Hey everybody,

I would like to share with all one of my recent sculpting project. It's based on a painting of a pioneer of the army of cumberland by Don Troiani. I have decided to vary the pose with one of his legs stepping on the back of the spade. Hope you will enjoy this thread.

That's my wire armature. Front view

That's one of the side views. I have also sculpted the shoes for the figure. As for the detail of sculpting, I will update them in my website (most probably next weekend).

The flesh out figure. The head is from Verlinden which I will be modifying. I will post the picture of the modified head tomorrow.

Looking from the side.

Looking great so far Wong. What scale?

Wong, Great choice for a figure, you can't go wrong with a Troiani figure study. My only comment is he looks a little wide in the shoulders. You might want to bring the shoulders in a bit.~Gary

Wong Yau,an EXCELLENT subject choice for a scratch-build !Looking forward to the SBS on your webpage.Cheers !

Dear Jason, the verlinden heads are meant for 120mm figure, unfortunately they are slightly under size. When I based upon the 7.5 head proportion the figure ends up about 110mm tall instead of 120mm.

Dear Gary, yes I do agree that the shoulders are wide. I will be craving away the excess resin to bring the shoulders in. Thanks for bring it up.

I have included a series of modification which I made to the head.

Dear all and kenneth,

I have included a picture of my intermediate step before fully fleshing out the figure.

Wong, Very nice. I like the sbs showing the addition of the beard and forage cap. I can't wait to see the next set of pictures.~Gary

Hey folks,

I have some SBS regarding the shoes minus the shoe laces. Hope you like it. Currently I am working on the pants. I hope that I can post them asap.

BTW I am also working on two other projects, one is an alabamian. the other is a fallschirmjager.

Looking terrific Wong.......love the sbs on the shoes / boots

Hey Guy,

Glad you like it. I will be ading on the shoe laces as it's too fragile. Most probably before painting the figure.
