As far as being satisfied with this figure, well I'm not, nor was I before, it is not the masterpiece I crave (doubtful I'll ever achieve this state of excellence, but the desire does keep me trying). :lol: Still it is a fair representation, in my view, of the type of person I wanted to model.

The most important thing to me concerning this thread is that it was information, interesting, and fun, even if a little frustrating at times, (most because of my struggle with trying to explain the thing without the necessary photo's).

Ray,

The sculpting is well done. Keep pluggung away.

I still think it was a great thread that got a lot of folks involved, even though there was some misundertsnading in regards to the pose/concept of your figure. It's participation like this that was more commonplace on PF not too long ago. It would be great to see it reppear with regularity.~Gary

Gary,
Will do, wish me luck with it if you would.

I have to agree that this kind of thing is great, and exactly what I'd hoped for when first coming here. It'd be nice to have another such occur, though it may, unfortunately, require a misunderstanding to become as contentious as this last.

Jeff,
After reading again, your posted, and PM'd suggestion concerning the figures arms it occurs to me that I didn't actually understand what you were saying. Did you mean the same change as Dani suggested, that I've been agreeing with while disagreeing with you? If so please disregard everything else I've said about it, and accept my apology for being so obtuse.

Ray, I was just suggesting what I had said before, moving them closer to the body to get the more relaxed pose you seemed to be after. Because the arms are removable I thougth you could put a set of simple wire arms on and play with the arms a little. I do not think the shoulders will be as much as an issue as you think. It will just look as if he has his upper body weight is over the rifle a little. As you said looking out at something. I just thought it would not take a whole lot of time to play with the arms and if you think it looks better then it just means resculpting the two parts and nothing else, the hands are fine. But if you are happy with him leave him alone. I was not trying to beat a dead horse or any thing it just seemed like it would be easy to play with the arms a little since they are removable.


Dani, I like your pose it looks good to me I would like to see more photos of him.


Best
Jeff
