Sculpting

[Martin555.]

Martin, you have quite a bit of skill. Keep going!

Thank you WDO,
I will try and do some sculpting in-between making my ship models.

 

[Martin555.]

A skill like that is like magic to me.

Thank you but I only just have a go at it and hope that it looks ok in the end.

 

[Martin555.]

Wonderful work showing amazing talent. I like your humourous interpretations too.

Thank you, I do have some funny ideas at times.

 

[Martin555.]

Brilliant Martin! So much talent!

Thank you Paul,

Not only a bad idea but all for naught. Touching any part of the bull with the off hand, much less grabbing the tail, is a big ol' Disqual! Nice humorous touch, though, and excellent work throughout. I don't know which I like more, the "serious" pieces or the wonderfully whimsical caricatures. All are beautifully rendered.

Hi Kilo66,
Thank you for your nice comments.

 

[Martin555.]

If these are your early attempts, then you have missed a calling ! these are lovely

Thank you Jimbo.
I must get around to making another sculpture.

 

[Martin555.]

Very nice work. I never used clay, I do sculpture on wood , Lime or Mahogany wood. I hope to start the clay modelling next year.

Here are some of my sculptures in process.

Hi,
I cannot compete with you when it comes to wood carving.
I have tried wood carving but I keep't on chipping off the wrong bits then binning it after many hours work.

 

[Martin555.]

I especially like your fighting horses and these plus the other characters show real talent. How long does it take to create one of these pieces?

I think I will stick to ships - My sense of proportion would end up with a horse too long or a head too small!!

Thank you peterG
It takes me any time from a week to two weeks.
The only time I scalp is when I am in the mood to do so.
As for your sense of proportion if you sculpt caricatures then proportion will not matter to much.

 

[Martin555.]

Dont stop now, you have a HUGE talent. Love them all!

Thank you for your nice comment.
Maybe I should get on with another sculpture soon.

Hi Guys,

I have been model making most of my life but this year after seeing a video on Youtube I decided to have a go at sculpting.
I thought You might like to see my feeble efforts.
It was interesting to do and I enjoyed making these, I will definitely continue with this sculpting in-between making my ship models.
I might even get better at it.

Fighting Horses.
