British army rifleman in battle order , 1916. Bronze version complete at last !

[Rob truscott]

Finally i got the cast version of my first world war infantryman finished . He was hard work to get out of mould and the metal was fiddly to clean up , even with sandblasting ! Weighs in at over 6 kg .

Hello Rob,
This is truely lovely work, all the details are superb, and the colour of the bronze suits his uniform and the environment he fought in 'Mud'. All those months of work have been well worth your effort a masterpiece.

Thanks for your comments everyone !
Heres pictures showing the plastiline original coated in shellac and broken up into more readily mouldable pieces , with mould barriers added. The green figures are the hollow poured waxes assembled with pouring runners and air risers added. this is the stage where i give it over to the foundry.

That is totally cool Rob.
Being an ex Boilmaker I can really relate to your work mate.
Bronze sculptures in my eye's are one of the most purest of art forms.This guy ozzes emotion.
Magnificant, you certainly have a talent there .
