Completed The Whale Hunter bust conversion to full figure

[Jimbo]

Carrying on with that salty flavour, here's yet another bust that I'm in the process of adding legs to...just for a change
1/9 bust from Scientific Miniatures of a 19th early 20th century Whale hunter, it's a wonderful bust which is close to the old photo of a certain Lifeboat man I believe.
Early days with this one but all in all a straight forward conversion of adding legs, I'm not sure if he's going to have boots with seamans socks turned over the top of the boots or a pair of waders on, I'm still trying to make up my mind on that one?
Copper wire for frame and milliput & magic sculpt as the putty.
Hope you like him so far
Cheers
Jim

I did think you'd suggest cutting off the legs to make a bust.
I wasn't wrong.
