teufelhunde.ret Posted April 8, 2009 Share #6 Posted April 8, 2009 Cesar, very unique!!! Do you have any views of these "in work" and or picture with something in "life scale" so we can get a sense of what the 1/6th scale looks like. Where did you ever find the brass, chain, canteen and sword... handmade? s/f Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CesarD Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted April 8, 2009 Actually I don't. I used to have a pic of me holding it in my hand. I could easily photograph one and send it. 1/6 scale is action figure or GI Joe size. See the photo of my cast cavalry stirrups. That should give you an idea. If you spend enough time on google you'll find things like chains and brass. I just started havng some of my brass detail cast in pewter. Saves me lots of time. Then I paint it. The canteen I used to make it from scratch from button covers but theres a place that supplies 1/6 scale enthusiasts and makes the canteen, besides other things I use. For example the sharps or springfield carbine and swords. I used to make the whole thing from scratch but now I have some of it made for me.s Cesar, very unique!!!

Old Marine Posted April 16, 2009 Share #9 Posted April 16, 2009 That is beautiful work. Great details, what material do you use? Is that leather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CesarD Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share #10 Posted April 18, 2009 Yes Sir. Everything is leather. The tree is resin cast and for the later saddles I cover it with very thin leather. The hardware is brass cast pieces and some of it is photoetch. Thanks for looking and for all the compliments. S/F Cesar That is beautiful work. Great details, what material do you use? Is that leather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Marine Posted April 20, 2009 Share #11 Posted April 20, 2009 I thought it was leather, it has that leather look to it, it looks so much better than vinyl or some faux leather. It's beautiful work, crisp and exact. Thanks for sharing the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtags Posted April 21, 2009 Share #12 Posted April 21, 2009 So where do you get the 1/6th scale cows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CesarD Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share #13 Posted April 21, 2009 Theres a place in the midwest, thats been breeding smaller and smaller cows. Its alot cheaper to buy a 1/6 scale hide as opposed to a fullscale hide. Well it comes out to 1/6th the price, wouldn't you know. . So where do you get the 1/6th scale cows?
