Super! :thumb:thumb:thumb

I really like this guy. That's some nice sewing on the chest rig. Tiny little bits all sewed together are a nightmare yet you did a very neat job of it, Kudos. How did you work out the pattern? Details, inquiring minds want to know:) Did you sculpt the head as well? 'Cause it rocks too. I really like the last picture. Made my day with this figure. Thanks for sharing him.

Thanks a lot, fellas!

ScanmanDan: Glad you approve of the sewing! Your projects have been truely inspirational!

The rig pattern was imporvised from a google search for various AK compatible equipment. After scaling the product photo in software, I established the approximate dimentions of the fabric, then eyeballed the rest. The pouches ended up much smaller than I intended.

The design is simple and effective. I intend to construct another one with larger measurments.

The headsculpt is scratch built from sculpy.

gaiagear: Your proven results with pupil positions have been great reference for my decision making process! Props to you, man! :thumb

Nice job on the pouch, stitches are all uniform and small, nice material too. Did you try Krinkov magazines? They are a little smaller and may fit. I always liked the Krinkov myself, kind of an AK carbine, compact and high rate of fire. Nice kit on this figure too; simple and effective, very intense stare.

I have been meaning to try my hand at scratch building gear but I am way to impatient. Since I dont get much free time I am always in a hurry to finish one or two projects in one "bash session". The rigs that I have scratch built (by that I mean pulling apart various rigs and mix matching part to create my own) I have always used super glue instead of sewing. You can quickly and easily make changes or fix mistakes. Outstanding work!

Thanks man!

I too have used fabric glue for parts that are too small to sew. That's a great idea!
