Legendary Drivers Figures
Hello:
I hope don't disturb, but I'm working in a serie of legendary racing drivers' 1:43 scale figures (resin kits).
You can see the first kit finished (Tazio Nuvolari) and next releases: Jackie Stewart and Gilles Villeneuve:

Any critic be welcomed.

I've seen some fair likenesses in 1/43, Leo....
but that head is just superb. It makes me want to go buy something Jackie Stewart once drove just so I can buy the kit when it's ready. I enjoy figure building and painting and Have sculpted myself. I'm pretty good at generic figures, but to sculpt a likeness like that is well beyond my abilities.
Thank you for posting, Leo. I've bookmarked your site and I can't wait to see the finished figure.

Thanks again for your kindest words, Rick.
"...but to sculpt a likeness like that is well beyond my abilities."
You've gotten the principal "ingredient": you love to do it.
The second one is more simple: patience.
Next week I'll try to get the first resin castings of sir Jackie and Gilles.
Thanks again and kindest regards:
