Go for it Joe...I think the pose, coupled with the look on the face is great. I think the angle of the head in relation to the nugget helps a lot in conveying a kind of sincere surprise...a bit hard to explain what I mean...sorry.

Nice one Joe.

Looks great, Joe! I like shape of his hat. Some photographs, of those rugged miners, really make the a sculptors fingers "itch". Was there any other photos that you drew inspirtaion?

Thanks to all of you for the kind words. I am having a lot of fun with this one and hope to have it finished really soon.

Roy,

Thanks. I am trying to make my figures have little more life in them instead of the old stiff looking ones I have done in the past.

Jason,

I am sure that there may be more from the era that I jump into. I have always loved this era and the clothing from it. I drew some inspiration from a few different pictures. The one thing that got me to jump into this one was seeing Bill Horan's figure in Atlanta. I can't tell you how great this figure looked in person. I just took picture after picture. It was so plain that it looked so real! I also found this miner actor while searching for information.

Joe, Great stuff mate! what sort of setting do you have in mind, that picture of the miner in the stream would be perfect for your figure.

 

[Calvin]

Hi Joe,
are you planning to place your figure into the river, as the first 'old miner' you post ?

 

[Roy]

Really inspiring images Joe...I can understand how you had to get going after seeing Bills figure.

All the best.

Roy.

 

[Roc]

Hey Joe, will this figure be a one of a kind or will it be mass produced ?
I would sure love to buy one.



Keep up the great work

Cheers
Roc.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the kind words. I will be placing him next to a stream/creek and will try my hand with a little water. Here is a kind of updated picture.

Hey Roc,

Sorry I missed your post! But to answer your question on if this is a one off or not, well take a look at the picture. :lol: I was pleased to be asked to sell it to VLS for their new western line so I look forward to seeing your version of the miner.
