Hello All,
The trousers are mostly finished with acouple of pouches added.There will be an assault rucksack to add.comments welcome.
Andy

It really makes a difference having straps, kneepads, etc. scultped in before the clothing, it makes a very convincing draped and taught effect.

Hi Andy, WOW, this is going to be one ripper of a figure, can't wait to see it completed, a absolute definite to go into my collection when available. Keep up the great work make.

This looks the business Andy. I've just started a Maurice Corry Afghanistan 120mm sniper which may go well with the one you are working on- if it's the same scale. Great stuff and good luck with it.
Gordon

Hello Gordon,
Although I havnt seem Maurices work in person,you may find these 1/16 figures are slighly smaller than a 120mm figure.I use 1/16 because scaling the weapon is easier.
Andy

Hello All,
The arms ,handscand sleeves have been started.Gloves will be added later.Once the arms are complete they will be separated from the body and the upper torso will be sculpted.Comments welcome.

Hello All,
A start with the vest and pouches has begun.The arms were removed to allow modelling the front of the vest.I turned a roller to make the grooves of the bands on the vest only to find that a piece of 1mm wide plastic card helped just as well.
I will make a Mk6 helmet as an option as this helmet has a nice form and the new camo cover can be painted on it and should suit the figure just as well.
The arms are now slightly raised owing the the fact that there is the front of the vest to bear in mind.I think the pose has,nt lost anything in general.It might have enhanced it.Comments welcome.
Andy

Hello All,
The arms and head are now seperate so now work in other ares can start.The pack has been started and pouches on the upper torso.Comments welcome.
Andy
