WIP "....and snappeth the spear in sunder"

[Richie]

Hi All,
I thought I would start my latest release to run in tandem with my dio. I have just set off and blocked in all the colours. I decided to have the mounting post angled so he is protruding out more menacingly.
As always all comments welcome.
cheers
Richie

That's looking good Richie.

 

[Rich Sculpts]

It would be even more menacing having him bursting out of a mealie bag?

Great start Richie!

Pte Terry Err 419 looks very good, looks a bit younger than Pte Terry Err 717.

[kagemusha]

Not bad I suppose .....right...that's me out of a job then....anybody need a redundant box art painter

Seriously tho mate...great start to another fun piece

 

[Gaudin]

Mealie bag idea is ace! I would build a small barricade and he would lean over it.

 

[samson]

Hi Ralph,
Thank you mate, he's a fun piece to work on.

Hi Rich,
Thank you mate, I will have a look at a few ideas after I finish painting him.

Hi Bob,


Hi Kevin,
Thank mate, glad you like him

Hi Ron,
Thank you mate, I'll take not bad. Now, you are I both know you have not been made redundant. I think I'm going to send you my signature piece!

Hi D,
I will have a look a the mealie bag/barricade idea, but I will need to be careful otherwise it will topple over. Great sculpt by the way the frown lines on the dogs head the expression, the pose is just brilliant mate, it's all brilliant and what a fun piece.

Hi Rob,
Thank you mate, glad you like him

Hi Colin,
Thank you mate, how's my Canadian bro doing, could do a Canadian beaver, but beaver might have a different connotation over here

Hi Brian,
Thanks you mate, I'm sure you could make a unique bustorama out of this.

Might not get any painting in today due to the rugby. But I'm going to get my Terrier to worry that ANZAC Roo before tonight's clash

cheers
Richie

Hi Gary,
Thanks mate and yes release the hounds. I at least hope they have some bite in them tonight!

Hi Andrew,
Thanks mate, glad you like him, that's exactly the same way I feel every time I see him, I just end up with a smile or big daft grin.
cheers
Richie

Hi Brock,
Apologies for the late reply, glad you like my quirky piece. Now you be a good boy and you never know what Santa will bring you.

Richie

Hi All,
I've been doing a bit more work on my pup, I've started to work on the head whilst starting to alter the tones on the tunic. Still loads to do. Please feel free to comment.
