Thanks, Roc.
The parac is now more advanced, i finished the head (yes, i fix the chin), and now i´m working in the uniform.
But i have not digital camera and must wait to the saturday for a photo session with my friend Guille Centeno (AKA GDCDREAMS).

They're great Gus!
Having seen the models in person, I can say that's a real piece of work.

I'm not the one that has to answer, but do you remember Sir Winston's sentence "blood, sweat and tears" ??
Am I right Gus?

Congratulations

Best regards

Very nice work, Gustavo!

I'm impressed with the British para. Lots of character in that face.

What a great portrait of a British oficer! So unusual kind of face and so full of life and expression! Do you use any real man portrait for this work? And what is parac, paratrooper, isn't?
Here in Jerusalem we have San Martin street. Do you think it''s the very San Martin?

 

[Dan Morton]

Very nice sculpting, Gustavo! Both are well done, but I find the British para more interesting. An unusual face, if you don't mind me saying so, but intriguing. I'm not sure if I believe that smile.

all the best,
Dan

Hi, folks.
Thanks, for your comments, it`s really important to me.
Well about the para`s face , i only can say one thing, the true, it`s a failed attemp, to sculplt the face of LT.Col. Jhon Frost, Officer of the Paras located in Arnhem Bridge, (To far, but to close from him ). But the final result was a face very expressive, but not Jhon Frost.

Dr. Lutz, no i don`t think so, pherhaps, the San Martin Street in your country, was for San Martin de Porres (a Crhistian saint).


Sorry for my english, as my sculpts i do my best.

The Para reminds me of John Cleese from Monty Python. I really like the character in the face, should like real nice painted. Thanks for sharing!
