Phil's words
"This has been a want to do sculpt figure for many a year. The ground work is a 3d background, not sure if it has worked But t was fun trying. I've turely enjoyed sculpting & painting this bloke, perhaps it is his lack of military apearance haha".
Al painted with oils & colour pencils.
Capt Fry was soon to be killed on hill60

Morning folks..
Capt.Phil Fry for me is a most enjoyable WIP..The Capt.will be leaning back against the trench wall,hot and dusty every fly in the world was there in the trenches plenty for them to feed on..the ground is still a yes/no for me at this stage although trying something a wee different for me is moving forward.....
....phil....cheers cob for the pics..

Looks good.

For others who may not be as familiar with the Gallipoli campaign, perhaps a potted history of the man would help add some details to this sculpt?

Still, nice pose!

Cheers

Hi Phil,

Lovely work on Capt. Fry; one of your best I'd say.

The most famous photo of Captain Fry shows him leaning against a trench with a pair of binoculars around his neck and a large pile of papers (perhaps a folded map) stuffed into his left breast pocket.

He's a real "Harry High-Pants" isn't he??
