Andyman Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Pretty slick there, WJN! All one piece of brass? It's begging for some kind of eyes and mouth inlays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJN Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 Yes, one piece. I thought briefly about a tiny drop of paint in each eye, the mouth, & chest detail, but I kinda like the purity of the all metal look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I can understand your feelings for all metal purity but to me it looks like the eyes are just missing. Maybe if you didn't go so deep on the sockets?Still cool as all hell. Is that all milled on one machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 How was he milled ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJN Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 The "blank" was turned on a toolroom lathe, (top knot, head, neck, outside dimension of arms, curved surface of toes) then the rest was done on a v-mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJN Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 Thanks! It was sort of an experiment to see how small was practical.... I'm confident I can go smaller, but not for a while.... my eyes, neck, & furrowed brow need to recover first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
