Gday there
I have basically completed my most recent figure for my Sherman. It is of a tanker rugged up for cold weather. He has a resin head, and injection hands and resin boots, and the rest I made out of Magic Sculpt.
Not necessarily happy with the hands, and may sculpt some gloves? I also think his cuffs are a little too loose fitting...
Cheers
Brad

Nice job Bradley.
I don't think the hands are bad at all, knitted cuffs stretched.

Nice one, Brad!
Will this guy go with your previous tank crewman? Like Dave said, the hands are fine. Keep us posted! Dave

I like that he is a bit scruffy and not so much the usual neat n'tidy soldier we are so used to.
Looks good from here. Do your figures make it to a manufacturer? If so who please.

Very nice!
I like the natural pose and "unkept" appearance. If this figure becomes available commercialy, I'm sure it would sell.

I agree - I like it and I'd buy a commercial version. Nice job!

Hey thanks very much lads!
Dave, the cuffs will probably stay now, but gloves will be added methinks...
Dave II, this is essentially the first of my figures to be useable, and more will be to follow...
Alan, I'm flattered that you think I may have a manufacturer, but I've only been sculpting since late last year and still improving with each one! Would be nice to be able to produce some miniatures in poses seldom seen to make up the black spots in the market, such as Allied tankriders, Brit./Comm. tankers in action poses (no tea or coffee here thanks;) and tankers doing general duties such as track maintenance, shaving chowtime etc.
Marc & Jim, I may cast off a couple of this character, just to see how it appears in resin. Casting in itself is new to me, and I have someone in mind to cast this for me first... But thanks for the vote of confidence in the figure style! The next development will be to work on boots and heads!
Cheers
