I thought I would post up a picture of this part finished sculpt I have been working on since Christmas. I have wanted a figure suitable for modern/post apoc gaming for sometime that is armed with an L85.
I know Empress has modern British infantry but my issue (which seems petty) is the version of the L85 which the figures have. I was in the RAF for 4 years and I want a figure armed with the L85 that I remember from my service days.
So I picked up Hasslefree's L85's and decided to sculpt my figure around it.
Its been hard work, and I know its not really all that good, but I'm really pleased with how it looks. I still need to do another hand, the head and details on the shirt. I'm probably going to give the shirt a collar and then possibly pop a flack jacket over the top, but I'll see how it goes.
I think it looks bloody brilliant so far, don't be so hard on yourself. Look forward to seeing this guy completed.
ReplyDeleteWow, nice work! And ditto Simon Q.
ReplyDeleteWorthy attempt so far. Sculpting is a lot harder that it looks, and your wee man already looks a ton better that anything I have ever made. I look forward to seeing some more.
ReplyDeleteLooking flippin' good so far mate! I'm currently painting something I sculpted(ish) and I don't think Mr. Hicks and the like have anything to worry about...
ReplyDeleteAnyway that can 'push the putty' around achieve something half way human has my admiration - great job Sir.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support guys, it was really really hard work. JP I trust we will get to see your efforts, in my view sculpting is so bloody hard that just making the attempt is worthy of praise!
ReplyDeleteMr Smillie that is looking rather good. You have the a rather good feel to it and the body looks to be a good size.
ReplyDeleteExcellent Smillie...thats some talent you have...looking forward to seeing that finished. Nice work
