Any plans for the scale at the end? Im hoping also for 1:16 / 120mm

Hi FlaBtl (Sfl) 606,

Haven't decide on the scale but likely to be in larger scale as I hope to put in more details to the figure. Working on the head and the pith helmet at the moment, should be able to post some images tomorrow.

Very cool! Please keep us updated!

Attached are the images of the head and the pith helmet, always prefer to start with the head first. Further details will be added ( head and helmet ) but will be working on the body next.

Very nice Vince. Great job on the helmet. I'm also in the early stages of a figure and find this is the most important part. Fortunately making corrections digitally is easier than scraping off putty or having to reposition a part(s) of your armature.

 

[vince wai]

Thanks garyjd, yeah, digital media is more forgiving than regular putty , Weird times to be an artist, haven't use a physical brush to do any drawing/ illustrations for the last 20+ years.

Some new images with the body added.

The clothing looks very natural with folds and drapery effects convincing.

Just come up with the arms, hands and the Winkerkelle. Cuffbands are added yet and should be able to get it done next.

 

[vince wai]

Added the cuff titles, shoulder boards and belt buckles. Also the right hands is modified.

Not a criticism; a comment.

The helmet looks off to me. I think it should be slightly longer in the rear.

Attaching an image of an original, which I think shows this well.
