Hello All,
Here is a start on a 90mm subject of a 17th century cossack with the help of Martin Rohmann an expert in the field of the Cossack.
The basic pose is fleshed out with the doglock musket also in basic construction,needed to set the pose.
I tried this stance with my garden shovel to find that the forearms lean quite a bit forward and not so vertical as I would have imagined(I should however be putting the shovel to more practical use such as digging the vege garden).
Comments welcome.
Andy

GREAT pose, Andy, thanks!!!

Cheers

Very cool! Looking forward to seeing it in completion!

Great figure!
The pose reminds me of James Dean in the film Giant?

...or martin Sheen in "Badlands"?

Good guess - but it was this model...:



Cheers

Good looking natural fall on the coat Andy, like especially the 'heavy woolen' feel this sculpting has achieved.
Hope to see this fellow on the weekend if you have him with you

I can only echo Mike.
Great sculpt so far.
