    Toward the latter part of 2013 I lost my drive for sculpting and modelling in general, I took the time out and watched a lot of T.V and caught up with a few series I had not seen. As a result I got a urge to do a full figure of the leading character Rick Grimes, played by Andrew Lincoln from The Walking Dead series.
    One of if not the most enjoyable sculpt I have done to date, sculpted in Magicsculp and aluminium foil creating the woven effect leather holster/belt and pouches.

    Daryl Dixon on the cards next to sculpt so they can be displayed together.

    Figure is 1/9scale 200mm.

    Thoughts and comments most welcome,
    All the best

    That is a terrific sculpt and if you're going to release it, it's one that I would certainly consider buying as I am a great fan of the series.

    As someone who wouldn't know how to begin sculpting even the most basic figure, I'm always hesitant to nit-pick over the work of the talented puttysmiths among us. But if I may make a couple of suggestions for an even better likeness, I'd say that the hair maybe needs to be slicked back and flattened a little more, especially at the front (he looks a little bit too well "coiffed" for the Zombie Apocalypse), and the nose made a tad sharper. Otherwise it's A1 across the board.

    Looking forward to seeing your take on Daryl.

    The Walking Dead is my favourite TV show at the moment.

    Steve, this is outstanding mate, you've caught this iconic image perfectly. The only think I will say is that you must bring this to Euro and enter it in to the scratchbuilt category, its got gold all over it!

    Hi Steve,
    Nice to see this one finished mate, the detailing is superb. The pose, the stance, the drapery, the look and the textures are on the money for me(y), even if I did not know who he was when you told me:ROFLMAO:, but I do now.:D
    Looking forward to the other one already. Nice to see you have some of your enthusiasm back buddy.
    cheers

    Great to see you at it again. Considered Michonne?
    I also recommend the comic, as it is a bit grimmer.

    Cheers
