WIP Colour Sgt. Bourne the 200mm full figure.

[Richie]

Hi All,
Here is something else I have started in attempt to get back to the bench. I would like to thank Ross of Mitches Military Models, as I picked some Zulu war character heads off him at scale model Scotland. Thanks mate.
I have made some minor changes to the face, mainly the nose profile, chin and facial hair I have also redone the helmet. I have added the upper torso, arms and rifle from my bust. I added the medals, sash and currently working on the legs. Need to make a rifle sling and do a bit of tidying up on the upper half, but quite pleased with the progress so far.
cheers
Richie

Were you waiting for me to come home to announce this?
Really pleased to see you back in the saddle mate, you do realise that if you didn't feel the need to fiddle about with perfectly good figures you'd get more done.

Looking forward to seeing this on Friday.

Hi Roger,
Thank mate, I'll bring him on Friday. I need to fiddle, for something unique.

Hi John,
Thanks mate, I thought you would like this one.

Hi Marc,
Thanks mate, just hope the bottom half goes as well.

Hi Brian,
Thanks mate, I really liked what you did with Hooky, so I thought I would pull my finger out.
cheers

Hi Nap,
Thanks mate, it's way off a bit of colour yet, well may be a bit of grey.

Hi Michael,
Thanks mate, the Zulu war is definitely a weakness of mine too.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks mate, and thanks for the vote of confidence.

Hi Dewi,
Thanks mate, it is one of the reasons, but the main reason is I lost my mojo for a long time.

Hi Brock,
Thanks mate, glad you like him.

Hi Al,
Thanks mate, I'm just glad to be doing something again.

I will post again when I make some significant progress.
cheers
Richie

Hi All, "ALRIGHT THEN"
I have managed to move this on a good way and he is now standing. Still have the rifle sling, piping and rear tapes on the tunic, trouser tapes, sash, gaiters, swagger stick to tuck in his belt to make and a bit of general tidy up.
I must say I'm very happy with what I have achieved so far even if it's not totally perfect. He does look impressive to the eye and I can't to get some colour on my Colour Sgt.
cheers
Richie

Is it all glued together now? Lastnight I had an awful anxious feeling whenever anyone was near it, another reason Terry's bayonet should have been kept out of reach.
Good progress, keep it up mate.

 

[Richie]

Hi Roger,
Still only blue tacked mate. I think this one has a charmed life based on the amount of times I've dropped it. Started blocking in the head with colours even though not finished sculpting.
cheers
Richie
