[QUOTE="invictus, post: 270970, member: 9973"][b]A way to better enjoy coin designs, and a question[/b] My main problem with the coin collection has always been that it's hard to enjoy on a day-to-day basis since you've got to stop and get close to them. Here are a few shots of various stages of a project to remedy this. The idea is to use a print of a coin as reference in order to sketch a large-scale representation of an attractive coin design. From there, an equal-sized model would be sculpted, then a few casts from that model which would ultimately be finished in silver or gold leafing. I haven't touched this stuff since I started working on the project car.. :( I tried to stay true to the style of the originals (that's the point), so any errors in perspective or proportions are intentionally retained. Most of the subjects chosen have writing on the original- I'm not sure whether to replicate the writing or not. Would you?[/QUOTE]
