Hi Tony,

that’s a good start. You captured the overall shape quite well.

The upper body looks really good, but is too bulky compared to the legs.
I would agree to Timothys suggestion to fatten them a bit.

The T-piece joint is not really capeable the load given by the upper
body, IMHO. You should try to turn the orientation of the T. Use the single
pin for the rotational movement and the double pin for up/down. This should
also help to get the legs a bit fatter.

Keep building
Marco
