Hello,
I post also here some photos of the figure I sculpted. Now it´s primed and ready to be painted. The surface looks okay, but still needs some sanding. And I NEED painting advice !!!
Scale is 120mm.
Cheers; Pekka N.

Excellent clean sculpt, fur looks brilliant as does the natural curve of the lapels. Top job!
 
Tnx/ info

Thank you for comments. I used Magic Sculp as it really is the best putty out there. This figure is Captain Aarne Juutilainen also known as "Terror of Morocco" as he had served in the French Foreign Legion in the 30s. During the Finno-Russo Winter War 1939-40 he held with his troops (or as he called them "my sinners")a important section of the front at Kollaa-river against overwhelming Russian attacks. So he was very famous for his courage and fiery fighting spirit. He was very proud that weapons for his troops and his own equipement was taken from the Soviets. He is wearing a Russian coat, pistol etc. His boots are the so called Lapplander boots originating from Lappland and the Sami people there.
So,a very interesting character to model, I hope I have given him some credit ;)
Cheers;
Pekka N.
