Looks great to me especially since I am really getting into the 18th C. Can't wait to hear what Gary D and Pete C. have to say

That looks like a nice figure. I really like the pose and how the folds are portrayed, the ears seams to be pretty big, maybe its just me though.

The sculpting is well done, I like the way the clothing and leggings have been handled. My only two nit picks are the moccasin, not sure about the style. The other is the manner in which the sling is situated on the muskets. All in all it's a nice figure that bears a slight resemblance to a figure study by Mr. troiani, except the pose is altered a bit.

As soon as I saw this figure, that picture came to my mind too.

It looks very nice and should paint up well, minor adjustments considered. Certainly from a period that needs some better coverage. It will be interesting to see a painted version.

Thanks

Phil

I concur with Gary.

The moccasins should be of the Eastern centre-seamed variety. Otherwise, a very good and character-filled sculpt.

Love the figure! The face is very well done.
The pose is natural and attractive!
Can't wait to see it finished...
