Howdy,
my latest sculp is ready for painting, or is it??
The first photo shows him before priming. Others after first primer. Now I can search and correct surface imperfections. He is 1/16 and schratchbuild except for the head and gun. Comments welcome.

Great likeness Pekka.
Very good work.
Well done.
Cheers,
Keith

Awesome! You really captured his likeness. But even in the reference picture he looks to me like Billy the Kid armed with AK 47 and I had no idea about this subject.
Cheers, Martin

Great job on this figure Pekka! I really like the subject, not only for personal reasons, hope it will be ready for Moson!
Remember your quiz question on it, I haven't seen this photo yet.
Looking forward to see the painting progress!

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Denes,
I might even promise that he will be ready for Moson.

Great sculpt, Pekka!!
Well, however, I don't know am able to express in my Eng"r"sh, making a knot on the back of his hand makes your sculpt perfect I felt. Comparing other fine sculpting but it looks somewhat flat hand I felt. So add the swelling of the root of a finger solve it I think.
Anyway, very neat and natural sculpt overall!!

Best regards.

Hi Pekka,
great to see you have had such great progress on the figure. He looks excellent, especially like the folds on the trousers, superb. And a cool and unusual subject as well. Maybe the hands need more detailing, but maybe you will solve that with painting.

Nice figure mate well done... just one thing, buttons are normally on the right of the jacket just wondered if there was any reason it was fastening on the other side? best wishes

Thank you all for nice and constructive comments.
He is actually wearing a ladies coat, that's why the buttons are so "weird".

ok I had no idea about this conflit also, nice to learn new subjects. Great figure anyway, keep going.
