I still have to add some detail to the face and hands, stitching to the shirt, and then think how to break this down for casting...

What scale options are you planning Steve?

 

[JackG]

This is really coming along nicely, glad to see mention of some further work on the hands. Something about the wrists and thumbs ... If you haven't done so, remember you can use yourself as a model to fine tune details. Just hold a hockey stick or broom etc in the same way to see how the wrist area behaves.

 

[Steve headley]

Hi Rob we are looking at 1/12 scale it fits in with our other busts we do with arms. Hope that helps.

Pokrad it’s coming along very well in deed the final touches will really bring out the best in this.

JackG thank you for the kind words and advice,I’m sure you’ll be very happy with the end result for sure.

Just hold a hockey stick

Said Canadian

 

[JackG]

Owning a hockey stick is a right of passage for most Canadians

 

[pokrad]

In won't get better than this, at least not without hockey stick

Inside of the palm will not be visible, so it is just scrabbled quickly...

 

[pokrad]

And some stitches, wrinkles etc...

 

[JackG]

Amazing how a few wrinkles at the base of the palm makes a difference

Look forward to see what is done to the wrists . . .

EDIT another update just posted and yes wrist look fine now.

It wasn't just wrinkles... you were right, the angle(rotation) of the thumb was wrong (it can be put in that angle only if broken)

Now I have to break the simmetry of the face a bit, and start preparing for printing...

 

[pokrad]

Here is the version with the older face (not decided yet, but probably both faces will be included)

and the final version of the bust:

 

[Nap]

I like the older face on him , more character imo , perhaps add a bit of stubble ?

I know the radio is off the time but just looks too modernish ...like the early "mobile" brick phones .......my opinion only folks !

Sure this will be a popular paint
