Excellent work Gary. These scrathbuilds you're doing lately are excellent learning tools. Sometime in the future I'd like to see how you handle a more dynamic pose.

John, thanks. I purposely made the pose as simple as possible as I need to get this done asap. I have plans to do more animated figures in the near future.~gary

Here are a few pictures showing the lace on the front of the coat, one or two need to be redone/ repositioned.

Here are the arms positioned with the left hand holding what will be a canteen.

Hey Gary, he's looking great, I love all the folds.
Since you first posted the reference picture I've been really looking forward to seeing the jacket lace and those little tassels take shape...can't wait..

REALLY COOL,Gary !!!

[garyjd]

Thanks a lot guys.

I started to add some of the belts to the figure. I will finish off the lace once all of the belts are complete.

 

[garyjd]

All of the belts have been added to the figure. I have to sand them down a little as they are sitting too high up on the figure in some areas and make the right shoulder look too low. I also sculpted most of the hair.
