Sho's 6mm sculpts

[David O'Brien]

Excellent that you get the riding positions right in such a tiny scale. Some manufacturers in much bigger scales have riders plonked on horses with legs straight down as if they have lost their stirrups.
I don't think my eyes have it in them any more to tackle this scale but I still have some Heroics and Ros British Colonials I painted up a very long time ago. I did give it a try as it is a great scale for big armies and being a General rather than a sergeant appealed more to me.
Good luck they are very nice figures

In beginning of november, if all goes well..
I will lose my pocket money then and must earn the food on the table by myself..

Am looking forward to November then. Will you do just one pose for each unit or multiple poses?

[Benno]

What other historical time periods or Napoleonic units are you planning to do btw?

[Sho]

By my concept I will sculpt all troops in 3 phases.
Phase 1. One main trooper in parade uniform (+ generals). For big battle wargamers (as I and David O'Brien are).
Phase 2. Command group and 1-3 additional troopers. For usual wargamers.
Phase 3. Troopers in campaign uniforms and diorama poses. For purists and demanding wargamers.

So at first only one pose to cover ALL revolutional and napoleonic powers and units. And preliminary command groups from second phase for some of them.
I want to cover 3 of my favorite battles at first: Borodino, Wagram and Waterloo.

If I have time left or have mood, I may be sculpt other gunpowder era units before napoleonic too.. and samurai of cource.

Samurais in 6mm? That would be great

[Sho]

But there are samurai in 6mm already.. Baccus do these.



Sorry, left holster missing.
I do this final photos mainly for discovering the possible mistakes.

I don't have proper equiptment and tools for sculpting guns, but guns are things that "must be". So I scale down the photos from Zvezda 1:72 gun for proper proportions and use freehand sculpting.

Here are the middle of process. Doll for artillery and skirmish figures are visible.. and draft horse doll too.

And that is cannon in 6mm? Amazing

[Peter]

That canon looks fantastic Sho! Congrats!

[MABO]

Really great your range already available. Not my scale but truly yours.

Last items for Borodino Russian army..
I lost 2 moulds because the air bubbles and therefore I'm a whole week behind schedule, but small infantry mould is ready and if next two small moulds will be successfully maked, the whole bunch will be on sale in next week.
