Great work from Antonio, he really is an outstanding sculptor

It's a great sculpt, the face, and the uniform and Raupenhelm. The pipe does bother me a little, though. It, too, is a beautiful piece, but if you've ever smoked a "grandfather's pipe" like that one, you may find the pose odd. Generally, you have to hold the pipe, not clench it in your teeth like a smaller pipe. For one thing, it's got some weight, and it's in three parts--the pipe stem and shaft, the bottom piece, into which the shaft and bowl fit, and the bowl. It's possible, if you don't hold the bottom piece, that it can fall apart. But I realize that to depict him smoking the pipe in that way would require a hand, too.

If you paint it, you might also want to add the fine cords and tassels that often decorate such pipes. They are usually wound around the stem, the bottom and the bowl. Some pipes are fitted with a little wire loop on the plating on the bowl's lip, if there's a lid. Others without lids often have a little knob molded on the front of the bowl, and the cord is looped around that know. And I've seen tassels made from bits of wood or bone, some with Gamsbart bound in them (the coarse hairs that grow on the chamois' back. That's what makes the "shaving brush" you see Bavarians, Tiroler, etc, using to adorn their hats, the bigger the Gamsbart, the mightier a huntsman you are, or so the thinking goes), or shaped like acorns, or even cartridges, for military subjects. I'd also want to make the seams more distinct, they're a little soft.

Sorry if it's a nit-pick, but I have similar pipes in my collection. I'm the same way with beer mugs.

Prost!

Very neat, finally some attention to Bavarians, long overdue

Great sculpt and painting, I agree with brad about the pipe weight etc but, in my opinion, I think it is a nice "recreation" being a bust, and is not necessary add all the elements, hands, arms, body, etc. , we don´t see the backpack, but we assume it is there. The pipe is the detail that makes the difference. Well done.
