Here it is, the final lay-out
The figure is ready to be primed as is his gear (I will do that after this post) but I wanted to give you all a glimpse of the final product.

Ronny...... when seen tlike this ....... this is an amazing dio. Everything fits!! Perfect size of a rock face and still a manageable size. Even now with the addition of the rope, it brings realism and a lovely picture to light. Using the often heard cliché ... really looking forward to seeing this finished!! Good luck!

Very convincing Ronny. I like the look of the rock. Just a thought, would it be possible to add a little tree or bush to the peak of the mountain?

Kencelot,
I have planned to put a littl tree at the botom but I am not sure if I will put it there.
I find it very distracting.

The puch is made from a Italeri waterbottle, cut the top of and drilled out at the top there is a milliput edge.

Nope, simply Lead wire, bend around a plastic jig

I like..., I like.....
Darn hard to get the right inflection in there..
Very nice!
How hard was it to carve away the socks and boots?
The rack of gear looks convincing as well.
Good job!
