Some very nice work on the changes there John

 

[AJay]

Looking forward to this.

 

[John Huggins]

After i primed this bit it looked a bit flat so i have added a bit more detail, ie some folds & added the uniform seams down the legs.

I think it's pretty cool the way you chop these figures up and make it look so effortless!

Good work John.

John, that helmet netting and camo is great.

 

[John Huggins]

Well lads i think this is a case of one cut to many, i dont know iff i can recover from this.

The legs were not to my liking so i snaped them in half & will start again.

The torso is somthing else, it needs to be bent forward & twisted to the right.

I dont know if this is a bit over my head, but i will give it a go & see what comes out.

Ok back to the torso & lets see what all the kings horses & all the kings men can do in putting him back together again.

I'm sure you can put him back together without all the kings horses and men, and still not see the cracks John

 

[John Huggins]

Well made a start on the torso, the Rt arm was raised up to the shoulder & bent scross the chest so had to cut & reposition pluss redo the sleeve & turnup.

Some excellent butchery going on here John, it's one great thread.

Good work, well done thus far....

Ok had a little tinker with this bit, bit more filler & sanding and quick primer to check join lines all seems well.
