Greetings,
Here is some more progress with the 1/12 figure.I was going to make a bust but decided to add legs as well.
With help from my Daughter helena who appears so eager as he poses in some kind of gear for her father.We dont have a 30cal Browning so a shovel will have to do.
Comments welcome.
Andy

Hi Andy,
Great start again, the drapery on the trousers is excellent.

I've never seen a 30 cal shovel before

cheers

Agreed ! +1 The pose really conveys the weight of the gun.

Hat's off to lovely Helena for being such a great sport!

I'm waiting for the day my son is tall enough to use him for props, for the meantime it's me with the wife taking pictures!

Andy, Love this, your sculpting certainly has great animation, look forward to further updates. BTW I hope your daughter gets an appropriately adjusted allowance for her modelling work!
Cheers Les

This is a great figure good for you. The body language is perfect.

Wow, Andy:

Just super . . . and the expression on the soldiers face is great. I admire
your talents a great deal. BTW, I also raised a daughter, who is now 40 and
lives far away. Durn burn it. Ah yes, we raise 'em. . . but we don't own 'em,

Nelena doesn't look impressed. Back to the figure, great stance and the drapery looks spot on.

Hello All,
The shirt has been started and the pouches in place.
Comments welcome.
Thanks for the comment Sebastian.

Great pose and expression. I've noticed over the years that (generally speaking) the Axis figures have quite dark expressions whilst the Allied figures do not. I wonder if this reflects something in our collective psyche?

amcairns · Feb 8, 2012

Hello All,
Some more work done on the figure.Have placed the left hand but am not yet happy with it as it still needs some work.comments welcome.
I now have a website up and running so feel free to visit sometime.
Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy,
It would be nice to see a few more photo's from different angles, but from what I can see from this it is another quality piece of sculpting.
I must say there is some excellent pieces on your website, the way you capture the drapery of the clothes and pose/stance of the figure is phenomenal. Good luck with your website, will be checking in from time to time.
cheers
Richie

Impressive work Andy, I like the fold lines on the right hand, minute touches like that make your pieces stand apart.
