Kazufumi,
Great start, and thanks for the SBS! Look forward to seeinf it completed.

Great job so far Kaz. The pose looks very natural. I think you did a great job with the head as well.

Thanks Nick, John,

I focused on the pose and head and I'm really appreciate your comment, I'm really glad.
First of all I paid attention on weight balance and bone structure, I started sculpting from skull and bones, and decided the pose after that.

Oh, by the way, John, Do you remember the comment on your blog here?:

I'm the guy talking about Triathlon. I'm a reader of your blog. Take good care of your surgery recovery.

Thanks Carl, but I think I should shape the left shoulder a little bit more. It's little bit higher and bigger than it should be.

Oh, I mean, left from the figure's view. The right shoulder from our side view.

Kaz, what putty do you use and what gauge wire do you use thanks.

Kaz,
Looks a great figure.
But in my opinion he looks somewhat skinny. Specially the legs has not much musculature.

I use Magic Sculpt and several sizes of brass wires (0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1mm for body, 0.3mm for hand).

Thanks for your advice. He will get fat a little bit more as the process goes by...

I remember well Kaz. I'm recovering well, thanks. Even went for a swim yesterday.

Great stuff! Interesting subject, too!

All the best,
Dan

Kaz,
Excellent work.look forward to more progress.
Andy

Thanks for your comments john, Daniel, Andrew.

Stay tuned for the next progress without hurry...

Kaz, great work on the face and hands and very informative SBS.
Following.

Cheers Ken

Thanks Ken, I'm glad you liked the hand 'cause I think hands are the second "face" of the figure and I take it as one of the most important elements, I'm trying to put particular emphasis on it.

Some progress pics. Started making duffel coat, added a little bit volume to the trousers, and some small modifications.
