1:24 Austrian Landwehr mountain trooper 1916

[Doberdob]

Hello everyone!

I have finally! finished my new figure. It's a soldier of the Austro-Hungarian Landwehr mountain troops somewhere on the Isonzo(Italian) front in 1916.
The scale is 1:24 and the material is Magic sculp.
I' ll add rifle sling when i paint the figure. Any comments and critiques are welcome.

Cheers,
Primož

Well it's only my second fgure so far. I just keep correcting it until i'm not satisfied enough. I used to draw them before,so i kind of know what do I want to achieve.
I only wish I could do it faster

Hello Primoz,

Its a nice piece of work comparable composition and scale to the JMD WW1 figures, i think i may have a go at sculpting but knowing my luck it would end up looking like a brit kiddies tv charecter called morph !!,

Best RGDS

Hi Primoz,

Excellent sculpting, a true work of art!

Have you had any sculpting background or artistic training?

Cheers,
Jon.

Thanks, Jonathan. I studied restoration.We did do some sculpting, especialy with clay and plaster but not very much comparing to drawing. We did that much more. I like it both.
