Taking shape

At last, the sculpting is done. This took me a considerable amount of time - somewhere in the order of three months, mainly due to an enforced break in June for exams.

The figure is based of a 1/35 German Ardennes infantryman - all the yellow parts were pre-existing, and I sculpted and repaired it to fit what I wanted - there were also several repairs that were necessary due to parts that weren't present on the original (e.g. belt and coat folds on the back of the figure).

I would also like to note that the sculpting looks much rougher than it does in real life - a couple of coats of primer have done wonders to fill in the tiny imperfections, and of course the pictures are several times real size as well.
