Started a new bust, this time it's an American WW2 Medic. It's still very much a work in progress and although the head is finished there's still a lot of work to do on the torso, helmet and the dog . Looking at the pics again I might have to decapitate the dog to turn his face more forward looking.
Many thanks and all comments and critique most welcome.

Cheers Ken

More Pics

Just a lovely figure...my Dad was a medic in WWII.
I'll venture a guess and say this is a Japanese American soldier in Sicily...just a feeling.
That little Jack is priceless...

Dr Carl, thanks mate for the offer of the saw but no delicate operation needed here, I think the old one two with the axe should do it

Phil, many thanks and you're probably correct on both accounts. However now that you've mentioned it I'll try and find out.
If anyone has seen this pic before and can tell us where it was set would appreciate it. Answers on a post card to......

Cheers Ken

Don't you dare decapitate my dog.
Tom

Super stuff mate and very original, I bet Andy Cairns would be interested in seeing this as well.

Tom it's only modelled on your dog, you'll get it back in one piece
Honest

Rob, many thanks matey and I'm hopeing you don't mean that Andy's already done this.

Cheers Ken

Wonderful and original sculpting Ken. A lovely warm subject. I'll be following your progress with interest.

Great idea, following

Mark

real nice choice for a bust mate and good job on him so far, I like the interaction between him and the dog, you captured the compassion in his face really well which will carry the story.

Steve

Another stunning piece my friend, I will follow with interest.

Outstanding, Ken! Nice, warm scene. The mood is well captured!

All the best,
Dan

Excellent start、Ken.
His expression is wonderful.
I think it's very akin to a picture.
The dog is also wonderful.
I'm looking forward to completion of your work very much.
