So thanks everyone for following along, appreciate the encouragement as I try to work through the HOWS of the crazy WHATS that I commited myself to building!
Next one will be straight OOB! (Any bets on how long that will last?)

How to get ahead in the Regio Esercito
After trying a zillion positions all afternoon, shave a little here, twist a little there, put the steering wheel in so that he clears it, slope his butt so he's leaning outta the car, opening the door and pulling through his firearm...
Head is just too big!
Back to the tickle trunk, finally settle on bare head yelling, with his feathery helmet on the seat.
This head is from Hornet... they have a great selection.
Tomorrow I will fill some gaps, put creases back in clothes, sand and prime.
In case you are wondering why it took all afternoon:
I cut his right mid sole, ankle, knee, and drilled out his shorts.
The left leg rotated from the cut knee so he can put his weight down, and severed his hip to swing the leg out.
The torso is rotated a bit
Butt was reshaped so it contacts the seat in New position
Right arm was cut at wrist, elbow and shoulder and I must of played with that over an hour so that it cleared the steering wheel, looked relatively normal, and he could grasp his weapon.
Bored out his neck and shaped the new neck and head to be looking to his left,
Oh, and have the hand land in right spot on the door!
Enough for today!
