As I said in the video, I've remade the armatures, because I'm redoing the figures in wax. The clay is just to soft for high detail in faces, and hair. So I made the female armature a bit smaller than the male. Once made I start to add wax to the legs as I did on the cowboy in Bronc Stompin.
I've cleaned up the horses a bit and worked on the neck of the rear horse. Now I'm putting the saddle blanket on the front horse.
From the saddle tree up, I start to create the Santa Fe Saddle. This is the type of saddle used during the Mountain Man era. I'm making it out of wax.
Then using clay, I start the bear skin that will be over the saddle under the Mountain Man. Using one of my metal tools I start to put texture into the fur. Not sure if this detail will survive the creation of the Mountain Man, but I figure it's worth a do.
At the end of the day, I'm ready to start the Mountain Man tomorrow.
