Stephen - As always, masterful sculpting! 
I think you may have set the painters a bit of a challenge with the coat covering the trousers. No idea how else you could have sculpted it however. Hmmm.
All the best,
Dan

Hi Xenofon. I'm sorry but this one is a 'one of '. But I think it would be a greta subject for a commercial piece. As for the Tartan, I know it's going to be a tough job painting it. One thing that may help is the fact that the broadsword is removable. I can take the sword out for ease of painting and then attach it later. Yeah big consolation :lol: :lol:

Hi mate,
Great sculpting all along and as we've already discussed my ONLY quibble re size of the head (which IMHO looks a bit small when compared to the rest of figure especially in the first pic!) all there's left for me to tell you is......Good Luck with the tartan especially in between that dreaded but naturally sculpted cloak!!
Thank God I'm not painting this dude :angry:
Can't wait to see you trade putty for paint and scalpel for brush :lol:

Wow.
I really like the coat! It has the feel of heavy fabric and just the right amount of wrinkles.
Yeah, painting the tartan will be a challenge, but I'm sure you'll rise it.
Looking forward to seeing the progress as it is cleaned up and painted!

Ciao Stephen
Anche questo è un buon lavoro
mi piace la posizione ed anche il panneggio.
Il cappotto in fotografia mi senbra un po spesso
naturalmente capisco che non è facile mettere una sfoglia
sottile con il rischio che si laceri ........ ma potresti provare
ad assottigliare solo i bordi .... si ha cosi un ottimo effetto ottico.
Ciao e buon lavoro.

Stephen - I think the painting "problem" with the coat isn't insurmountable. I wonder if there was any way to have avoided it. Maybe you could have made the figure in two halves, painting the interior bits, then assembling it. I dunno...maybe that would be more extra work than it's worth.
I had a self-inflicted wound with my recently completed two figure diorama. If you aren't familiar with it, the two figures are locked in a nose-to-nose struggle, the Frenchman just about lying on top of the German. I constructed each figure separately about 80%, paying more attention to their backs than their fronts. At some point I decided that the only way I knew to make sure they fit properly and looked right together was to join them up. Alas, this created a difficult predicament for a painter. Never saw it comin' Duh! :angry:
So now - I'm a little more sensitive to the needs of painters. Kinda.
All the best,
Dan
