Seeing muscle addition from top to bottom has made me really appreciate the time and work that has been put into building this model. I feel that the leg is built too large and near and ankle and knee the muscles shouldn't be coming out so far. I'm having trouble with separating muscles and defining them. I seem to overlap everything and then lose track of what was what. I will need to return to the book and online images to redefine each area.
The foot was challenging for me as well. In the same way, the tiny muscles going to each toe seem like they should be about 1/3 as large. Building pieces at this minute scale require patience. They clay usually sticks fairly well and can be shaved down to remove thickness. Yet, on the foot, every time I tried to reduce the height the pieces would just come off.
The overall model building has been frustrating, time consuming, yet very beneficial to understanding the figure in relation to our drawings.

1) it's difficult to tell from this photo, but the muscle on the lateral side of the fibula (the peroneus longus, i think) is too big. do you have the peroneus brevis in there?
2) squeeze lateral thigh in so there is no space or are no big gaps between the clay. IT band can be thinned down quite a bit once it is resting on the vastus lateralis (and doing this obliquely so it is not completely parallel to the edge of the quads).
also, increase the fullness and roundness of the tensor fasciae latae so that it is rounded to the front as well as the side and makes 1/2 of the upside down "v" at the top of the quads, along with the sartorius.
the gastrocnemius can be enlarged a little so we can see it more from the anterior view.
