Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain at Little Round Top depicts the legendary Civil War hero about to make the famous charge down Little Round Top, thereby saving the entire Federal army. His men being completely out of ammunition led Col. Chamberlain to order a rare bayonet charge which swept the Rebels from the field.
Below are some fascinating views of the clay maquette of Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain at Little Round Top as the finished sculpture emerges. (See below for links to the completed piece in bronze and pecan )wood
The figure begins to take shape
An action piece emerges from the clay
Colonel Chamberlain is about to come to life
The imposing stature of the figure is present even without detail
The temporary stones represent the wall
on which Colonel Chamberlain's foot will rest
epaulets are added
Buttons are added to the tunic
Then, the sword belt
The final phase begins
The finest detail is now becoming apparent
But what's this? The figure has gone red
The figure is painted a reddish color to highlight any remaining imperfections which would be less observable in the clay color.
Almost nothing to touch up. Colonel Chamberlain has emerged life-like and ready for battle
Ready to be cast! Now sculptor Randy Groves waits for the bronze and pecan figures to be delivered. Because the detail on these will be considerably sharper, he will only see how his vision is realized when they arrive from the casting company.
