Hi lads and lasses
Here's a near complete sculpt of an armored dough that I whipped up last week...





He is far from perfect in the vision that I had, but will work as a good study for Mr. Armored dough version 2.0... His pose is a little too rigid for my liking; trying to strike a balance between alertedness and relaxedness...(!)
I'm not adept enough to sculpt the extremities as of yet, but with time and practice, anything can be achieved...
Grand scheme is to sculpt/convert a recce crew for an M8 Greyhound...
Anyone that knows my works will have to be asking "So what about all your other projects?!" Don't worry, I'm asking the same thing...
Cheer for taking a butchers
Brad

Good morning Bradley,

Your sculpting gets better by the day. The fold's are perfect for me.

And yes, i thought about youre other in progress works, but i also know, that concentrating on a new part of the hobby, the sculpting, takes a lot of time.


Cheers
Claude

Hello Bradley,

Very nice figure.
What a joy to sculpt our own figure, isn't ?
Nice job on the pose. He looks like as if was about to open a door or check a room.
Best,
Julien

Hi Brad

Really nice sculpting on the clothing, specailly the trousers. The first pic make the position of the left hand look a little strained to me, with the elbow stuck out slightly, the lower edge of the palm looks as if it should turn a bit more towards the body and follow the line of the forearm.

And yes I've been sitting at my desk try the pose

Bradley,

Outstanding job! After a 2d look, I'd have to agree with David, the left hand/wrist/arm doesn't have a "natural" lie to it. But I have to say again, outstanding job!

Thanks again
Julien, that is kind of the scene I would set him in
David, don't get yourself fired!
Thomas, I see what you and David mean, and that is the sort of feedback which will make version 2.0 better!
Cheers
Brad
