things are getting better. Still need to work more with faces and that is coming along with more time and practice. These figures are still worth gaming with as the crew and with some paint will look even better.
I did learned to use a larger gage wire for the legs I started with 28 gage and that seemed to bendy for the legs. I instead use 24 gage wire for the legs and still used 28 gage for the arms. the legs are much more stiffer now and I am very happy with the results.
So Here is my results so far compared with a GZG figure
I am going to make 8 figure for sure but I have plans for 12. I feel that would make for a very good size ships crew. I hope to have the other figures done some time very soon and have them painted in the colors of the 1980's Battlestar Galactica Uniforms. They should look great gaming on the table with all the adventures I have instore for them!
Nice work! Only the faces need some extra attention imho. Still, way better than my own sculpts.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I agree, they do look like they got hit with an ugly stick 😂 Yes I still need to work more on faces. With time and practice I will get there. I am very pleased with the rest of my results.
