Hi Guys,some more progress on Maori Chief Hori Kingi te Anaua.I haven't spent to much time on his jacket as the Kaitaka (cloak) covers quite a bit of it.Hope you like him so far.

Kind regards,John

Hi John,

Outstanding sculpting mate. He's really starting to come on. The facial expression is spot on.

Can't wait to see how you detail the cloak.

Hi Tony,thanks for the compliments on the sculpting.With the Kaitaka I thought about sculpting the ornamental design around the edge,but I think I will free hand paint it,basically because the weave would be very fine in scale on this fax Kaitaka.

Regards,John

John,
great stuff.

I agree, a great contrast between Native Maori themes and the Victorian dress and mustache...

I can only add to the chorus.

Cheers
