Confederate States Marine Corps

Another view.

The trouser legs. the right one needs to be cleaned up a bit once the putty cures.

 

[garyjd]

Both legs again. I like mixing the two putties together, although I only get a good 30 minutes to put the initial layer of putty where I want it. After that I need to start working in the folds.

Looking really good Gary!

Christos, thank you.


I started work on the body of the marine's frock coat. Later today I'll begin the arms.

 

[Joe Hudson]

Looks nice Gary. I really like the mustache on this guy.

[garyjd]

Joe, Thanks. I do not do facial hair on figures much, so I decided to go ahead with one.~Gary

A couple pictures showing the bottom of the frock roughed in.

The full figure.

This figure is going to be one that you'll probably get alot of requests to have done commercially Gary, amongst them myself. Great sculpt.

 

[Von Luch]

Hi Gary,

This figure is coming along nicely, very nice detail. Thanks for sharing!

Very good work so far Gary..I love the way the coat is shaping up.
With the bald head and the big moustache he reminds me of a victorian era prize-figter...
I'll go along with what John said regards being available commercially.

All the best..Roy.

 

[garyjd]

James & Roy, Thanks a lot.~Gary

 

[garyjd]

I'm going to start work on the arms soon so I posed the figure on the base. The blu tac is just helping to hold the figure upright.

 

[garyjd]

One more.

Hi Gary

I see that the piece proceeds well.... will be an optimal execution......
asked one what but with those scales therefore tightened I task that I would be come down more laterally.......... otherwise it is much easy one to take one distortion...... :lol:

(only one my consideration)

It compliments optimal job
Salutes MAB

James, Roy, & Maurizio, Thanks for the kind words guys.~Gary

 

[garyjd]

A small update on the marine. I have most of the kepi done minus the chinstrap.

 

[garyjd]

Another showing the kepi and waistbelt/buckle.

 

[garyjd]

The "S" shaped buckle was a bit of a pain, I had to use some small gauge wire to do it.
