First off, welcome to the forum. We always welcome guys with that kind of talent.
I showed one of the photos to my wife - she thought it was a real dude. You know how picky wives can be…

Welcome along to the forum. What a stunning piece of work you have there. The way you have shaded and highlighted this is simply a delight- particularly the way you have depicted light falling across his face with the high points picked out. The wood on the e-tool is also done with such care it looks like a real piece, smooth with use and catching the light where it juts out from under the shadow of the pack above. Can I ask is this a figure you sculpted yourself or is it a kit?

Welcome to the forums Kiwi! A lovely start to your time here too! Also great to see a model of a very ( and very unfairly!) under represented subject

Apart from the comments already made, I very much like the textured surfaces of the elements like the scarf and water bottle holder. Nice work!

Do you usually work in this scale or was this a special project?

Looks like a sweet little functional work space there too. Feel free to share any of your other work if you’d like. Also nice to have more members on board from this part of the planet!
