    Gentlemen you are most kind. I like the iconic pose in this figure however the sculpting is always a disappointment when it doesn't live up to expectations. I struggled a lot with any sort of likeness and just about achieved vague ressemblance. He looks pretty good from the rear though. So here he is finished.

                I think you have undersold the model and yourself John. It may not be 100% but it isn't far off and is instantly recognisable as to what film and who it is.

                I think it is a wonderful piece and is one that I would love to have on my shelf as, I suspect, would many others.

                  Simply outstanding John. Something I can't even dream of attempting. Don't be too hard on yourself.

                  Very well done.

                  Andrew

                    That has come out really well, IMHO. I would think anyone who knows the movie fairly well will recognise it for what it is (which, I admit, is not me … I saw it 30 year ago or so and not since …)

                      I think that has absolutely captured the essence of the character John. The stare is just spot on. He may not be spot on accurate regarding his features, but the soul is there and that’s what really counts.

                          I so wish i could sculpt stuff as good as this, mine would probably end up looking like mr blobby sitting on a bar stool..

                          as the rest of the guys have said, that's an excellent sculpt, and you instantly recognise who it is... :thumb2:

                            Sculpting figures (especially the likeness of a particular person) is an incredibly difficult skill. I think you’ve done an amazing job on Young Michael Corleone as he ascends to his father’s throne. The pose is iconic and I think you’ve captured it perfectly.
                            Excellent job John - the sculpt is terrific.

                                Wow Mr. B, you have really outdone yourself with this classic!!! Sorry I missed the start, but the end result is stunning!!! Maybe you should make a little scene with Marlon behind him, looking forward too. A man with your talents could make it work, I'm sure......

                                Prost
