One thing I've found looking for work as a sculptor is that most companies want 28mm - which until last week is a scale I'd never tried! So I did a quick sculpt of a 28mm ronin samurai, got some feedback, cried a bit, and started again. Here's the second try, which I'm pretty happy with... ![]() Regards, Reaver |

First off, it's doubtless better than anything I could do. Now: Left arm longer than the right? Hips set too wide (For a man) apart? I assume you're going for 'heroic' scale rather than realistic scale, as your Ronin is 5 heads tall rather than 7 and a half heads tall. |

The arms are both the same length - it's sculpted over a proprietary armature. It actually looks a fair bit different in real life than it does in the pic! As for the out-of-proprtion, 'herioc' style - I'm afraid that's 28mm for you! Nobody wants figures that are absolutely accurate; instead they want figures that will fit in with their existing range. It's actually quite a tough lesson to learn, because I'm used to working from carefully measured anatomical drawings; all that goes out of the window at 28mm. Regards, Reaver |

More pics from more angles would help us see! He's awesome, really. The only complaint I would have is that the pose looks a little awkward and not very dramatic. But the sculpting is superb. |

ANd of course you had to produce this just after I finished reading a book on Samurai and Ashigaru and Ikko-Ikki and the like. How do I get one? ![]() |

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll keep working at 28mm. Van, sorry! but this sculpt's not getting cast - it was just for practice. But if Samurai, ashigaru and ikko-ikki are what you're after, I'd recommend Kingsford Miniatures They've got some lovely stuff! Regards, Reaver |

Pity - nice model that. Thanks for the link - I think - this might be expensive.... ![]() But I want to see more 'Reavers' too. ![]() |
