Hi guys, here's a pic showing the box content, I'm very pleased, everything has crisp detail. I will add three arrows to the shield.  Best regards ! AG. |

Great casting! And finely moulded details, I guess, it will be a real joy to paint!

Arrows to the shield?!?!? How brilliant... go for it buddy! I really can't wait to see all of this. Did I ever tell you how much I love Denmark and they have a lot of cool viking stuff?  |

This is going to be one animated bust!! I was thinking of an axe cracked into the shield when I first saw your original posting, this however would be too bulky and detract from the scene. Adding arrows is a fine and well thought out idea G!
Let the painting commence!!

Thank you for following this one guys ! We go back in time now since I finished my mid 13th century knight, and we arrive in the 9th century with this Viking bust in 1/12 scale. First I wanted to fix this :   Best regards ! AG on cruise control ! |

Today I assembled the arms/hands with CA glue and metal rods. I applied Milliput White for a smooth finish of the wrists/sleeves.  Such fun ! Best regards ! AG |

Guy, you are comfortable with Miliput white?? Any tricks in there?? I have sculpted "tons" of figures and tried out lots of stuff, but the most uncomfortalbe sculpting compounds for me were Miliput white and silver grey. How do you achieve your effects??

Frank, I'm not that experienced in sculpting and honestly I never tried something else but Milliput. I first used the green Milliput but other sculptors (on Historicus Forma on Armorama) recommended the Milliput White Extra Fine.
The White works a lot finer and can be smoothened easier. I use water and fine soft brushes.
I really want to try to give sculpting another try this year and I look forward to get advice from guys like you, experienced sculptors.

Water and fine brushes? Exactly my tools. But I cannot get the white come out as I would like it. And the weidest is, no problem with Miliput standart grey (which might be the green Miliput you mentioned) and all other sculpting compounds I use. Really ridiculous! But as long as we can use other stuff this is not sooo important. Any YOU BET that I am VERY CURIOUS about you tackling sculpting. As an natural born artist you should have no real problems with it and I will call you Master. Hell, please start soon!

Frank, don't expect the impossible mate, I like sculpting but I'm not talented at all. I just want to create something from A to Z and have something unique (ugly can be unique too).
Tomorrow it will be Viking day, I received my new superfine brushes and I can barely wait to smell the paint fumes !

We will discuss your sculpting efforts when you post them! I think they will be fine (gulp, when you sculpt as you paint I go on and collect stamps..., hehe!).
Can´t wait to see the paint coming to the Viking!

No paint added yet, I decided to first assemble most parts of the bust, shield, helmet and spear weren't glued on. Here and there I applied milliput to fill up small seams.  Best regards ! AG. |

After the primer is on, you see the crispness of the figure and all the details sculpted in! This will be a colour fest and I am even more curious!

Hey guys, I didn't prime the bust yet, this is just the resin, it's nicely detailed.
