Stage 9
I sculpt the right glove, and I check to make sure there will be no problems when I add the shield on the arm.
I finish the right legging.
I then sculpt a base for the figure, upon an existing round plastic base. I cut the wire at the bottom of the feet (leaving 0.4mm) and I insert the figurine in the base (making sure not to touch the uncured glove that has just been sculpted)
I let this cure.
_______________
The shield and the sword:
To do the shield I spread out a rather thick sheet of duro. As when doing the belts, if you work when the duro has started to dry, it is easier. I cut the shield shape out, and then lay it on a plastic tube to give it a slightly convex form. This is then allowed to dry.
I add the cross, and some small rivets done with tiny balls of greenstuff. I let this cure.
I take off the shield and I sculpt the other side.
For the sword, I coat a metal wire with Andrea Sculpt (it is like Milliput) and I crush it between two chalked plates. Once dry, I sand this down to give it the correct final shape (this can be done with a Dremel for convenience, though be careful!). Then I make the handle with greenstuff.
Note: If the figurine is intended for casting by vulcanization, it is preferable to reinforce the swords and others weapons with a metal wire.

i love it, but i have a minor critasizm, i peronally think u wasted a bit'o'greenstuff putting in all the muscular structures, i would kave put alot less detail into the muscle definision (as you knew he was going to be dressed for battle) but still padded him out a bit.
apart from that thanks for the advice...

Great article... if only it was as easy as you make it look.
Step 1: Start with a large green ball.
Step 2: Take away everything that isn't a knight.
