Default Doing The Texas Skip

Here's a first look at a figure i'm working on. He will be spining a side-loop with his rope and in the process of jumping through it. I still have to give him a hat and to carve in all the smaller details but the action of the figure looks really good....to me anyway.

Comments always welcome

lynn,


looks like the same face off of the doc, indian, brushpopper, not much difference in your expressions on your faces, would be good to see some different expressions sometime.

Looking forward to seeing it finished! Good work! Will be nice to see the rope attached to his hand. Will you glue it in place, or drill a hole to attach?
