Guy, Roc, Poch, Kenneth and Joe, thanks for the kind words.
With the rifle, I will be able to fine tune the posing of my figure, hence the next SBS to be posted will most probably be the hands and the head. I will be modifying the facial expression.
I particularly enjoy doing the rear sight aperture as its intend is to indicate that the sharpshooter is aiming at a far away target. As such, when I pose the figure, the rifle will be slightly elevated. This is to account for the gravity which acts on the trajectory of the bullet.
Thanks Bruno, indeed much effort has gone into the scratch building of this rifle. Not forgetting the folks in planetfigure that provide me with information regarding the rifle. Without their info, it would have taken me more time to accumulate the necessary information. That's what good about this forum. The folks here are friendly and willing to share.
Thanks again to all that have one way or the other provide info or constructive criticisms.
I have converted the head that was given to me. The expression is of one that is aiming, with one eye closed. It is partially completed. hope you like it. I will be working on the hair, forage cap and maybe a moustache.
Hey,Wong Yau,the head looks REAL COOL !! Did you use "Epo-Putty" to add the additional features ? Go for the moustache;it'll really add some character to the face ! Cheers.
Kenneth :lol:
