Well, I’ve been beavering away with this baby and now there is a little bit more to show.

Blimey it looks crude blown up this big!
I’ve added the fall and a bit of button detail to the breeches.
I took the arms off to work on them. Having changed the positions the creases were all wrong, and they were very crude anyway, so out came the dremel. I slimmed down the cuff detail as well. They still need a bit of filling.
A lot of the time has been spent texturing the haversack with a heated knife

After(but not finished yet)
I’ve had to do it in stages as it’s so tedious-I ‘m going to have to do it with the bearskin too. Ugh!

I’ve tried to give him a bit of character, as if he’s an old campaigner who’s lived mostly outdoors for most of his life.

Anyway, that’s where we currently are.
Thanks for following
Cheers
