Hi Guys.

A commission from a conversation at Nantwich Show recently, where the guy had seen my Desert Tender crew, WIP and has asked if I could make him a driver for his Model T rail conversion., as per the pics.

All sculpting in Milliput over a galvanised steel wire armature (except the arms, which is copper!). Head for scale and pose, but will be used as a dolly for the new one. Posed in my Desert Tender, but will eventually sit in a LHD version!!

Bottom half almost done, next, onto the hands, head and shirt details. photos have downloaded out of order, but youll get the idea!

Steve

Outstanding sculpting as always, Steve, & such an obscure subject too. Following with much interest, now that they've taken 2 of my favourite Northern Soul shows off BBC Sounds on Friday/Saturday nights!

KTF & KOKO,
Chris

Cheers Chris - its a shame you cant receive Signal Radio down there - theres a cracking Northern Soul show on there on Friday nights!!

KTF & KOKO!!

Nice start Steve, looks promising.
Steve

Cheers Steve - you keeping Ok?

But there is a bright spot - I can still pick up Keith Fletcher’s (top bloke, runs Soul In The Dales at Skipton) Saturday Night Soul on BBC Radio Lancs, & it’s now 4 hours long - a 4 hour festival of Motown & Northern every weekend, bliss!

Not sure what the vehicle will ultimately look like - Ive just been commissioned to do the driver! Taking a bit of a flyer on the uniform, but it looks in period, looking at the pics.....

Love the subject and work!

Thanks Matt!

More progress pics of this one. Still some detailing to do, but almost there.

Steve

Excellent sculpt, Steve - folds & creases on the shirt & pants are very realistic.

KTF,
Chris

cheers Chris! KOKO!

Yes thanks mate, plodding along.

Nice to see the figure progressing some more, looking very natural and relaxed pose wise
Cheers
Steve

Cheers Steve - thanks for the positive comments!!

Very, very nice, very unusual thing, this vehicle. Happy comission, it is beautiful work on figure

Cheers Borek
