Well, I got him started. I began with chicken wire and got his legs and torso then wrapped it with masking tape. I want to get the legs close to how they should be early on and the torso to the right attitude. I've begun to add news paper. Once I get most of the wire covered and the glue dry I'll study the pics you guys have posted and work on the shape some.
 This will be a slow process but here is where I am now...

The legs and torso look very dynamic already! :-)

I got a little more done, arms attached and a yew bow bent. I still need to get the bow bending a little more evenly. The body shape is so out of the ordinary it is difficult to get the arms, legs and body attitude just right...but it's getting there. Here are a few pics...

You should take that bow and make a miniature tiller tree and post pics in the bow section asking for a tiller check and see how many fall for it, lol.

Great work man, looking forward to more.

A little off both outers and it looks like a bit of hinge is starting in the middle of the bottom limb. >:D >:D  It's looking great!!!  Are you going to reduce the diameter of the bow? It may be the picture but the bow looks like it's about 4" in dia.

It represents a heavy war bow. I'll probably reduce the diameter a bit but I'll fit it to the archer. I just bent the bow yesterday and adjusted the bend some today. I wanted to add the bow(temporarily) to help with the stance and body position. The angle of the legs and body are contorted from drawing a heavy bow and adding the bow helps to see that it is getting close.

I've been slow with this but I want his attitude to be just right...and it seems to be getting there.

Ruddy Darter, if I use the pic of Del for a model I wont have to have a shiny helmet, his bald head would suffice!   ;D
 I'm working on the cloths now. If I get to a good place in the process Ill post updated pics.

Lol, I'm sure it's just a wide centre parting Pat B, ...oh crikey, I hope he don't help me build a matchstick instead of a bow now :laugh:. That's sounds great progress and really looking forward to seeing the Bowman sculpture, looking good thus far  8).
(Are there going to be any hammered in stakes?)
