Hi all. I sat down to work on Sally the dog for the Johnnie Johnson sculpt but couldn't make any headway on that, so I got distracted and started a Russian tank crewman in 1/9 scale. He's only just getting going, but I think I'm heading the right way toward capturing the character of the subject. Your thoughts and comments are always appreciated. Thanks for taking a look and Happy and healthy New Year to everyone.

Nicely done... great character inthe face and nice detail on the tanker helmet. Look forward to more Neill

Great start Martin

Indeed a great start.
Looking forward to your sculptwork.

A little more progress on the head and helmet...I'd like to have him chewing on a piece of straw or wheat. Anyone have any ideas how to do that in 1/9 scale? I'm thinking photoetch might work if there's anything that's appropriately scaled?

Excellent Martin....great sculpt....!!

Excellent head !
So alive...

Is that sculpey ?

Hi Gordy, yes, it's Super Sculpey firm...I really like it to work in since I like to rework things a lot and having no time restraints really helps.

Re: 1/9 Russian Tank Crew, body started

Started on the body for the Russian tank crewman....basic shapes are in, now the fun of adding the details starts..
