Hello all,

Here is a small update

The punk has got hair now and a pair of boots

I didn’t work much on the Guides vignette, just a little refining of the basic anatomy. I think they are ready for sculpting clothes and details now.

Both projects are a bit delayed trough a new project I started, but actually is it an old project I started in 2007. It is called Blindfold and Alone, based on the poem of Rudyard Kipling about the executed British soldiers in World War One.

The Coward
I could not look on Death,
which being known,
Men led me to him,
blindfold and alone

There is a book with the same title and can recommend it.

This is actually the third version of the figure. The first one I wasn’t satisfied enough. The second got burned in the oven while drying some putty…
After reading some passages from the book last week I decided to start with a new version.

Excuses for the not so good pics..

Kind regards,
Robert Jan
