Literally homemade? They are beautiful. |
| robert piepenbrink | 16 Dec 2017 3:37 p.m. PST |
I agree. Very nicely done. |
| Cesar Paz | 16 Dec 2017 3:42 p.m. PST |
Absolutely! I have sculpted the originals with FIMO, then made RTV molds of them, dropcasted, assembled (in the case of cavalry figures) and painted every piece of this two small armies. Thanks! |
| Kropotkin303 | 16 Dec 2017 4:07 p.m. PST |
Absolutely fantastic. I'm a fan of drop-casting. Your figures are perfect. Great animation on the horses. Bravo. |

Lovely work! Simple, yes, but very effective. I'd be proud to own an army like that. |

Good anatomy on the horses. For some reason horses are hard to sculpt correctly. Very nicely done. Dave

I agree lovely figures and excellent horses |
 Yellow Admiral | 17 Dec 2017 2:56 a.m. PST |
You should be proud. Your figures leave out a lot of the hyperdetailing that's become expected and commonplace in our hobby, but your poses and animation are spot-on, and your proportions are are actually better than many of the professionally sculpted dwarves on the market. Individual figures may be less breathtaking than many current purchased figures, but the results in large formations are delightful. It's projects like this that impress me most in this hobby. This is scratch-building taken to it's furthest extent. How can this hobby ever die if craftsmen make miniature militaria using nothing more than commonplace materials, sweat and inspiration? Please post more photos as you make progress. - Ix |

Quite inspiring. Their very simplicity is very attractive. |
| foxweasel | 17 Dec 2017 4:04 a.m. PST |
They are lovely, you should be proud of your work. They remind me of the boys from Pippin Fort. Thanks for showing them. |

Beautiful figures, I would love to own an army of these miniatures. You are a very talented indidivdual & I agree your horse sculpts are superb. |

Absolutely brilliant. Love the simple lines |
| arthur1815 | 17 Dec 2017 2:52 p.m. PST |
Very attractive figures with good proportions and ideal for painting in different colours for ImagiNations armies.
You have a great talent! |

Fantastic work Cesar and thanks for the Flickr access. More power to your elbow. |

Quite astonishing, beautiful in their simplicity. |
| Pauls Bods | 24 Dec 2017 5:25 a.m. PST |
Absolutely stunning!!! Are the guns homemade as well? |
| Cesar Paz | 28 Dec 2017 5:53 a.m. PST |
Thanks again for your comments and interest. Yes, guns are also homemade: I modeled each carriage individually with balsa wood, card and aluminium wire. For tubes and wheels, I sculpted the masters, made moulds, and casted the pieces using a twoo part epoxi putty. |
| Clays Russians | 01 Jan 2018 9:12 p.m. PST |
You should market these, they are charming |

They look excellent.
Keeping the proportions realistic and using subtle detail is a clever way to create elegant and classic wargame figures. |
| Tyler326 | 20 Jan 2018 8:22 a.m. PST |
Have you thought about making these available to other gamers/ collectors? I am sure you would get s great response. These are great looking figs and I second the horses. They are spot on . |
| hyena123 | 11 Sep 2019 9:39 a.m. PST |
Very impressive figures, will have to try it out myself.
There are quite a few types of FIMO, what one do you use for your figures ? |

I also love the simple basing without any extras. Good work. They look wonderful. |
| Cesar Paz | 02 Oct 2019 8:33 a.m. PST |
hyena123: I use FIMO soft. I created a photo album with the step-by-step modeling sequence of some simple 30mm medieval figures. If you are interested, you could find it here: link |
| Sebastian Palmer | 05 Oct 2019 6:21 p.m. PST |
Wow! Really cool project. Great looking figures, with a unique look/style. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing |

Thanks for the 'step by step' link Cesar, look forward to any new figures you do. |
