Hi Andy
the work in total are good ....
if I can say something....... the low part of the coat to seem itself a little long and rigid one.

However a good job

Thanks Maurizio

for the comments,Yes from this angle the folds in the lower coat look a little flat.It could be more interesting with another fold or two,thanks.

Hello Andy,
I agree whith Morizio, a little more ''live'' in the back of your coat will be better, for the rest, as far as I see, it OK to me.
Bye

Very good sculpture, Andy!

Best regards
Artur

Andy - Is this a Russian partisan or ? Do you have a reference photo that you're working from? Excellent sculpting (of course - what else!!!???). Not the liveliest pose, but classic portraiture. I think his hair looks wierd, but, hey, poor fella, he may just have wierd hair - -


All the best,
Dan

Andy, well done over all. I would agree with Maurizio's comment about the coat, a bit stiff below the waist for me.

Dan, that just has to be a hat. If not, this poor fellow does have some coif issues!

OKC

Jay - I'm really not trying to make fun - I seriously thought it was hair! LOL!!!

I think I see what you're saying - he's got a short fur busby on sideways kinda.

Sorry Andy! No offense!!

All the best,
Dan

Good work.
It is remarkable portrait similarity to the original is transferred.
On a photo the commander of guerrilla group Kovpak is represented.

can't add much more except that the lower part needs a little more adjustment. Not just the coat but the but the boots looking also not really finished. I don't see any heels or so.

vergilious

The boots are the Russian winter boot 'Velenki'.I think they are woolen .I have made Velenki.

Hi Amcairns
On valenoks there can not be folds as on boots.

Thats the very portrait I worked from.From Vladimir Karpov,s book Russia at war.In there is a full size picture of Kovpak.
Andy

I agree with the others, with a few minor adjustments, this has the making of an awesome figure.

Cheers and do continue the good work.
