Hi Kaz,
You have that pose - spot on for the driver. Looks naturally relaxed in his seated position. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Thanks Gérard and Darko!

Darko, this is italeri No.6351, Willys Jeep with M2 Machine Gun.

Yeah, I should know cause wheels are made from plastic. I have Hasegawa and hate the rubber wheels

Kaz excellent sculpting the poses look so relaxed and natural . Can I ask what material you're using , I'm guessing MS for the anatomy but what have you used for the drapery. Following.

Cheers Ken

Thanks Ken,

Ken, I'm using "Cemedine epoxie for metal" (Only sold in Japan) for building anaomy, "Magic Sculpt" (only a small area, such as faces, hands. I cannot use MS for a long time since I hava a allergic reaction to it), "Aves Apoxie Sculpt" and "Aves Apoxie Clay" for the rest.

Main materials I'm using for drapery here is "Aves Apoxie Clay".
