Do you remember the great sargeant Saunders??
He was one of my first heroe when I was a child.
Well, this is a little tribute to Vic Morrow.
This portrait had been more difficult to me, be kindly please

Awesome work Alex! Man, what a blast from the past. After viewing several episodes of Daniel Boone on TVLand a month ago, I made the comment that it doesn't get any better than this. Well, I grew up watching Combat in black and white and loved every episode. When color episodes came out, I thought nothing could top them. Well now this bust comes along. I'm eating my words...I hope this is a commerical piece! Thanks for sharing.This bust is right on! Now, can you work a Thompson submachine gun onto the figure's back and helmet with camo cover hanging on the back of his head. This is so neat!

Best of Everything, Terry Martin

Hello Kevin, I have not saw any chapter in 15 years maybe, but, I remember this serie.

Thanks Terry, actually I´m working on the helmet this wil be optional, and the Tommy gun, (have good pics yet)

I´ll show you soon.

Alex.

 

[Alex Lopez]

Working on the helmet, this can be romove.
I´m going to chec the form and size, before add the texture.

I´m working...

Alex.

 

[vergilius]

I don't know him but it really looks great
the helmet looks a little too flat though

 

[tete2noeud]

Excellent work, very expressive face.
But you work with right hand, don't you ?
I have also great difficulties to correct this right (left for a left-hander, surely) hand effect...

 

[Alex Lopez]

Patrick, Im wonking on the helmet, you right it have something rare

Denoeud, YES!! you right, I knew that, and try to correct it, but I see the effet till I see the model picture, I can chec this if look at the model in to a mirrow.

Im working...

Alex.

Hello Gary, thanks, actually I had made some retouches on helmet, and I´m going to add the camo cover.

Hola Alex!
Your bust is very good, I used to watch "combate" on tv and with this work you have put in my mind those good times
Sorry, now some in spanish
Me parece muy bueno, solamente algunos detallitos y según veo si le quitaras un poco de volúmen en el maxilar inferior ganaría en parecido, no se, creo que tiene un poco más de peso que el actor. Muy buenas proporciones! Qué escala es??
Estaré pendiente para la continuación!

Un saludo

Roberto

 

[Alex Lopez]

Hola Roberto. thanks for your comments, on this and Blackbeard.

regards,

Alex.
