Sharpshooter ACW

[elanlane13]

I have made some more progress with this figure. The rifle has now been scratchbuilt and test fitting is taking place.
This is a 1/30 one-off commission piece, sculpted in Bees Putty/Molten Clay mix and Magic Sculpt.

I like this one. I am a bit of a civil war buff. Too bad it is a commission piece

Very nice job! Lucky the man who commissioned this

 

[Cannonball]

Great looking piece so far Rob.

[El Tché]

Very Nice
My very very humble opinion : the torso should be bent forward. the pose will be more dynamic and physically, he anticipates the recoil of the weapon

Looks interesting and a good start... but the left foot in the painting is nicely braced against the tree and the branch rather than what looks more like a casual resting mode?

Interesting project Rob, looking good so far.

Thank you all for the feedback and suggestions.

The pose looks great, okay slightly different from the image but so what? He's coming along really well Rob, I think this could be popular once he comes up for sale
Cheers

... okay slightly different from the image but so what?

Not a matter of slavishly copying the picture, simply that bracing against the crook of the branch/trunk seems more natural and would provide a more stable platform for sharpshooting.

... not that this takes away from the great quality of the sculpt overall (great work on the rifle in particular)

I think this is a one off commission, not for general sale. Shame.
