Wonderfull SBS Maurizio. Thanks for sharing

Fascinating to see how a master modeler works.

Just out of curiosity, how many figures do your employer expect you to sculpt a year?

Thanks Maurizio.

Maurizio:

Just incredible. Thank you so much for taking time to post your text here
and all those great pictures. Not only are you a very talented artist,
sculptor, but you're a wiz at photoshop too. Love the choice of the typeface
that you picked. . . Thanks again.

Hi Costas - Markus - Rudi - Alguhan - Jesper and Rick

Thanks a lot for your acceptance and your comments......

For Jesper - how many pieces make I in a year?
for the producer..LOL will be always little......

but it considers that also I every a lot suffer the
crisis from the artist and must stop some day
of the times study also the documentation
the times change based on the Scale or to the Subject
however in average I make one 54 milimeter in 22 days......
and one 75 milimeter in 45 days...... and some time
joint also some piece for collection.

For Rick - thanks for to have appreciated my job on Photoshop.....

Salute to all MAB

well Maurizio you have raised the bar very high indeed - It was a pleasure to look at your wonderful master and the ways you did certain stages- a very thoughtful gesture to those learning the craft- I am still in my "student' years but as they say the more you look and watch masters like yourself and others the more you learn
Thanks again and please be patient with us mere mortals
