I don't know if it comes across from my sketch, but what I do think about this statue is that it's quite reminiscent of Soviet Expressionist state art. This is  our square chinned proletarian hero, exhorting his workmates on to greater and greater efforts. Here is another sketch which incorporates the statue: -
