very nice and inspiring sculpt
That first picture makes him look a little bit long of torso and short of leg. 
not necessarily anatomically incorrect, I think one could describe Mel Gibson that way too  ;)

Ha!

I've gotten some mail about this this morning. So, here's the story:

However you feel about the a certain movie, it was filmed in my back yard, literally. I grew up in South Carolina and they filmed this in and around my home town. There are a couple of scenes that take place on land we used to own.
A lot of my friends were ACW reenactors and the production company slurped some of them up to be extras in the film. Muskets are muskets, right? They had a lot of fun. A few weeks ago I was talking to one of them and he had mentioned that after all these years some of them had finally gotten into gaming. I had tried to prod them into it when I still lived near them and they have finally learned that running around in the woods with muskets is a younger man's game. Dice are so much less work.
So I commissioned tidyfiguremaker to do this sculpt so I could cast it up and send a bunch of them home to my old buddies. I'll most likely start selling it in late July. I'd like to get them theirs first!


Ooh Josh he is very nice :-*

Nice sculpt but doesn't look quite drunk or anti-semitic enough to be a decent likeness.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

I suppose you could always sculpt Mel with a copy of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in his hands. His bizarre pro-monarchy stance you could proably cover off with a small crown or sceptre.
