Default Civil War
This is a Civil War soldier I am working on now. I have a little detail left and some finish. I am posting it now so if it needs anything done I can correct it before i finish it. Let me know what you think. Most of you can see things that I can't.

Ron, that is some pretty detailed work for a man who can't see.

My only suggestions would be to take the shoulders in a bit, and round the legs more.

Nicely done Ron. I agree with Rick , legs need a little more roundness and the shoulders angled a little more from the outside to the neck. All in all Ron, Yep, Nicely done. Keep up the great carving my friend.
