Hello guys!
Alright, good news are that ALL FOUR models are prelim done. I feel they look good enough to be released.
I have read the comments to previous SitRep and have a following conclusions:
1. Unfortunately, classic rifles (without pistol grip) will be out of options for this release. Rea...

Hey guys!
For now, the situation is following -
First model is DONE (which doesn't sound like a big achievement, but trust me it is). I've decided to go tame on a folds to have more slim-fit look for both jeans and jacket.
Not sure if it is a good thing, so you tell me.

So long story short, I've been reached with a question sorta like "will anything western be in the set" so i wanted to check with you.
Since i can't squish EVERY weapon i have in the set (because it is time-consuming work), we're gonna have to choose.
There will be two options:

Hello guys!
Good news is that two models are more-or-less done (just need to replace the boot sole for the sitting guy).
Also - i will probably do also alternative torsos wearing plate carriers and warbelts, else the release will be a bit too low-profile and less usable i guess.
That's it for now.
Cheers!

First pose done! I've decided to be pretty tame on jacket's folds, because of how "softly" thick fleece folds. He will mostly have folds on the back and under hands, which i think is alright.
