Hello All,
This is a start on a 1/12 German Officer bust.About an hour turning the brass bits for the binoculars.

Hi Andy!

Nice project.
If you want to keep yourself exact to the model photo, the rotation of the head could be a little bit stronger, I think...

I will follow with interest.

Cheers

Hello All,
The hands have been formed.This pose is needed to avoid any dead space,that is the head ,binoculars and hands with cigarette pack ,keep a certain level of interest as the eye follows the lines,upwards or downwards.(well,thats my theory anyway).
I enjoy sculpting hands as they say a lot even with a half bust let alone a full figure.
Comments welcome.

good work Andy, in my opinion the arms look kinda small respect to the head, also the jaw/chin I would move a bit backwards, not so prominet, looking forward your progres mate!

Thanks for the comments guys.I have lengthened the arms by a couple of mil each and has improved the look alot.
Cheers
