Yesterday, I made the wire armature using brass wire and soldering iron and today I Milliputed the Austrian Grenadier Officer in the first three photographs. The process was speeded up by having a grenadier head/hat in stock.
With drying time such a figure will usually take up to two hours to complete.
I like figures to look anatomically correct for the 18th century, probably a reason why I prefer the old Charles Stadden, Suren , Hezzlewood miniatures but would add to that list the Perry AWI range and the Saxons Andy Stadden sculpted for Crann Tara.
I am not saying mine a perfect but they are as good as I can do at my advanced years.
I will do a post very soon on my approach to collecting 18th century miniatures.
