Garry, Old Barts FC (54mm)

[Chas Young]

I would like to share this figure I sculpted/converted, which I gave to my grandad for Christmas. He played football for the "Old Barts", a champion senior league club in Eastleigh during the 1950's. I converted parts from Airfix "Multipose" kits to create this pose. This is the first time I have done a significant amount of figure sculpting and I know I still have a lot to improve.

You can see the build log here: http://www.hfmodeling.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=124075&page=1

Regards,
Chas

I don't like soccer. But you made a very, very good figure for your grandad.
Excellent sculpt. He can be proud of his grandson.

Thanks for the responses!

I'm glad you like it, Marc. So what other sports do you play in the Netherlands?

Tony, thanks mate. Hopefully we can see each other's work sooner than WASMEx! Do you know if there are any HMFS meetings in January?

Nap, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't have any more sculpts 'in the pipe' as yet, but I am working on this vignette: http://www.hfmodeling.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=129540&page=1

I'm glad you like it, Derek.

Nap, thanks for your comment on the paratrooper. From making the vignette I have become fascinated with the subject also.

Thanks for all the feedback,
Chas
