Rick Grimes - Prepwork I (cont.)

As I mentioned earlier, prepwork continues at a satisfactory pace. Today, I:
  • re-socketed the left arm to get a positive attachment to the torso; 
  • added a wedge of Rick's box-weave undershirt at the edge of the rolled-up left sleeve;
  • reworked the palm of the left hand to accommodate a pry-bar;
  • sculpted a basket-weave pattern on the flaps of the speed-loader carrier;
  • re-textured the facial hair; and
  • continued working on the pant folds. 
Not bad for a couple of hours' worth of work. . .

FOLLOW-UP. . .       
  • Made a pry-bar from styrene hex rod; and
  • started reworking the coiffure. 
  
UPDATE 17.01.16. . . The figure has been pegged and mounted on its work base.
