    Greetings,
    Here is some more progress with the 1/12 figure.I was going to make a bust but decided to add legs as well.
    With help from my Daughter helena who appears so eager as he poses in some kind of gear for her father.We dont have a 30cal Browning so a shovel will have to do.
    Comments welcome.

    Agreed ! +1 The pose really conveys the weight of the gun.

    Hat's off to lovely Helena for being such a great sport! (y) I'm waiting for the day my son is tall enough to use him for props, for the meantime it's me with the wife taking pictures! o_O

    Andy, Love this, your sculpting certainly has great animation, look forward to further updates. BTW I hope your daughter gets an appropriately adjusted allowance for her modelling work!

    Wow, Andy:

    Just super . . . and the expression on the soldiers face is great. I admire
    your talents a great deal. BTW, I also raised a daughter, who is now 40 and
    lives far away. Durn burn it. Ah yes, we raise 'em. . . but we don't own 'em,

    Nelena doesn't look impressed. Back to the figure, great stance and the drapery looks spot on.

    Great pose and expression. I've noticed over the years that (generally speaking) the Axis figures have quite dark expressions whilst the Allied figures do not. I wonder if this reflects something in our collective psyche?

    Hi Andy,
    It would be nice to see a few more photo's from different angles, but from what I can see from this it is another quality piece of sculpting.
    I must say there is some excellent pieces on your website, the way you capture the drapery of the clothes and pose/stance of the figure is phenomenal. Good luck with your website, will be checking in from time to time.
    cheers

    Impressive work Andy, I like the fold lines on the right hand, minute touches like that make your pieces stand apart. (y)
