The largest dog sculpture I've done yet. A 1:9 scale Flat
Coated Retriever. Modelled from a real
dog called Bramble, who I actually had the privilege of meeting in real life. He is a beautiful dog and I enjoyed sculpting
him very much, you’ll notice this is my first dog with it’s mouth open
too. The part I love the most when
sculpting is the detail, it was great fun doing the teeth and tongue!
My Brother, Jesse Knibbs (Trigger Happy Entertainment) took photos for me to work with, this is the pose the sculpture was based
on.
Photographing the model was difficult, he's come out more brown than he really is. I've been told that when photographing darker figurines, it is best to use a dark background, so I'll be trying that out next time.
Once again great work!-this is beautiful Harriet! Well done!

I don't mind at all! Thank you Paul, that's kind of you - I will love to put a link to your site on here too.
DeleteThanks Harriet-have you done any work on your Nyala yet?
DeleteNot yet unfortunately, the Nyala is a project I'm doing with a friend of mine, she's making a male Nyala to go with my female. She has yet to send me a copy of her male Nyala, this is so I can get the proportions right on the female.
DeleteI've a trio of Chital I finished this week, be posting photos soon, they're also in 1:22 scale.
Aaahh the beautiful spotted deer from India-I will look forward to your posting! Did you know that the common name for the Cheetah is derived from an Indian word meaning "The spotted one" and hence the very similar Chital(spotted deer)-just a bit of useless information I picked up along the way Ha Ha!
DeleteI didn't know that! That's really interesting, thanks for that Paul. I'll be posting photos of them tomorrow hopefully.
