I think you are doing very good with these. On the replication matter, have you thought about casting the head? This way you can make a dozen heads and of course change beards and even mouth expressions on each individual one but be sure that the helms are all exactly the same. I do understand that you want to hone your skills so that you can replicate it and practice will do that, but just a suggestions (often on pro sculpts I will see heads that look like they were cast in plastic or resin on fresh Green bodies with fresh green hair (even on GW sculpts when a rare Green version is shown).
An interesting idea. Especially since these guys are basic line troops, I do feel like I'm putting in more time worrying about the helmets as opposed to the rest of the miniature.
I have liquid silicone and resin so maybe this is my motivating opportunity to put it into use.
Should do since the thought & research into doing my own casts has been constant. Lol
What I think I'll do is finish some of the current sculpts and then go about maybe doing helmets without faces an maybe torsos, then cast a few bunches of them to work on.
Then could get a more professional look to my finished sculpts, so thanks for the heads up!
