Andy it looks like a pretty good start. The pose feels slightly off ballance to me. What are your plans for him? Is he leaning on, or interacting with something else? Keep us posted.

Hello All,
The trousers are almost complete and the right hand has been sculpted too.Im trying to work with negative shape that is the shapes in the spaces around the figure,this for me strengthens the figures pose and shape also,well thats the theory anyway.anything could happen though.comments welcome.

Interesting pose, but I can really see it working!

One of the greatest pleasures (for me) in modelling is to watch a sculpt come together.

I'll also be interested to see how you bring out the asian features through your painting, that is something I want to master.

Mate, this is looking very impressive, will put this one on my wish list for the future for sure. He is one wary looking vc. Excelent, look forward to more pics.
Cheers Andrew
 
Hello All,
The brimmed hat is made,not sure if an optional hat should be made also.Worked on the right shoulder to set in the mg.and will then take off arm.I usually mark the upper arm area so I can set it when making the locating pins.I as going to have the machete tied to his pack but thought it better strapped to his belt on the left side.comments welcome.
