At the moment I'm sculpting two other models, Tamaraw bull & Nilgai bull.

Now: Please help to choose scale for Argali.  

It has 5,4cms SH in 1:22 scale, and the top of the horns are 8,7cms.
It will be 6 cms SH and 9,7 cms TH in 1:20, and 6,6 cms SH and 10,7 cms TH in 1:18 scale.
I know some people prefer 1:22 scale but now, somebody said me wild sheeps are a bigger than 1:22 scale.
So I started a poll, please choose the scale which you prefer!
Thank You!

Hi Noemi

your Marco Polo Argali looks fantastic though I have a doubt regarding the horns....shouldn't they have a double curve? I mean...they look more like a Bighorn's horns the way they are now... Welll...I am sure they are a nightmare to be modelled so...making a double curve will be a double nightmare...but I m pretty sure that the Marco Polo has more elaborated horns...am I wrong?

I was thinking the same thing

Well, it is drawn from the side, and as the last of the horns point outward , it won't really show from that angle

Susane wrote it well. In this angle it is not really visible. So don't worry.

Ok I won't probably they will be shown better once the real work will begin Thank you for your answer

Nice drawing and interesting species. Congratulations Noémi !

Waiting anxiously...

Argali in progress...
