Hi Gordon,
A nice looking subject ...good to see the ribbons on him as well ..like the side cap ....is this based on a particular picture reference?
Would be good to see one of him in later life with full medals on as well as he was a very charasmatic leader...its good to see the RCAF as well .

Nice work between you and Fex
More WW1 perhaps ?
Thanks for sharing

I think it's a very nice sculpt but, for character and visual interest, I think the "pre-hero" Billy Bishop, below, would have been a good choice. It's nice to see a Canadian subject in the mix, especially with Andrey's skill behind it.

Hello Kev
Great reference for the medals. I think Fex may have based the sculpt on this photo.
