Luo warrior riding cattle 8

I bulked up the headdress and cleaned up the figure.


Mendi 2

Some cork was used to make up the elevated groundwork. Wall putty was added.


Le Cimier Eleanor

The figure was epoxied to a base for stability. The rear of the seat was also epoxied. The figure was then polished with a rotary tool. The right arm was repositioned after careful filing.







Kato Kiyomasa 3

I removed the helmet to work on it. The right arm was repositioned to hold a war fan in a more natural position. A new spear was fabricated from brass tubing.



PNG Cyclist 5

More repositioning of limbs. I am sculpting a pig tied up and perched on the back of the bicycle.








Ethiopian rider 2

I changed the legs and resculpted the baggy pants. The arms were also repositioned.



NHD PLO bagpiper

I discovered that this figure was meant to represent a bagpiper of the PLO, as given in a Osprey MAA book.

I drilled out and pinned the head to the body slightly angled forward. Looking at the pipes, I decided to replace one of them with a nail, and drilled out the others to take thin wires for strength. The tops were also drilled out as these pipes were hollow.




All the tubes were epoxied in place. The bagpipe was filled out with more putty and the right arm was twisted to hold the pipe correctly.

the head and neck was resculpted.



The waist was filled out and more chin was added to the face. A bit of hair was added to the back of the head.
