It's been a while, but I've have been slowly plugging away.

Excellent work. Are you going to paint it?

James, it's great having you and your sculptures back, you did a fantastic job, you really captured General Patton's likeness.

Keep up the good work and please continue to post.

Cheers
Roc.

nice work

nice scuplt. Not sure if the helmet looks right, might be the angle ofthe photo

James - Marvelous, very detailed sculpting and I think you've captured the likeness spot on!

Two requests -

Could we see one or maybe two of the portrait photos you used as references?

What is the scale?

All the best,
Dan

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Dan - I'm attaching some reference photos at the bottom along with some front and profile views of the sculpt. The scale is 1/6.

Rob - The helmet has indeed been very difficult to replicate (actually a helmet liner). I may end up leaving it off, if I can't get it to look correct.

Hey Jim,

Looking nice and glad to see you back. I think the helment is to small though, if you look at the pictures you posted you can see that it sould be a bit wider and come down/out a little as well.

Take a look at this http://www.museumofworldwarii.com/Images20...attonManlge.gif

Hey Jim,

Here is one more for you.

Joe

Great work Jim,

You put alot of character of the Iron eater in that face.
Great work.

Great sculpting! Jim - you did a fabulous job! It's a great likeness!

And it kinda figures that old "blood and guts" would wimp and wear a helmet liner and not a helmet. [You may infer from my comment that I'm not a fan of Gen. Patton. Neither am I a fan of Monty, Mac or any other general that thinks more about his image and reputation than the lives of his soldiers.]

Hope you can get the liner fixed.

All the best,
Dan

Thanks again guys. Joe, I will be giving the helmet more mass in front. He's about 70% right now. Lot of sanding and finish work to be done.

Very good work Jim!

Patton's just about done. Just some clean-up left and details on the helmet.
