beginning of my rough rider variant squad

[dwsculpts]

This is the first of my rough rider variant squad. I am using terror birds as mounts.

[dwsculpts]

I have two different bird variant and have sculpted a pair of rider's legs to fit the cadian style torso. I am working on a set of arms to hold a lance. I will be making copies in resin to fill out the squad.

That is a brilliant idea! I haven't seen many rough riders on riding birds yet. Good stuff and a lovely sculpt to boot! :D

[wittdooley]

Very, very cool.

[dwsculpts]

I have seen bird mounts done before, but these sculpts are my own work. I am having duplicates cast to fill out my squad. I am also thinking of making a set of fantasy legs. I don't know what army for fantasy I would do just yet. Anybody have any suggestions?

[dwsculpts]

I got my bird sculpts and rider legs back from the caster. I sculpted some arms and a lance tip for this one and need to send copies to the caster to have more arms made.I know the paint job is just table top quality. I have spent more time practicing my sculpting than my painting the last couple of years.

[dwsculpts]

the only things I did not sculpt are the right arm, torso and head.
The bird, the rider's legs, left arm, backpack, and lance are my work.

You are missing frilly, foppish, peacock style feathers on the caps of your riders! :D

They look great! Post more pics soon!
