Hello all

I want to make a little tribute to the 4th Indian Division, in general, one of the great forgotten by the modelists, I don´t understand why because offers a lot of possibilities.
They came from India and Nepal to die in Africa and Italy and they deserve it.
I have in my mind a very big Diorama and they will be the main characters.
I have began with some Gurkhas, based in this picture

I will show you the process of sculpting, I hope you like

Hello Fernando,

Excellent start ! You've capture a natural pose.
What meduim are you using ? a mix of Duro and magic sculpt ?
Will you sculpt a lot of them if you plan to make a big dio ?
Very nice step by step in any case.
Julien

Hola Fernando,

fully agree with Julien! Great start into a worthy project!
Very nice sculpting!! You are a real talent!!

Gurkhas are probably among the best soldiers ever and brave to the end!

Superb show! Will watch closely!!!

Thanks for sharing!

Cheers

Romain

Fernando,

There is this dragon set. It has a buch of gurkha heads and Khukuri. Great start though, wonderful sculpt.

What, they deserved to die in Africa and Italy?? Sorry, couldn't resist that.

Oups,Sorry people from 4th div. I don't control well this language of barbarians. I want to say taht they deserve the tribute.

Merci Julien, oui j'ai utilise plusieur pates de deux composant (I use several stuffs of two components), but not always Duro and Magic. For the base I used one used to repair pipes.

The idea is to sculpt a lot of them and modifiy old figures. I have already done some of them, I´m going to post them a.s.a.p. But all this work takes its time, so I would like to ask for you a little bit of patience

Thanks to Romain and Paul, I knew this box set but it is difficult to find where I live.

Some progress, yesterday I had not enough time to post all the pictures, it is practically finished, he needs some touches and his kukri

Hi there.
Think you are doing a great job with your gurkha sculpt.Keep it up and jolly well done.
Regards from Richard

Hi Fernando,

if you have troubles finding this set, order it over the net! The picture says "BNA models" and they have a very good on-line service!!

Cheers

Romain

Very very nice job sculpting!!! Nice subject as well. My only slight critique would be he maybe looks a little too well fed?
