Hi Tony, what can I say mate, I feel very humble by your very kind words. This sculpt by Phil is a real beauty.
Kind regards. John

l've spent alot of time looking at John and Marks'and how they have brought to life the subject,..a numder of blokes have this figure now and many are going the dramatic approach it should prove an eye opener.But l do appreciate the good thoughts viewed on the sculpt thank you..l have in mind another water bust, that of a WWll Cockle shell hero Frogman, head and shoulders and hand free of the water,mask pushed back,yes/no................??

Although I have commented prior on this work by John, I must say that after viewing this piece in the "flesh' today at our local model club I can only say what a fantastic piece of sculpting and painting. And now will get one for myself. Well done to the two chaps involved in this great work.
Cheers Les

Hi Karl,thanks for the kind words, nice to know he inspired you ,I would buy it if you like him mate and enjoy painting him.
Kind regards,John

Hairy arms... Seriously?

I think I might just give up now.

Sir... You have a certain talent for figure painting.

Phil, that idea of the half figure Cockle Shell frogman with the mask pushed back sounds great to me. I look forward to seeing that one.

This is beautiful work from sculpt to brush just awesome and this frogman if it grows from idea to resin I'm in!!!!
Cheers
Chris

Hey

Hey Phil, thanks brother was a joy to paint. Man the frogman sounds cool.I think with the mask pushed back would be the go.
Cheers John

Thanks Les, look forward to your version.

If I can keep the old fella trapped to his desk (hehe) there is always a chance to see more lovely sculpts
