Some corrections and progress

After a week of absence to visit my newborn cousin and nephew I continued with the figure. First I had to make some necessary corrections. The position of the riders legs ended up to far to the back. So the rider was repositioned  a few millimeter more to the front. Therefore I had to re-sculpt a piece of the saddle cloth. Next  I fixed the saddle cloth to the horse and re-sculpted the details with a mix of MS and Duro. I also wasn't satisfied with the left arm and after some comments on PF I decided to re-sculpt the folds of the left arm. Also a part of the hand was sculpted. Still have to sculpt the thumb. The last thing I added was the braid work on the jacket and some minor folds on the trousers.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Working on the face and details

The last week I could work on the figure again and I changed the facial expression using a mix of Magic Sculp and Duro. I've made the nose a bit longer and made some more wrinkles on the cheeks and chin. Still a bit of more work to do here by adding a moustache and a bit more cheeks. I also sculpted the colpack, next I the red bag will be added. On the saddle cloth I started adding the details. The sword was carved from a 1mm polystyrene sheet. I'm hoping to achieve a bit more progress during the coming days.

Cheers,
Marcel.
